Welcome to the last entry of UploadVR's Best of VR Awards for 2025.
The year's almost over and we're once again celebrating this year's best releases across the VR and wider XR industry, highlighting some exceptional releases across software and hardware alike. Just like we always do, each category features one clear winner and varying numbers of honorable mentions. Excluding our specific early access categories, all of our winners are currently in full release.
Like last year, we've split the awards across multiple rounds. Our first round covered platform favorites for Quest, PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Apple Vision Pro, joined by our favorite exploratory experience. It's here where we recognized Ghost Town, Roboquest VR, Arken Age, Gears & Goo, and The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up.
Round two is where we focused on achievements across mixed reality, hand tracking, and early access releases. Our winners across these categories were Jigsaw Night, Laser Dance, Forefront, Little Critters, and Figmin XR.
Which leaves us with some of our biggest picks still to come, the moment we've all been waiting for. Here are UploadVR's Best of VR Awards 2025.
Best Virtual Place 2025
A small number of software packages in virtual reality have grown so large and diverse that calling them games doesn't really apply anymore. They are places, vast, with interconnected systems that make spending significant time there a delight for many. VRChat and No Man's Sky come to mind as candidates for this category in future years, and both were considered to inaugurate this award category at UploadVR.
In 2025, Walkabout grew from a game to a place as mini golf became secondary to the best place where people congregate in virtual reality.
The artists at Mighty Coconut entered the year realizing Elvis as a course to play on and ended it with the best physical illustration of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ever made. In between, Walkabout's creative director and mastermind Lucas Martell took golfers to the seat of the gods at Mount Olympus, face-to-face with dinos at Raptor Cliff's, sneaking into a Mother Goose-inspired theme park at Forgotten Fairyland, and up close with Neko Atsume kitties all over a tiny Tokyo. While Walkabout's courses always had secrets, like hidden balls and skeletons, now they've started adding playable activities like slingshots and chess. Designers continue rooting around the backstage areas as they add the foundations for future activities and new secrets to discover in places players have been hundreds of times.
The design team spent days together in December roughing out courses that will open starting in 2027. From release in 2020 for standalone VR headsets, we see other developers following the precedents set by Walkabout – guest mode for paid add-ons, private rooms by default, and support for a single controller.
Whether you're looking to introduce yourself to virtual reality or get lost in there for days, Walkabout Mini Golf is the right onboarding experience for most people and a great place to be.
Best VR Developer
We've seen some impressive work from VR developers this year. Mighty Coconut keeps releasing regular DLC courses for Walkabout Mini Golf, Flat2VR Studios continues to deliver impressive VR adaptations like Roboquest VR, while nDreams Elevation and Fireproof Games both showed strong VR-focused gameplay design across Reach and Ghost Town respectively.
This time, our Best VR Developer award goes to VitruviusVR for its work on Arken Age. We previously discussed what we loved about Arken Age when giving it our Best PlayStation VR2 Game of the Year award, praising its exemplary approach to VR-first gameplay design. However, it's a testament to the studio's strength that it did so while leveraging the strengths of each platform so effectively. For that reason, we're giving them this year's award.
Best New Hardware
This year saw Meta break its three-year streak of new VR headset releases, Apple upgrade its “spatial computer” with a new chip and strap, Samsung launch the first product running Google's Android XR, and Bigscreen refine its ultralight headset with improved and adjustable lenses.
Bigscreen and Apple deserve mentioning here, even though they aren't our winners.
Beyond 2's lenses fix a crucial flaw of the original to make it a viable optical experience for far more people, but the device still requires SteamVR Tracking base stations, an expensive technology that Valve itself is abandoning.
Meanwhile, the M5 Vision Pro's Dual Knit Band is a truly innovative approach to headset ergonomics, combining the benefits of a comfortable soft strap and counterbalance in one design, plus the ability to tighten both bands with a single dial. But other than this, it's a minimum-effort upgrade.
Our winner this year is Meta Neural Band included with Meta Ray-Ban Display. Surface electromyography (sEMG) is not a completely new input technology, but Meta Neural Band brings it to a sleek, lightweight, and flexible wristband with all-day battery life and IPX4 water resistance.
Meta Neural Band makes it practical and comfortable to control a smart glasses HUD without needing to constantly use voice commands, wear a giant ring, or wave your hands around. And for this, it wins our Best Hardware Award for 2025.
Best New Multiplayer Game
Social gameplay remains one of VR's most appealing strengths, and this year continued providing strong contenders. While Breachers would have been in contention if it wasn't in early access, plenty of multiplayer games either launched or finally reached full release.
Ultimately, our winner for VR Multiplayer Game of the Year 2025 is Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked. Resolution Games brought back 2021's hit in style, and we considered it a “mostly natural crossover and a fitting evolution” on Demeo. If you can't commit to a real-life tabletop campaign, this is an excellent option that flatscreen players can also join in on.
And so, we now move onto one of our biggest categories. Our previous awards looked at games for individual platforms across Quest, PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Apple Vision Pro. This is what we believe stands out as the absolute best of the best across all four.
2025's been another year when the releases seemingly never end, and that's been especially true these last few months. Hotel Infinity, Roboquest VR, Marvel’s Deadpool VR, Demeo x D&D, Ghost Town, Reach, Arken Age, Lumines Arise, there's a lot to choose from, but we can ultimately only crown one title.
Same as our best PlayStation VR2 game, our winner for VR Game of the Year 2025 is Arken Age. Ghost Town and Roboquest VR have their own individual strengths on Quest and PC VR, yet Arken Age graced each of its platforms with some of the best VR focused design we've seen in 2025.
“Arken Age delivers clever VR-first gameplay design for a great sci-fi adventure,” we said at the time, praising its vibrant presentation and rewarding combat. As mentioned before, our appreciation for VitruviusVR's action-adventure has only grown since launch, and it's a strong choice no matter your headset.
So then, what's next? 2025's brought a strong line-up across Quest, PC VR, and PS VR2, and we've seen plenty of promising VR and MR games on the way in 2026.
Our Most Anticipated Game of 2026 goes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City, an action-adventure that supports single-player and up to four-player co-op. We've already had a brief look at what's to come, and we can't wait to see how Cortopia Studios adapts the iconic series on Quest 3 and PC VR.
MR Clean could be the PowerWash Simulator of mixed reality, and it's heading to Quest 3/3S next year.
Developed by PotamWorks (Smash Drums), MR Clean is a roomscale mixed reality cleaning game designed around hand tracking controls, where you clear virtual dirt off your walls, floors, and furniture. This also comes with a 'Virtual Objects Mode' where you clean detailed 3D models piece by piece, alongside a two-player 'Party Mode' you can play locally.

It's originally inspired by a mixed reality experiment created in Smash Drums, where you can splatter your room with virtual paint.
“While the painting mechanic became a natural fit for Smash Drums, and one of its more iconic environments, the cleaning phase ultimately didn’t align with a game built around chaos and rock ’n’ roll,” states PotamWorks, who revived the idea for the Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition 2025.
Collaborative content and themed challenges are also planned for the upcoming game. Crossovers have already been confirmed with Red Matter 2, Ancient Dungeon, Deisim, Smash Drums, “and over 15 other fan-favorite experiences.” Finally, PotamWorks states MR Clean will also be compatible with the Quest's Travel Mode.
2025 is nearly over, and this year's seen us explore many new locations across VR and mixed reality. Today, we're highlighting some of our favorites.
Like last year, we're splitting the UploadVR editorial team's top picks for 2025's best titles across three articles. This first one looks toward the best games across four platforms: Apple Vision Pro, PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Meta Quest. We're also discussing our top immersive entertainment experiences beyond gaming, too.
The next article will focus on mixed reality apps and games, alongside a focus on this year's best uses of hand tracking. Because only fully released games normally count, tomorrow will also include our early access categories.
Finally, our last article features our biggest awards for 2025. In line with last year, this includes the Best VR Game Of The Year across any platform, Best VR Hardware, Best Developer, Best Multiplayer, Best Virtual Place, and Most Anticipated VR Game for 2026.
So, let's begin with the first round for our best of 2025 awards.
This year's award goes to The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up, a free-roaming VR experience based on a Taiwanese short story. While you can't influence what happens, most scenes are fully explorable as you witness the narrative unfold. It feels like walking into a movie, going that extra immersive mile while backing that up with a compelling narrative.
Apple developers only started supporting tracked controllers near the end of 2025 as games like Pickle Pro started supporting the input method. Big name title Glassbreakers made its way to Apple Vision Pro in 2025, alongside the winner of Apple's own selection for best of the year, puzzler Porta Nubi.
Gears & Goo from Resolution Games is our winner for Best New Apple Vision Pro Game. Resolution's developers adapted tower defense to Apple's gaze and pinch interface with a challenging multi-hour campaign, and we'd love to see more Gears & Goo in the future.
There can only be one winner, and Ghost Town is 2025's Quest Game of the Year. Fireproof Games delivered what we considered to be an “utterly engrossing supernatural VR adventure” with strong gameplay design and some of the best visuals we've seen yet on Quest 3.
It's a highly worthy follow-up to Fireproof's previous hit, The Room VR: A Dark Matter, and we'd dearly love to see more of this world in the future.
For 2025, Roboquest VR is our PC VR Game of the Year. Flat2VR Studios' exhilarating conversion of RyseUp Studios' 2023 FPS roguelite feels like it was natively designed for the platform, and we called it “an instant classic” in our review.
It's another year when PlayStation VR2 relied on third party publishers - Climate Station aside - and the hits continued coming. 2025 provided a strong library like Hitman, Maestro, Of Lies and Rain, Demeo x D&D, Reach, Lumines Arise, UNDERDOGS, and Roboquest VR. We're also not forgetting Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, which has gradually improved with updates.
For 2025, Arken Age is our PlayStation VR2 Game of the Year. VitruviusVR delivered a strong sci-fi action-adventure with tactile VR-first gameplay design. While it's also a solid PC VR and Quest 3 game, Arken Age benefits from Sony's headset with strong haptic feedback and PS5 Pro enhancements. Our appreciation's grown since launch and if you love action titles, it's an essential buy.
Iron Rebellion prepares for the future with today's update, giving the multiplayer VR mech game overhauled AI units, new modes, and more.
Now available on Quest and Steam, developer Black Beach Studio describes today's 'Foundations Update' as a “meaningful step toward the next phase of the game’s development.” This introduces Abandoned Sector 9, an official new map originally created by a community Discord member, Kforce, that's since been revamped by the studio's lead artist.
Stating Abandoned Sector 9 represents the team’s updated visual direction, Black Beach Studio calls it the “highest-fidelity environment ever produced” for Iron Rebellion. This map features flooded alleyways, fractured overpasses, and broken megastructures across a dense battleground, which the studio advised offers a preview of this universe's future.

This update also introduces a complete AI systems overhaul to help Iron Rebellion's expanding PvE direction. “With new behavior profiles, adaptive threat response, and moment-to-moment context awareness, AI units now support more reactive, varied, and engaging encounters across every existing mode and all future cooperative experiences,” states the team.
Two new gameplay modes are live: Death Match is a timed free-for-all mode, while Gun Game sees you advance your loadout by killing enemies using a randomly selected mech class.
Finally, Iron Rebellion also received a full networking rewrite that the developer states separates the backend from its previous team-dependent structure, allowing them to introduce new game types in upcoming updates.
“This update moves us one step closer to the types of experiences we want to build,” said Justin Spice, Founder of Black Beach Studio in a prepared statement. “The new AI opens up design space we didn’t have before, and Sector 9 shows where we’re taking the world visually. There’s a lot ahead, and this update is an important part of getting there.”
Iron Rebellion is out now on the Meta Quest platform and Steam.
On Point, an arcade shooter inspired by WarioWare, gets new game modes and more with its full release on Quest and PC VR.
Launched last year in early access, On Point is a '90s-inspired VR light-gun shooter by Australian developer Actuator Digital. It's now entering full release with a considerable revamp, introducing two new modes: 'One-Off' lets you play individual mini-games of your choice, while 'Marathon' sees you try getting through all 115 mini-games in a row.

Several existing modes have been reworked, and you now earn arcade tickets as you play to unlock more options. There are also new environments and 60 more mini-games to choose from, some of which are variants of the existing options. Other changes include remade menus for an improved UI, additional accessibility options, new leaderboards and balancing tweaks.
We previously interviewed Actuator Digital around the early access launch, discussing the risks of making indie VR games with CEO Sebastiaan Fehr. This also touched upon On Point's inspirations, why the studio picked a more cartoonish approach, and more. You can find that in full here.
After the best PlayStation VR2 games? Here are our recommendations for the top 25 best PS VR2 games on the PS5 VR headset.
At launch, PlayStation VR2 came running through the door with a fairly hefty library of VR games and several exclusive titles. The PS VR2 library received a few new ports and exclusives across its first year, and it continues receiving new third-party titles as more upcoming VR games eventually arrive. We're continually trying out new experiences to keep our list of the best PS VR2 games updated, so we'll refresh our picks as time goes on.
We’ve tried to represent titles across various genres, showcasing the best picks in each and ranking all 25 games in ascending order. There are some obvious picks and first-party exclusives you might expect to appear, but there’s also a pleasant selection of hidden gems from indie developers as well.
Most of these games are multiplatform and also available on Quest, Steam, or the original PlayStation VR. However, they often offer improved visuals and other upgrades on PS VR2, particularly compared with Quest. Where possible, we'll highlight reviews for each game's PS VR2 editions. If a multiplatform game doesn't have any major differences, we'll link to reviews carried out on other platforms.
Honorable mentions
We have to draw a line somewhere with these lists, but there's plenty more great options to choose from on PlayStation VR2. So, we'd like to offer some honorable mentions here, too. These are all games that were either previously included on our list or didn't quite beat out the rest.
We've linked our reviews or other coverage below where possible, and here are a few additional choices worth looking into.
With that said, here are our current picks for the top 25 best PS VR2 games available right now.
Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One
Developed by Survios, Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One is a single-player, action-horror VR game with an original story. Starring Zula Hendricks as the protagonist, this former Colonial Marine turned Xenomorph hunter focuses on the search for Zula's former squad mate, who's gone missing on the remote mining planet Purdan.
What follows is a commendable yet sometimes flawed entry in the series. Our launch review praised the “immersive atmosphere, engaging storytelling, and captivating emotional character dynamics,” though we criticized some repetitive elements and lack of closure. Even still, Alien: Rogue Incursion delivers a strong choice if you're looking for a new VR action adventure. Just make sure you don't accidentally buy the 'Evolved Edition', that's a flatscreen only version.
Arizona Sunshine 2 is a fantastic VR campaign featuring pitch-perfect writing, acting, pacing, and outstanding action. It's everything you hope for in a sequel, taking everything that worked in the original and refining it to near perfection. This time, you'll be joined on your adventure by canine companion Buddy, who you'll use for crowd control during intense action sequences and develop a relationship with across the course of the campaign.
This follow-up to one of VR's seminal early hits reanimates the zombie genre and brings with it some of the most engaging and accessible arcade violence we've seen in VR. Plus, the entire campaign is playable in two-player co-op, just like the first game. Whether you're looking to dismember some zombies alone or with friends, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a great pick. And when you're finished, we recommend checking out Arizona Sunshine Remake too.
Arken Age is a game that's paid clear attention to evolutions in VR gameplay design across the last decade and utilizes those to its advantage. Developer VitruviusVR has delivered a satisfying sci-fi action-adventure where you defend this fantasy world against mechanical creatures, offering a sizable campaign with room for a follow-up.
That's all assisted by a vibrant presentation with great visuals and strong audio design, and PS5 Pro owners get a noticeable boost too. Native 90fps gameplay is available with a resolution boost, while both PS5 consoles use dynamic foveated rendering and eye-tracking for aim assist. It's our VR Game of the Year for 2025, and an absolute must for action fans.
For the longest time, Beat Saber has been VR's poster child and one of its earliest (and continuing) successes. It's always been a natural fit for VR, where you'll slash notes to the beat of the music, dodge obstacles, and try to master a truly spectacular selection of first-class music tracks. It's an empowering, energetic, and addictive VR game.
There's been plenty of new DLC added to Beat Saber over the years, including high-profile artists like Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, and many more. On PS VR2, Beat Saber delivers improved visuals and great haptic support via the Sense controllers, alongside cross-buy support with the original PSVR version and DLC.
However, we may remove this entry in future list updates. Beat Saber is ending PlayStation VR and PS VR2 support with no further content updates to come, while multiplayer support will end for both headsets on January 21, 2026.
Before Your Eyes is a tragic yet beautiful narrative experience, with the VR version available exclusively on PS VR2. It's a unique 90-minute story with an eye tracking mechanic unlike any other use of the technology so far. You're transported back into the memories of the protagonist, Benny, experiencing them from his first-person perspective as they happened.
The catch is that every time you blink, the story moves forward. Sometimes, it's just a moment, and sometimes, it's a jump forward a few years into the future. What follows is a unique, compelling, and innovative VR experience that demonstrates how the medium can tell stories that movies, games, and other media can't. Plus, it's a controller-free experience with very little artificial movement, making it accessible to almost anyone.
For the longest time, Demeo held a seemingly permanent spot on this list. We considered Resolution Games' 2021 tabletop game to be a major hit, delivering a first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience that few games – flatscreen or VR – have ever matched. Demeo Battles doesn't scratch the same itch as a PvP spin-off, though Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked stylishlly surpasses the original.
While Battlemarked doesn't use a Dungeon Master (DM) system, what's here is an incredibly natural crossover with Wizards of the Coast's successful tabletop RPG. It evolves on the original Demeo's formula well, letting you and a group of friends traverse dungeons with more narrative-driven campaigns. No matter the platform, it's a must have co-op experience.
Ghost Town is one of our favorite new VR games in 2025, and it's a strong return for Fireproof Games following The Room VR: A Dark Matter. Set in the '80s, this story focuses on a witch turned ghost hunter and exorcist called Edith Penrose, who now heads up a paranormal detective agency with her flatmate across London.
It's a brilliant supernatural puzzler that delivers a thoroughly compelling mystery, fantastic visuals, and intuitive puzzles that never feel too difficult or too easy. Our only big complaint is that we wished it lasted longer, and it's slightly let down on PS VR2 by using reprojection from 60Hz to 120Hz. Still, don't let that deter you. If you're a fan of narrative-driven adventures, we highly recommend taking a look.
Gran Turismo 7 is one of the most potent racing sims to ever grace VR, and it's available exclusively for PS VR2. While the menus display on a flat screen in the headset, the races and gameplay itself will take place in full, immersive VR - it's a sight to behold.
Not only is the game stunning, it offers fantastic racing simulation with various levels of difficulty, a full campaign, and many other modes, all available in VR. For racing fans, this is an absolute must.
Hitman World of Assassination on PlayStation VR2 is technically the fourth time we've seen IO Interactive's series adapted for VR, and this is easily the best edition yet. This latest release improved on the PSVR and original PC VR versions by offering ambidextrous controls, dual-wielding, manual reloading, and roomscale gameplay.
It's a redeemed experience that's further enhanced by improved weapons handling and full physical interactions across these environments, such as poisoning food by pouring a vial of poison onto it. Sadly, plenty of side content doesn't support VR, like the bonus missions. Still, if you're after a lengthy campaign with high replayability, Hitman World of Assassination is an excellent choice.
As one of the few first-party games with PlayStation VR2 support, Horizon Call of the Mountain quickly left its mark when the headset launched back in 2023. This PS VR2 exclusive is one of the most visually stunning and dense VR experiences available, with some stunning environments that rival Half-Life: Alyx.
While the gameplay isn't necessarily revelatory for VR, it is nonetheless incredibly polished and a stunning experience to behold in the headset as you explore a different side of this world as someone apart from Aloy. We awarded it our Favorite New PS VR2 Game for 2023 and for any PS VR2 owner, Horizon Call of the Mountain is a must-have.
Kayak VR: Mirage was a highlight of the PS VR2 launch lineup, offering a stunning visual presentation and a relaxing experience across four locations: Papagayo, Antarctica, Bjørnøya, and Australia. There's a competitive multiplayer mode, but it's free roam where the game shines, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.
It may not feature a fully fledged campaign or an extensive selection of game modes, yet Kayak VR is one of the most relaxing VR experiences available on the platform and a joy to look at from every angle. That's only improved with the Soča Valley and Yucatán DLCs introducing two new environments, and a real-time multiplayer update also appeared.
It's almost impossible to discuss Lumines Arise without comparing it to the studio's prior work on Tetris Effect. These two series have always been separate and while your mileage will vary on which game you prefer, the parallels between both are undeniably striking. Either way, Lumines Arise is arguably the long running puzzle series' best entry yet.
Core gameplay remains almost unchanged from prior entries, where you match 2x2 blocks to clear the grid across a campaign mode. Placing a 2D game here may seem strange, yet Lumines Arise's stunning presentation feels even better with its optional PlayStation VR2 support. It's a mesmerizing audiovisual spectacle that truly sings inside a headset.
Developed by Vertigo Games, Metro Awakening is an origin story based on the post-apocalyptic series by Dmitry Glukhovsky that takes place five years before Metro 2033. It's an impressive first-person shooter packed with impressive atmospheric immersion, all while delivering a strong narrative that grapples with difficult themes of grief and mental health.
Though our review noted some issues with repetition and sometimes clumsy reloading, combat generally feels satisfying. The enemy AI can offer a considerable challenge as you weigh up being stealthy or going in guns blazing, and it gets our recommendation on PlayStation VR2.
No Man's Sky is notorious for its rocky launch in 2016. Since then, however, the game received VR support and a wealth of updates that have turned it into an expansive survival space simulator. Various updates also overhauled many of the VR mechanics, adding new interaction methods and immersive menus, and the post-launch updateshaven't stopped.
On PlayStation VR2, No Man's Sky brings the entire experience to the next generation. Recent updates even improved the image quality and added enhanced rendering, so the game now looks better than ever. If you want to explore an infinite, endless universe in VR, look no further—No Man's Sky is the perfect fit. It's also the first PS VR2 game to use PS5 Pro's PSSR AI upscaling.
Developed by Castello Inc., Of Lies and Rain is a near-future narrative-driven FPS where you fight to save humanity from near extinction, using the ability to cross between the real and digital realms. What follows is a memorable narrative-driven adventure that takes roughly over 10 hours to clear, helped by gripping exploration and intriguing puzzle mechanics.
It's arguably even better on PlayStation VR2, boosting some already impressive visuals with native 90fps performance or 120fps if you're using a PS5 Pro. If you need more convincing to jump in, Castello released a free PS VR2 demo that's also available on other platforms.
Pistol Whip is one of VR's longest-running and well-updated games across all platforms. Luckily, it shines on PS VR2, looking fantastic and taking advantage of PS VR2's unique features such as adaptive triggers in the Sense controllers. Headset haptics on PS VR2 also add to the immersion, letting you truly feel each time you get shot and giving those moments a much greater sense of impact.
It's a beautiful intersection between rhythm games, Superhot-like action, and Matrix-style cinematic flair. You'll move along on-rail scenes with enemies popping up to a pumping soundtrack. Your task is not just to shoot the enemies as they approach but to do so in time with the beat of the music. It's a fantastic concept, and developers Cloudhead Games continued expanding the game for years with numerous free content updates.
Marking the debut game from nDreams Elevation, Reach won us over earlier this year on PlayStation VR2 more than any other platform. A cinematic story where you portray a reluctant hero, this adventure sees you unearthing the secrets of an underground civilization as you take down a series of mythical threats.
It's not one we'd recommend for VR newcomers; what's here is an unapologetically high-intensity action game that remains thrilling throughout. Blending this with cinematic thrills, high production values and highly satisfying combat, Reach ultimately won us over with its strong VR-focused design. Twomajor post-launch updates for all platforms have only strengthened it further.
Resident Evil Village marks the second mainline Resident Evil game to get VR support after Resident Evil 7: Biohazard launched with PSVR support in 2017. Much like Biohazard, Village is a phenomenal launch title for PS VR2 and a remarkable horror shooter with a fully fledged campaign that's captivating from start to finish.
It's particularly impressive given that the game was designed for flatscreen platforms first. However, that also means that it features sequences that might be fairly intense for new VR users. Expect your head and field of view to be quickly repositioned, shoved, and moved around without notice. Nonetheless, the well-paced campaign, gorgeous visuals, and engaging gunplay make Resident Evil Village easily one of the best experiences on PS VR2 right now.
Yes, we know - there are two Resident Evil campaigns on the same list. However, both games deserve it. While Village is a fantastic campaign in its own right, the Resident Evil 4 Remake VR Mode is the definitive way to play an all-time classic in VR. It's worth noting this is actually the second version of Resident Evil 4 in VR - the first being Armature's 2021 port of the original for Quest.
This new release lets you experience Capcom's recent remake, featuring updated gameplay and modern visuals, in VR Mode for PS VR2. While the remake doesn't completely escape the trappings of its third-person origins, it nonetheless presents a thrilling, nonstop campaign with excellent action and stunning console-powered visuals. It's Capcom's best Resident Evil campaign in VR to date, and there's a free VR Mode demo available too.
Initially developed by RyseUp Studios, Roboquest is an FPS roguelite that first appeared on flatscreen platforms back in 2023. Already a great shooter in its own right, Flat2VR Studios took that a step further with its exhilarating adaptation. If we didn't already know it was a flatscreen game, you'd be hard pressed to and we called it “an instant classic” in our review.
Roboquest VR feels like it was natively designed for the platform, being completely rebuilt with key gameplay adjustments such as manual reloading. With a strong soundtrack, highly satisfying gameplay and considerable polish, it's incredibly impressive conversion earns a place on this list - especially after getting a native 90fps mode. Now all we need is the two player co-op update to arrive.
After its work on The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, Skydance Games followed this up with an original action RPG, Skydance's Behemoth. Inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, this giant killing adventure sees you exploring the Forsaken Lands. Behemoth is ultimately at its best when facing the terrifying foes, and this delivers some truly awe-inspiring moments.
While we won't deny that Skydance's Behemoth had a rough start - we noted a few issues in our own review - things have begun turning around following a slew of post-launch updates. Alongside extensive bug fixes across the first two patches and combat adjustments, it's also added New Game+, plus a boss rush mode and Arena Mode revamp.
Synapse is a PS VR2 exclusive from veteran VR studio nDreams that will make you feel like a gun-wielding Jedi, thanks to the creative use of the headset's eye-tracking technology.
The highlight of this roguelike shooter is the telekinetic abilities. You can intuitively select items around the environment by just looking at them, then launch them at enemies using motion controls. Gameplay would benefit from a bit more variety but it's a visually stunning release, and the eye-tracking implementation results in some super-satisfying combat.
Following his work on PSVR's Ghost Giant, Olov Redmalm is working in VR once again with a new studio, MoonHood. Featuring optional PlayStation VR2 support, The Midnight Walk marks the team's debut title with a dark puzzle adventure that uses claymation visuals. We found it to be enchanting and bleak in equal measure, comparing it to a twisted fairytale and a Tim Burton film.
It's a memorable adventure and one of the most visually unique experiences you can find in VR gaming right now. Though we noted some small issues and found the puzzles relatively easy, The Midnight Walk delivers a gripping adventure that's worth your time.
One Hamsa's VR mech brawler roguelike made a big impact last year, earning our Best PC VR Game of 2024 award. UNDERDOGS is a physics-based brawler that uses arm-based locomotion and a comic book-style presentation. This 22nd century underground roguelike fighter set a new benchmark for VR arena combat.
Between its stylish visuals, grimy soundscape, and unique character, UNDERDOGS feels fresh and exciting. Numerous post-launch updates have taken this further, such as 'Sandboxxer' with its level editor, while the more recent 'Rampage' mode added an endless endurance mode. More updates are coming, with a multiplayer mode next on the list.
Mini golf is actually something that could and should work quite well in VR. Walkabout Mini Golf is all the proof you need; it's an accurate representation of the game that goes beyond what's possible in real life while also remaining authentic throughout.
This ticks all the boxes. Plenty of courses, extensive multiplayer support, different themes for each level, and, above all, pinpoint physics that are arguably better than the real thing because there are none of the small snags you'd find on the surface of physical courses. Plus, the game receives ongoing support from developers Mighty Coconut, with regular free and paid DLC courses added over time.

Trombone Champ: Unflattened gets an official crossover with indie hit Celeste, adding 10 tracks in a new song pack today.
For the unfamiliar, Celeste is a 2018 flatscreen platformer developed by Maddy Makes Games. Playing as Madeline, you seek to climb Celeste Mountain while a personification of her self-doubt attempts to stop her. It features a soundtrack by composer Lena Raine, this song pack is now officially available in both Trombone Champ and Trombone Champ: Unflattened.
Flat2VR Studios advised that because some included songs originally ran for 10 minutes or more, they have “carefully edited them down for length while keeping the parts that hit.”
You can find the full Celeste Song Pack track list below:
First Steps
Madeline and Theo
Resurrections
Spirit of Hospitality
Scattered and Lost
Starjump
Reflection
Confronting Myself
Heart of the Mountain
Reach for the Summit.
While Unflattened only receives the Celeste Song Pack, the flatscreen version of Trombone Champ gets two additional DLCs today with 14 songs each. One is based on cartoon platformer Pizza Tower, joined by an Undertale + Deltarune pack. It's worth remembering the latter previously received Unflattened DLC in August, though that only contained six songs.
The Celeste Song Pack for Trombone Champ: Unflattened is out now for $7.99 on Quest, PC VR, and PlayStation VR2.
Beat Saber gets the Coldplay Music Pack, featuring 12 songs covering the band's wider history.
Out now on Quest and Steam, Beat Saber's Coldplay Music Pack covers the band's wider discography from the last three decades. It features songs such as 'Yellow' from debut album Parachutes, all the way to 'feelslikeimfallinginlove' from 2024's Moon Music. This also adds a new environment that Meta confirmed “draws inspiration from the band’s vibrant live shows, music videos, and album artwork.”
The Coldplay Music Pack comes with all twelve new songs for $14.99, or you can pay $1.99 for individual tracks. Here is the full track list:
A Sky Full of Stars
Adventure of a Lifetime
Clocks
feelslikeimfallinginlove
GOOD FEELiNGS
Something Just Like This
Speed of Sound
Talk
Trouble
Viva La Vida
WE PRAY (ft. Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna, TINI)
Yellow
This latest music pack was previously revealed during last week's announcement for a free, upcoming Coldplay concert in Meta Horizon. Meta confirmed it's partnering with iHeartMedia to bring the band's Music of the Spheres concert tour to Meta Horizon, using 180-degree VR. That's based on the band's stint at Wembley Stadium and goes live on December 30.
There's still more to come for the band's collaboration with Meta. Last week also confirmed that Coldplay is returning to fitness app Supernatural in the US and Canada, following its original appearance in 2022. This will introduce three new workouts, and that begins on December 29.
Beat Saber - Coldplay Music Pack is out now on Quest and Steam.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is now inside Ghosts of Tabor through an official DLC crossover.
Combat Waffle Studios CEO Scott Albright confirmed that the latest wipe for Ghosts of Tabor would launch on December 17 alongside a brief teaser introducing the crossover in the Ruff Talk VR Gaming Showcase. Hours after we published this story, that's now gone live as a premium content pack with new Splinter Cell-themed gear.
“This collaboration means more than dropping an iconic character into our game. Splinter Cell defined an entire generation of tactical gameplay, and we are bringing that legacy into VR,” stated Albright in a subsequent LinkedIn post.
Splinter Cell has its own history in virtual reality, too, and you may recall Ubisoft announced VR entries for it and Assassin's Creed at Facebook Connect in 2020. The latter eventually launched as Assassin's Creed Nexus in 2023, though Splinter Cell VR was cancelled in 2022 alongside three other Ubisoft titles. At the time, CEO Yves Guillemot stated that Ubisoft was “adapting [its] organization to current economic uncertainties through cost optimization.”
We're seeing an increasing number of crossovers in Ghosts of Tabor in recent months, timing up October's Terminator: Dark Fate DLC with additional Halloween updates. Last month also saw Combat Waffle team up with Starbreeze for an official PAYDAY collaboration.
Dawn of Jets gets multiplayer support for the VR aerial combat game, and it's now left early access on Quest.
We initially covered eV Interactive's Dawn of Jets following its early access launch. Featuring ten different aircraft with the promise of more to come, this gives you a fully interactive cockpit with the stick, throttle, weapons systems, and more as you go dogfighting across the skies. Now, it's received online multiplayer alongside its full release.

Detailed further in a recent update post, Dawn of Jets' new multiplayer mode supports up to seven other friends in free-flight, deathmatch, and team-based matches. eV Interactive states more modes and missions are coming “in the future,” though a specific release window wasn't mentioned for these.
Multiplayer joins three previously available gameplay modes in Dawn of Jets. These include a Career mode with dozens of missions, alongside different Challenges where you compete for the top of the leaderboards across combat, race, and aviation scenarios. Finally, Flight mode lets you explore this world at a more leisurely pace.
Dawn of Jets is available now on the Meta Quest platform.
GORN 2 received a new “dungeon brawler” mode in its winter-themed update on Quest, PC VR, and PlayStation VR2.
Now live on all platforms, GORN 2 is the comically over-the-top arena brawler where you battle the five sons of the God of the Afterlife after reaching your untimely demise. While the main campaign puts you into a series of arena fights as you defeat muscular gladiators, publisher Devolver Digital announced it's now received a dungeon crawler mode.

Appropriately known as the 'Dungeon Brawler' update, this also comes with various winter-themed additions like icy floors, new dungeon hazards, and the ability to freeze enemies. New weapons include hockey sticks, icicle swords, ice arrows, pitchforks and more, while developer Cortopia also introduced a jump button to leap over enemies.
New story content is also promised and this dungeon crawler mode features 25 unique rooms, with the studio confirming player and weapon modifiers can be found as you progress. Additional missions are also available for unlocking the dungeon crawler weapons.
This joins a growing list of seasonally themed updates that GORN 2 has received. October's 'Fight of the Living Dead' update celebrated Halloween by letting you fight the undead, also adding a crossbow, scythe, and a Resurrection Spire. That was followed last month by 'Shanksgiving' with its timed-exclusive 'Turkey Hunt' game mode.
DrakkenRidge gets a free expansion on Quest 3 and 3S, adding a new island, new enemies, and more.
Launched in September, DrakkenRidge is a retro-themed VR fantasy adventure that we favorably compared to old-school RuneScape in our impressions. As a Novice of the Mage Order, you're tasked with policing magic use across this land while exploring dungeons and solving puzzles. Now, it's received the Maruk's Hammer expansion as a free update.
While the main game sees you exploring five unique islands across the DrakkenRidge archipelago, Maruk's Hammer introduces a distant Dwarven Island that's home to a mythical Forge. With the island under siege from mysterious invaders and an ancient threat, you must fend off this threat to help the Dwarves defend their home and save the Forge.
This occurs over a multistep main quest, with four new side quests also available. You can find two new weapons, such as the talking 'Void Whisper' sword that's possessed by an ancient evil. New elemental arrows can also be crafted, while new enemies in this expansion include a new Dragon, a Frost Howl, Battlemages, and Corrupted Paladins.
It's the biggest update DrakkenRidge has received since its September launch, and Garage Collective previously released fourseparate updates. Patch 1.3 added a new distance grab ability and the option to summon weapons by grabbing from over your shoulder, while last month's Inventory Update delivered a new inventory layout and auto-sorting ability.
DrakkenRidge and the Maruk's Hammer update are out now on Quest 3/3S.
Update Notice
This story was initially published on December 17, 2025. It was updated on December 18, 2025, when the expansion launched.
Stealth shooter Espire: MR Missions gets a standalone release in early access, and existing Espire 2 owners get it for free.
Revealed last month, Espire: MR Missions expands upon the mixed reality mode previously seen in Espire 2: Stealth Operatives. This comes with 29 different missions that dynamically adapt to your home, taking out guards and navigating traps between 21 small-scale single-room missions and eight large-scale multi-room missions. That's out now for the wider Quest platform.
0:00
/1:30
Detailing its reasons for making this a standalone launch, developer Digital Lode advised that it's “proven very difficult to maintain the MR mode within the larger Espire 2 VR game” as mixed reality technology evolves. The developer also believes that roomscale mixed reality offers a different appeal compared to Espire 2's fully immersive VR missions.
As such, Espire 2: Stealth Operatives will return to being 100% focused on VR and its existing MR support will eventually be removed. Because of this, anyone who bought Espire 2 on Quest before today's launch will receive MR Missions for free, while all future Espire 2 owners will get a discounted rate.
As for its latest additions, the early access release of MR Missions comes with five new missions and a new target shooting game mode. Digital Lode advised that its core 'Espire Spatial Adaptation System' for adapting levels to your space has seen “tonnes of improvements,” while some mechanics have been simplified. There's also a new user interface that's been designed for mixed reality.
Espire: MR Missions is out now in early access on Quest for $8.99. A full release date is unconfirmed, though the studio advised that it's preparing a roadmap of “new missions, modes, features, and content.”
Originally released in early access in 2018, Zero Caliber by XREAL Games is one of VR's older FPS hits that have since appeared on most major VR platforms. This comes with a campaign that supports single player and up to four-player co-op, PvP game modes, and a Zombies mode. Having originally targeted a December 12 launch, it's now arrived on PlayStation VR2 following a brief delay.
We've yet to go hands-on with this new edition, so we're unsure whether this features any PlayStation VR2-specific enhancements at launch. In a social media reply, the studio confirmed that adaptive triggers support would arrive “either in a day-1 or week-1 patch.” We've contacted the studio asking for further details, and we'll update this article if we learn more.
It's the first time we've seen the Zero Caliber series reach PlayStation, and you may recall a port was planned for the original PlayStation VR. The studio later confirmed this was based on the Quest edition, Reloaded, citing “hardware limitations” as to why it couldn't port the PC VR version. This ultimately never materialized, and today's release is based on the PC VR edition.
As for what's next, XREAL Games previously advised it's planning to bring the sequel, Zero Caliber 2, to Sony's headset following October's PC VR remastered launch. However, a specific release window is currently unknown. Elsewhere, the studio released a new Zero Caliber 2 quality of life update on Quest with new weapons, and a Steam update for Remastered is also arriving soon.
Spatial Ops expands the mixed reality FPS's map creation tools in today's free update on Quest, also adding custom rulesets and a new co-op survival mode.
In the 'Blueprint Combat Update', developer Resolution Games has introduced the ability to edit Spatial Ops maps in real time before beginning a multiplayer match, where everyone can see the changes immediately. This also adds 'Undo' and 'Redo' tools, hazardous damage zones that slowly drain health, floating barriers, and the option to place text in levels to better guide players.
As for other changes, Spatial Ops now features an online map library, the ability to save a host's map, and new map templates. Custom rulesets can now be saved to individual maps, letting you tweak elements like bot difficulty, friendly fire toggles, weapon tuning, armor visibility settings, and more.
It's also getting a co-op survival mode for taking on challenges together with other players. Supporting this is a new 'Enemy Spawner' object to determine where foes appear, alongside a Flashbang weapon. Finally, there's also a new paid DLC called the “Corrupted Technology Theme,” offering unique props for your toolkit.
It's the latest post-launch update since Spatial Ops entered full release last year, and this August saw Resolution Games release the 'Pulse Protocol' update. That introduced bHaptics support for the TactSuit, TactSleeve, and TactVisor, in-game achievement tracking, campaign rebalancing, an extra large map template, and new features for the Quest-exclusive Arena Mode.
Spatial Ops is available now on the Meta Quest platform. While it didn't receive today's update, a 'Campaign Edition' is also on Pico.
Game Night's new minigame blends Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots boxing with Sumo, and it's out now for the co-located mixed reality party title.
Released last year in early access, Game Night by New Zealand studio Fantail Games is a family-friendly roomscale title that's playable solo or with up to four players locally. Joining this minigame collection as a free update, Final Throwdown only uses hand tracking as you directly control the fists of your robot avatar to punch opponents out of your shared arena.
Designed around “short, high-intensity rounds,” Final Throwdown sees you knocking other players out of the ring to score points. Throwing them into hoops earns bonus points, while bosses force you to decide whether to cooperate with your opponents or use the disruption to your advantage. Arena height adapts to the shortest player, which allows for seated play. Fantail also states arm reach is normalized to give adults and children equal advantage.
Final Throwdown marks the seventh minigame so far in Game Night, and the fourth it's received since last year's early access launch. Other featured games include Fishing Frenzy where you scoop up and deliver fish, a match-3 spatial puzzler where you connect matching plushies in a conga line, penguin ice hockey, a Whack-A-Mole game to test reactions, and more.
Game Night is out now in early access on the Meta Quest platform.
Co-op platformer VR Giants is now available on Quest 3 and 3S, and you can invite a friend to join you at no extra charge.
Originally released in 2023 on Steam, VR Giants by Risa Interactive is an asymmetric platformer where one player controls a giant called Goliath and another controls a human companion called David. Goliath will guide David through various obstacles by lifting him or acting as a shield, solving puzzles and avoiding hazards as a team to get through.
Promising a campaign length of 8 hours, VR Giants features cross-platform multiplayer across Quest and Steam. A 'Free Friend's Pass' system (also on PC) lets you invite someone else to join in as David without both of you buying the game, and that uses a room code system.
It features 23 levels across four biomes: Ice, Desert, Volcano, and Pasture. Each area features new hazards, and Goliath can transform into three different forms to help advance. For example, 'Fire Goliath' gives you a lava form, while 'Temporary Goliath' only appears when the button is held. Unlockable Goliath cosmetics are also included.
Both players use VR headsets with the Quest 3 and 3S edition, which differs from the Steam release since that has one flatscreen player using a gamepad for David. Risa Interactive confirmed the Steam version has also been updated to allow online co-op, which was previously limited to local multiplayer only.
Two additional camera modes can also be chosen for David on Quest 3 and 3S, one of which aims for “maximum immersion in VR.” The other more closely matches the flatscreen setup on Steam by offering a 'Cinema Mode' instead, letting you view his role across a virtual 2D screen.
VR Giants is out now in early access on both PC VR and Quest 3/3S.
Trip the Light is a VR dancing game that recently entered early access on Quest.
Developed by Dark Arts Software, Trip the Light is a dancing game that uses both fully immersive VR environments and mixed reality passthrough to see your own surroundings. First appearing last month on the wider Quest platform, the game lets you work with a digital partner to learn new dance routines, complete challenges, score points, and gradually build up combos.
In its current early access build, Trip the Light aims to teach you Salsa using virtual instructors that the studio states are based on real-life professionals. There's also a 'Rhythm Challenge' mode that tests you to follow solo dance styles like hip-hop, line dancing, and club moves.
More dance styles are promised to be coming soon, and buying the early access release grants you the 'First Dance Edition.' It's not clear what further features can be expected for the full release, though Dark Arts Software confirmed that early adopters will receive “all of the basic modes, features, and assets that we build between now [and] then.”
Trip the Light is out now on the wider Meta Quest platform.
Free-to-play multiplayer racer Boom Karts VR is out now on Quest, supporting crossplay with the mobile edition.
Originally launched on iOS and Android, free-to-play racing game Boom Karts has now received a VR edition from Finnish developer Zaibatsu Interactive. This arcade racer sees you try to secure the race wins using power-ups while avoiding obstacles and traps, racing friends and sabotaging rivals along the way. Now, it's come to Quest 2, Pro, 3, and 3S.
Featuring ranked leagues and ranked matches, Boom Karts VR also comes with an adventure mode and quests. Cars and characters can be customized alike through both cosmetic items and unlocking additional upgrades. Compared to the mobile edition, the VR edition of Boom Karts contains various new features like playing in a theater mode.
Game-specific friend lists are also available, as is a 'Teams' option that sees your group unlocking rewards, upgrades, and new items to upgrade your kart. One and two-handed control schemes are supported for the Meta Quest's Touch controllers, as are USB controllers.
Transmission: Shortwave, a casual VR delivery driving sim set in a retro-futuristic Great Britain, is now available on Quest.
Marking the debut VR game from British indie studio Cardboard Sword, you may recall Transmission: Shortwave recently appeared in the UploadVR Winter Showcase. Taking place in an alternative 1990s Great Britain, you're tasked with delivering parcels across these UK-inspired landscapes at your own pace as a member of ParcelPal.
Detailing this further, Cardboard Sword calls Transmission: Shortwave a reflection of the team's “tongue-in-cheek humour and nostalgia.” Leaning into the retro aesthetic, Transmission: Shortwave comes with an original soundtrack that's inspired by early electronic dance music.
The developer states you can simulate driving “as much or as little” as you'd like, letting you use optional shifters, handbrakes, and turn signals. As you progress across the game, you can customize your courier by gradually unlocking different car models and colors.
Transmission: Shortwave is out now as a Meta Quest exclusive for $4.99.
Pocket Lands, a mixed reality sandbox game where you can create miniature worlds, is out now in early access on Quest.
Originally announced at last month's VR Games Showcase, Pocket Lands is a tabletop voxel sandbox game from Thomas van den Berge (Vermillion) through Mountainborn Studios. You can create diorama-like worlds across different biomes in mixed reality with support for both Touch controllers and hand tracking, then explore them in first person with fully immersive VR.

/1:23
In its current early access release, Pocket Lands features various biomes and the ability to create worlds of different sizes. The game also supports a day and night cycle, empty dioramas for building without distractions, quick construction tools, and a virtual camera to record and share your different builds.
For the full release, Thomas van den Berge previously advised Pocket Lands will launch in “the second half of 2026”. The store page's “coming soon” section lists planned features such as multiplayer, cave systems, underground biomes, new surface biomes, creatures that roam these lands, and more. However, it's unclear if each feature will arrive at full release or across incremental updates.
Pocket Lands is out now in early access on the Meta Quest platform. We'll bring you our full impressions soon.
Update Notice
This story was initially published on December 11, 2025. It was updated on December 13, 2025, with a new trailer.
Dimensional Double Shift is out now on Samsung Galaxy XR, coinciding with the game's “largest update ever.”
Previously released on Quest in early access, Dimensional Double Shift is a hand tracking party game where you serve food orders and fix motor vehicles for the locals of each dimension you visit. Following October's New Joysey DLC, it's now available on Samsung Galaxy XR headsets and offers cross-platform multiplayer support with Meta Quest headsets.
Today's Samsung Galaxy XR launch is also joined by Dimensional Double Shift's free Winter Update. Developer Owlchemy Labs confirmed that this includes Solo Practice Experiment, its first single-player mode for the former co-op only experience, which teaches you the game's core systems.
Other new features include rotating weekend Boosters, starting with a limited-time 'Midas Touch' modifier where everything you touch turns to gold. Other Boosters include turning your mouth into a flamethrower, stretching your arms further, and more. Finally, the game's celebrating 'Snow-vertime Fest' from December 18 until January 5, adding a festive hub alongside winter-themed avatar cosmetics and new interactions.
Among Giants is an open world VR adventure from a solo developer that's heading to Quest 3 and 3S next year.
Created by K Monkey Games, Among Giants takes direct inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Playing as Erya across a world filled with ancient giants, you're tasked with exploring the remnants of this lost civilization as you decode its mysterious alien language. Hunting down these giants lets you extract their final memories, as you discover what happened to humanity.
Featuring a 25 km² environment, you're accompanied on this journey by a tiny robot companion called R-011, and a rideable horse you can summon from anywhere using a horn. Over 10 types of enemies are promised, ranging from droids to the “colossal death worm.” Erya comes armed with a bow and arrow, and other non-reloadable weapons can also be found.
Other forms of traversal include gliding through the air, using grappling hooks to navigate cliffs, and swimming underwater. Among Giants also features a dynamic weather system alongside a day and night cycle, where you'll need to carefully navigate heavy rain, blizzards, and scorching deserts alike across this journey.
K Monkey Games informed UploadVR that Among Giants targets a Q1 2026 launch on Quest 3 and 3S. Other platforms are currently unconfirmed, though the Meta Horizon Store presently lists Quest Pro support too.
Beat Saber gets a Coldplay Music Pack next week, and the band's hosting a free concert event on Meta Horizon later this month.
Revealed earlier today, Meta confirmed it's partnering with iHeartMedia to bring Coldplay's worldwide concert tour, Music of the Spheres, to Meta Horizon with a free immersive experience. Kicking off on December 30 at 11am PT, it's using stereoscopic 180-degree VR and that's based on the band's stint at Wembley Stadium.
While the full track list hasn't been revealed yet for Music of the Spheres: An Immersive Experience, Meta confirmed that featured songs include 'Yellow', 'Fix You', 'Viva La Vida', 'A Sky Full Of Stars', and 'feelslikeimfallinginlove'. Free Coldplay avatar merchandise has also been promised, and that's now available via the Avatar editor in VR or the concert pages on iOS and Android.
As for Beat Saber, today's blog post also revealed that the rhythm game's receiving a Coldplay Music Pack on December 18. This includes 12 new songs for $14.99 or $1.99 for individual tracks.
While this introduces a new environment “inspired by the band’s live shows,” it's unclear whether this shares the same track list from the upcoming immersive experience or uses different songs.
Finally, following its original appearance in 2022, Coldplay is also returning to fitness app Supernatural in the US and Canada with three new workouts. Starting on December 29, this includes two multi-intensity Boxing and Flow workouts, which Meta states will blend older singles like 'Fix You' and 'Viva La Vida' with more recent releases like 'feelslikeimfallinginlove' and 'WE PRAY'.
