  • Holy Sheep! Human: Fall Flat Creators Reveal Their Next Hilarious VR Puzzle Adventure, Tiny Flock

    Holy Sheep! Human: Fall Flat Creators Reveal Their Next Hilarious VR Puzzle Adventure, Tiny Flock

    If you’ve ever lost hours to the chaotic, wobbly physics of Human: Fall Flat, get ready to roll up your sleeves—literally. No Brakes Games, the indie studio behind the multi-million-selling platforming sensation, has officially unveiled its brand-new title: Tiny Flock.

    Built from the ground up exclusively for virtual reality, Tiny Flock is an utterly charming, physics-based VR puzzle game set to launch in 2026 on PCVR and Meta Quest. Best of all? It lands at a super accessible price point of $18.99 / €18.99 / £15.99.

    Here’s everything you need to know about this cosy yet chaotic shepherd simulator.

    What is Tiny Flock?

    In Tiny Flock, you leave behind the ragdoll humans to step into the boots of a VR shepherd. Your objective sounds simple enough: guide a group of adorable, slightly reckless sheep to their lush green pasture.

    However, in true No Brakes Games fashion, where your sheep go, they follow—even if that means wandering straight off a cliff edge! It’s up to you to manipulate the environment and keep your woolly friends out of danger.

    Set across 21 beautifully hand-crafted 3D diorama levels, the game treats every stage as a mini tabletop world waiting to be explored, stacked, pulled, and smashed.

    Pure Physics, Zero Fixed Solutions

    What made Human: Fall Flat such a hit was its open-ended puzzle philosophy, and Tiny Flock doubles down on that creative freedom for VR:

    • 100% Interactive Dioramas: If you can see an object in the world, you can interact with it. Want to build a makeshift bridge? Go for it. Prefer to stack crates, smash through obstacles, or swing from levers? It’s all fair game.
    • No “Right” Answer: There are no rigid solutions. Whether you carefully engineer an elegant bridge or create complete, chaotic destruction to force a path, the game rewards experimentation and curiosity.
    • Tactile VR Controls: Featuring full hand-tracking and passthrough support on Meta Quest, players can reach right into the diorama with their hands to guide their flock naturally.

    To top off the cosy atmosphere, the game also features a custom-built physics engine to make every interaction feel punchy and tactile, accompanied by a soothing, original cello soundtrack.

    Designed Strictly for Virtual Reality

    Why pivot to exclusive VR? CEO of No Brakes Games, Tomas Sakalauskas, highlighted the studio’s passion for creating an experience that simply couldn’t work on a traditional screen:

    “Tiny Flock is our desire to make something really good, polished and ambitious that is strictly VR, with interactions impossible on a flat screen… It takes the Human Fall Flat philosophy for its worlds and puzzles and pushes it into interactions unique to VR.”

    Key Features at a Glance

    • 21 Hand-crafted Diorama Worlds packed with interactive objects.
    • Built Exclusively for VR with Meta Quest passthrough and full hand-tracking support.
    • Custom Physics Engine offering tactile, satisfying puzzle mechanics.
    • High Replayability with hidden collectables and achievements for completionists.
    • Atmospheric Cello Soundtrack to set a relaxing, cosy mood.
    • Affordable Pricing: Launching at just USD $18.99 / €18.99 / £15.99.

    Final Thoughts

    Whether you’re a die-hard VR enthusiast looking for a charming new physics playground or a fan of No Brakes Games’ signature brand of cosy chaos, Tiny Flock looks like an absolute gem to keep on your radar.

    Tiny Flock is set to arrive on PCVR (via Steam) and Meta Quest in 2026. Make sure to add it to your wishlist today!

  • Face the Fright Together: Scary Baboon’s Massive Bosses Update Brings Co-Op Chaos to VR

    Face the Fright Together: Scary Baboon’s Massive Bosses Update Brings Co-Op Chaos to VR

    If you thought running for your life from terrifying lab experiments in VR was purely a solo test of nerve, think again. Scary Baboon, the viral multiplayer VR horror phenomenon on Meta Quest, is putting teamwork front and centre with its biggest release yet: The Bosses Update.

    Known for its chaotic jump scares, meme-worthy player interactions, and millions-strong community, Scary Baboon is stepping into a bold new era. Rather than just running, screaming, and scattering in all directions, players are now being challenged to assemble, coordinate, and face down a terrifying shared threat together.

    Enter Meatman: A Failed Experiment Demands Cooperation

    The centrepiece of the new update is the arrival of Meatman as a full-scale co-op boss battle. One of the game’s most iconic and deeply unsettling monsters, Meatman is the grotesque result of a failed laboratory experiment—and he’s not going down easily.

    While brave (or foolish) solo players can try to take on Meatman alone, developer ENVER designed this encounter specifically around cooperative play. To defeat Meatman, groups of players need to combine forces, coordinate their attacks, watch each other’s backs, and revive or support teammates mid-fight.

    It transforms the core Scary Baboon experience from hilarious, frantic survival into a tactical, action-packed team raid—all while keeping the signature horror and comedy that made the game a massive hit in the first place.

    Gear Up and Power Up: New Mechanics and Tech Trees

    The Bosses Update isn’t just about throwing a bigger monster at players; it seamlessly connects several systems introduced in recent updates to create a much deeper gameplay loop:

    • Combat & Loadouts: Weapons and combat mechanics introduced in the earlier Fight Back update now serve a crucial purpose. Players can equip new explosives, shields, and ranged weapons specifically tuned for high-stakes encounters.
    • The Boss Tech Tree: A dedicated progression tree gives players unlockable options and upgrades to tailor their loadouts for boss encounters.
    • Pets Lend a Hand: The adorable (and useful) pets introduced in July’s update now feature directly in combat. Bringing your pets into battle boosts your critical-hit chances against Meatman.
    • Epic Rewards: Defeating Meatman isn’t just for bragging rights—victorious teams are rewarded with rare eggs and the chance to hatch even more powerful pets.

    A Rapidly Evolving Shared World

    The Bosses Update marks another milestone in a rapid live-service run from studio ENVER, following hits like Dreamcore, Fight Back, Toxic, and the Pet Update. With over 73,000 ratings on Meta Quest (averaging 4.7 stars) and a thriving Discord community of over 220,000 members, Scary Baboon continues to cement its place as one of the most culturally active titles in VR.

    Whether you’re a long-time test subject or a complete newcomer to the laboratory, there’s never been a better time to grab your headset, rally your friends, and see if your squad has what it takes to survive Meatman.

    Has your squad attempted the Meatman boss fight yet? What’s your favourite loadout? Let us know in the comments below!

  • Get Ready to Raid: Sweet Surrender Creators Announce DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew for Meta Quest and SteamVR

    Get Ready to Raid: Sweet Surrender Creators Announce DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew for Meta Quest and SteamVR

    The extraction shooter craze is officially hitting deep space in virtual reality. Munich-based independent studio Salmi Games—the brilliant minds behind the hit VR roguelite Sweet Surrender—has officially pulled back the curtain on their next major project: DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew.

    Revealed during the Summer VR Games Showcase, this upcoming title is a 4-player, PvE co-op VR extraction shooter built from the ground up for tactile, high-stakes immersive gameplay. It is officially headed to Meta Quest and SteamVR.

    Check out everything we know about your next favourite VR obsession below.

    The Premise: Raid, Steal, and Survive

    In DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew, you and your squad play as a desperate crew stranded in the dark corners of deep space. Running on emergency backup power, your survival depends entirely on what you can scavenge and steal.

    Your mission? Drop into heavily guarded, ancient alien temples to scavenge rare resources, fight off relentless robotic defence systems, and extract vital energy to keep your dying mothership alive.

    High-Stakes Risk vs. Reward

    True to the extraction genre, the core hook of DRIFTERS revolves around classic push-your-luck decision-making. Do you and your crew risk pushing deeper into the facility for rarer, high-tier loot? Or do you call it a day and extract early before the automated security systems completely overwhelm you? One wrong move, and you lose everything.

    Built for Immersion: Tactile VR Gunplay & Jetpacks

    Salmi Games isn’t just making a standard shooter; they are tailoring every single mechanic to the unique strengths of VR.

    • Physical Interactions: Expect incredibly tactile weapon handling, manual reloading, and physical looting that makes every firefight feel chaotic and immediate.
    • Dynamic Movement: Players will be equipped with jetpacks, adding verticality to the combat and allowing them to boost across environments to flank enemies or escape danger.
    • Sci-Fi Visuals: The game features a distinct, highly stylised sci-fi aesthetic. It’s hand-crafted to run smoothly on standalone VR headsets like the Meta Quest while offering extra visual headroom to truly shine on high-end Desktop PC VR setups.

    “With Sweet Surrender, we spent years refining responsive VR combat alongside our community,” says Yacine Salmi, founder of Salmi Games. “With DRIFTERS, we are taking that experience into a bigger co-op game built around teamwork, physical VR gunplay, and extraction decisions players have to make together under pressure.”

    Crafting and Progression

    The loop doesn’t end when you make it back to the ship. Successful extractions feed directly into a long-term progression system. Back on your mothership, you’ll use your hard-earned loot to:

    • Craft powerful new weapon parts and gear.
    • Upgrade your suits and toolkits for the next drop.
    • Unlock cosmetics to make your drifter stand out.
    • Build out and improve your home base.

    Join the Crew: Community-Driven Development

    Salmi Games has a stellar track record of supporting their titles post-launch with massive, community-shaped updates (as seen with Sweet Surrender). They plan to bring that same collaborative approach to DRIFTERS.

    The team has already announced plans for private playtests, inviting players to give feedback early in the cycle to help shape development before the official release.

    While a solid release date hasn’t been locked in just yet, you can head over to Steam and the Meta Store right now to add DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew to your wishlist. You can also jump into the official Salmi Games Discord to sign up for upcoming playtest opportunities.

    What do you think, TechMashers? Are you ready to grab your squad, strap on your jetpack, and raid some alien temples? Let us know in the comments below!

  • Clear for Take-Off: Sky Legends, An Aeropostal Epic Launches Today on Quest 3 and 3S!

    Clear for Take-Off: Sky Legends, An Aeropostal Epic Launches Today on Quest 3 and 3S!

    Virtual reality has taken us to distant galaxies, fantasy realms, and dystopian futures, but today, developer SUPER AC is taking us somewhere arguably much cooler: the high-stakes, death-defying dawn of civil aviation.

    Sky Legends, an Aeropostal Epic, has officially launched today, Monday, May 18, 2026, for the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S. If you’ve ever wanted to feel the wind in your face (metaphorically, unless you’ve got a fan set up) and step into the boots of 1920s aviation pioneers, this is the launch you’ve been waiting for.

    Check out the official launch trailer below to see the gorgeous visuals and intense flight mechanics in action:

    [Insert Sky Legends Release Trailer Embed Link Here]

    The Golden Age of Airmail Comes to VR

    Sky Legends isn’t your standard arcade dogfighter. It’s a narrative-driven, historical adventure that pays tribute to the legendary pilots who risked everything to establish the world’s first commercial airmail routes.

    Spanning a meticulously crafted 10-year storyline across 6 cinematic chapters, players aren’t just flying planes—they are investigating the history of the transport company itself. You will step into the shoes of iconic historical figures, including:

    • Legendary Pilots: Take the stick as famed aviators like Jean Mermoz and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
    • The Operations Brains: Play as Didier Daurat to manage and develop the company’s dangerous delivery lines.
    • The Visionary Investors: Experience the high-stakes business side through the eyes of Pierre-George Latécoère.

    From charting unknown territories in reconnaissance missions to surviving harrowing historical milestones—like Mermoz’s Atlantic crossing or weathering a crash in the Andes mountains—the game balances heavy historical atmosphere with pure adrenaline.

    Tailor-Made for Meta Quest 3 & 3S

    SUPER AC has built Sky Legends from the ground up to leverage the unique capabilities of Meta’s latest headsets.

    Key Gameplay Features:

    • Full Hand Tracking Support: Put the controllers down. Sky Legends features robust hand tracking, letting you interact with cockpit dials, pull levers, and map out routes with your bare hands for ultimate immersion.
    • Diverse Flight Modes: Toggle between reconnaissance mapping, precision pair-flying in tandem, and high-stress survival scenarios.
    • Breathtaking Environments: Fly over gorgeous, sweeping deserts, treacherous mountain ranges, and historic 1920s air terminals optimized for the Quest 3’s advanced graphical processing.

    TechMash Verdict: Why You Should Care

    What makes Sky Legends stand out in a crowded VR market is its commitment to storytelling and historical authenticity. It manages to blend education, narrative drama, and flight simulation into a cohesive package that looks absolutely stunning on the Quest 3’s pancake lenses.

    Whether you are a hardcore aviation geek, a history buff, or just a VR enthusiast looking for an original campaign that doesn’t involve shooting zombies, Sky Legends is tracking to be a must-play title this summer.

    How to Play

    Sky Legends, an Aeropostal Epic, is available right now on the Meta Quest Store for Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro.

    PC VR and PSVR2 players won’t be left grounded for long, either—SUPER AC has confirmed that SteamVR and PlayStation VR2 versions are currently in development and slated for release later in 2026.

  • Scary Baboon: The “Fight Back” Update is Finally Here!

    Scary Baboon: The “Fight Back” Update is Finally Here!

    For months, the Scary Baboon community has been vocal. Very vocal. Amidst the screams of players being chased through the dark corridors of the lab, one request has consistently risen above the chaos: “Let us fight back.”

    Today, ENVER has officially answered that call. The developer has announced the biggest update in the game’s history, aptly titled The Fight Back Update, and it is set to shift the power dynamic of VR’s most frantic social horror sandbox.

    No More Just Running

    Until now, survival in Scary Baboon was a matter of agility and hiding. You were the prey, and the monsters—from the terrifying Meatmen to the latest failed experiments—were the undisputed predators. This update changes the rules of engagement.

    For the first time, players can stop running, turn around, and actually hit back.

    • Defensive Mechanics: New ways to knock monsters back and create breathing room.
    • Active Engagement: Players can now cause trouble for their pursuers rather than just waiting for the jump scare.
    • The “Enrage” Risk: This isn’t a power fantasy. If you get too cocky and hit the monsters too much, they will become enraged, coming back faster and harder than before.

    “Players have wanted to fight back for a long time, and this update finally lets them do it,” says Kyle Joyce, CEO of ENVER. “But we’re not ruining what makes the game work… you might be able to hit them, but they’re not going anywhere.”

    A Momentum-Driven Launch

    The timing couldn’t be better. Scary Baboon has recently seen a massive surge in popularity following the Dreamcore Update, which propelled the title to become the third most popular game on the Meta Quest store.

    With a Discord community that has swelled to over 220,000 members and millions of monthly views on YouTube, ENVER is leaning into a “faster live update” strategy. We can now expect themed content drops every three weeks—keeping the laboratory fresh and the scares frequent.

    Update Highlights at a Glance

    FeatureDescription
    New CombatMechanics to hit and push back monsters for the first time.
    Enraged StatusA balancing mechanic where monsters become more aggressive if attacked.
    Meta Quest OptimizationEnhanced performance for Quest 2, 3, and Pro headsets.
    Social ChaosNew shared moments designed specifically for creator clips and viral reactions.

    Why It Matters

    Scary Baboon succeeds because it blends high-intensity horror with absolute comedic chaos. By giving players a way to fight back, ENVER isn’t just adding a mechanic; they are adding a new layer of emergent gameplay. Expect to see a lot more “heroic” stands (and hilarious failures) flooding your social feeds this week.

    The Fight Back Update is available to play right now on Meta Quest. Whether you’re a seasoned experiment or a new baboon entering the lab, it’s time to stop running and start swinging.

  • Battered, But Still Unbeaten: Crêpe Master! Flips Onto Meta Quest 3/3S

    Battered, But Still Unbeaten: Crêpe Master! Flips Onto Meta Quest 3/3S

    If you’ve ever felt that the only thing missing from your VR library was the ability to defend the Earth’s most beloved dessert while channelling your inner Sailor Moon, then today is your lucky day.

    Indie French developer Hallucinations Studio has officially served up Crêpe Master!, a vibrant, delicious beat ‘em up VR adventure. It is out now, exclusively for the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, and it’s every bit as delightfully chaotic as it sounds.

    Save the World, One Crêpe at a Time

    In Crêpe Master!, you step into the shoes of Hana, a girl who discovers she is the reincarnation of the legendary Crêpe Goddess. Naturally, this means you’re the only person standing between a ruthless alien tyrant and the total destruction of the world’s crêpe supply.

    Armed with your Sacred Pan and a trusty spatula, you’ll head into battle to bash, flip, and sizzle your way through waves of extraterrestrial invaders.

    Whimsical Gameplay Features

    This isn’t your standard brawler; Hallucinations Studio has baked in some unique mechanics that make full use of the Quest’s motion tracking:

    • Gesture-Based Magic: Strike iconic “magical girl” poses to summon powerful spells. From reflecting projectiles to freezing enemies in their tracks, your movements are your weapons.
    • The Sacred Pan: Smash through alien ranks in satisfying melee combat. Recover stolen ingredients to power up your strikes!
    • Lightning-Speed Cooking: Mid-battle, you’ll dive into high-speed mini-games to craft special crêpes. Adding ingredients like strawberries or bananas isn’t just for show—they infuse your magic with explosive or heavy-hitting properties.
    • Vibrant Visuals: Inspired by classic 90s magical girl anime like Cardcaptor Sakura, the game is a feast of colour and sparkles.

    A Sweet Debut from Hallucinations Studio

    Based in Lyon, France, Hallucinations Studio is a worker-run co-operative making its original title debut with Crêpe Master!. After supporting projects like the multiplayer horror title Haunted, the team has shifted gears to something much more sugary—and the passion for the genre shines through every sparkly explosion.

    “Saving the world has never been tastier.”

    How to Play

    Ready to take up the spatula? Crêpe Master! is available now on the Meta Horizon Store for $9.99.

    Whether you’re in it for the nostalgic anime vibes or you just really want to hit an alien with a frying pan, this is one VR experience that’s definitely worth a taste.

    Are you ready to embrace your inner Crêpe Goddess, or do you prefer your VR adventures a bit less “sweet”? Let us know in the comments!

  • Space Control: Work Off Your Intergalactic Debt Today on Meta Quest and SteamVR!

    Space Control: Work Off Your Intergalactic Debt Today on Meta Quest and SteamVR!

    Ever felt like your 9-to-5 was a bit “alien”? Well, it’s about to get a whole lot weirder. After six years in development, the Belgian team at MoonMonster Studios has officially launched their comedic VR adventure, Space Control, today on Meta Quest and SteamVR!

    Forget being the hero of the galaxy. In Space Control, you’ve been abducted by the intergalactic megacorporation Glorpo Inc. to perform the essential, messy, and downright bizarre tasks that no self-respecting alien wants to do.

    The Grind is Real (And Hilarious)

    Inspired by the irreverent humour of Futurama and Rick & Morty, Space Control drops you into a “whimsically dystopian” corporate space station. You aren’t here to save the universe; you’re here as a “voluntary” unpaid intern working off a debt you didn’t even know you had.

    The gameplay spans three unique, episodic narrative chapters where you’ll tackle jobs like:

    • The Abductorium: Bringing in “fresh” recruits for the company.
    • Alien Daycare: Attempting to soothe hungry, high-maintenance extraterrestrial babies.
    • GlorpoVision Music Festival: Cooking up “questionable” snacks for a rowdy alien crowd.

    Key Features

    • Physics-Based Chaos: Almost everything in the environment is interactable. You can pull, tug, bounce, and toss gadgets and aliens around to your heart’s content.
    • Quirky Crewmates: You aren’t alone in your corporate misery. You’ll be joined by your alien coworkers, Melody, Widgett, and Zorgle, along with your wrist-mounted AI companion, Sydra.
    • Star-Studded Voice Cast: The game features talent from major titles like Genshin Impact, The Legend of Zelda, and The Amazing Digital Circus.
    • Vibrant Visuals: A polished, cartoony art style that makes the corporate drudgery of space look surprisingly inviting.

    Launch Discount: Don’t Pay Full Price for Your Debt!

    To celebrate the launch, MoonMonster Studios is offering an introductory deal. You can pick up Space Control for $17.99 (roughly £14-15), but there is a 10% launch discount available for the first week on both Steam and Meta Quest.

    Pro Tip: For Meta Quest users, look for the 10% discount code posted directly on the Meta Store page today!

    Whether you’re rocking a Meta Quest 3, Quest 2, Pro, or a Valve Index, it’s time to clock in. The alien babies are hungry, the corporate ladder is slippery, and Glorpo Inc. doesn’t believe in breaks.

    Are you ready to start your shift, or are you staying grounded on Earth?

  • Beat the Beats coming to SteamVR and Quest on April 2nd

    Beat the Beats coming to SteamVR and Quest on April 2nd

    The rhythm gaming scene is about to get a serious adrenaline shot. After making a name for itself on PlayStation VR2, the high-energy boxing-rhythm hybrid Beat the Beats is officially expanding its reach.

    Developer Parallel Circles has confirmed that the game will punch its way onto Meta Quest (2, 3, 3S, and Pro), SteamVR, and Pico 4 on April 2, 2026.

    Whether you’re looking to sharpen your reflexes or just find a workout that doesn’t feel like a chore, here is why you should keep this one on your radar.

    Rhythm Gaming Meets Authentic Boxing

    While many VR rhythm games have you slicing blocks or swatting spheres, Beat the Beats differentiates itself by requiring actual boxing fundamentals. You aren’t just flailing; the game’s “beats” are designed to naturally guide you into throwing:

    Jabs and Crosses for straight-on targets.

    Hooks and Uppercuts for targets appearing in arcs.

    Rolls and Blocks to avoid incoming obstacles.

    It’s a minimalist, stylish experience that takes a page out of the Tetris Effect playbook—hypnotic visuals paired with a soundtrack that demands you move.

    For those on Quest and Pico, you can customise your library with the Power Pack bundle ($6.99) or individual genre-focused DLCs like Energy, Recall, and Dubstep for $2.99 each.

    Big Updates for PS VR2 Veterans

    If you’ve already been playing on the PS VR2, you aren’t being left behind. Parallel Circles just released a major free content update that adds 15 new tracks and two brand-new gameplay modes to test your agility. They’ve also overhauled the hit detection to make those split-second counters feel even more satisfying.

    Why It’s Worth Your Time

    With a total of 45 tracks and over 90 levels (including those notoriously difficult B-sides), Beat the Beats offers plenty of depth for competitive players aiming for the top of the global leaderboards. If you’re a Quest 3 owner, you’ll be pleased to know the game supports a buttery-smooth 120 FPS mode, making those fast-paced tracks feel incredibly responsive.

    Ready to step into the ring? You can find the free demo on Steam and the Meta Quest Store right now to get a head start before the full launch on April 2.

  • Sweet Revenge: Crêpe Master! Flips onto Meta Quest 3 this May

    Sweet Revenge: Crêpe Master! Flips onto Meta Quest 3 this May

    Get your spatulas ready, because the most delicious battle in virtual reality is about to begin. Hallucinations Studio has officially announced that their vibrant “magical girl” brawler, Crêpe Master!, is launching on Meta Quest 3 and 3S on May 7, 2026.

    Revealed during the Spring 2026 VR Games Showcase, this indie gem from the Lyon-based developer mixes high-energy combat with the delicate art of French pastry. If you’ve ever wanted to save the world while maintaining a perfect golden-brown crust, this is the game for you.

    The Story: A Recipe for Chaos

    In Crêpe Master!, you step into the shoes of Hana, a seemingly ordinary girl who discovers she is the reincarnation of the Crêpe Goddess.

    The stakes couldn’t be higher: a ruthless tyrant has launched an alien invasion with one goal—to wipe crêpes off the face of the Earth forever. To defend France’s favourite treat and the world at large, Hana must wield the Sacred Pan and tap into “sweet, sweet magic” to batter the invaders into submission.

    Gameplay Features

    This isn’t just a cooking simulator; it’s a full-blown arcade beat ’em up designed specifically for the Quest’s motion controls. Here’s what to expect:

    Sacred Pan Combat: Use your trusty pan to smash through waves of enemies and reclaim stolen ingredients.

    Magical Girl Poses: Literally “strike a pose” using gesture-based controls to summon powerful spells and abilities.

    The Lightning Round: Enter a high-speed cooking mini-game to flip crêpes and power up your magic mid-battle.

    Vibrant Visuals: A colourful, anime-inspired world that takes full advantage of the Quest 3’s processing power.

    Why We’re Excited

    It’s rare to see a VR title that successfully blends the “Magical Girl” aesthetic with a satisfying brawler mechanic. By combining gesture-based spellcasting with physical melee combat, Crêpe Master! Looks to offer a refreshing (and calorie-free) workout for Quest owners.

    Crêpe Master! is available to wishlist now on the Meta Horizon Store ahead of its May 7 release.

  • Vortex 9 VR Is Live on Meta Store: The 10M-Strong Shooter Jumps Into VR

    Vortex 9 VR Is Live on Meta Store: The 10M-Strong Shooter Jumps Into VR

    The wait is over for fans of stylised chaos. As of February 26, 2026, the hit multiplayer shooter Vortex 9 has officially made its debut on the Meta Horizon Store.

    Whether you’re a long-time veteran from the mobile and PC versions or a VR newcomer looking for something more vibrant than your average military sim, Vortex 9 VR brings a fresh, neon-soaked energy to the Quest platform.

    From Flat Screen to Full Immersion

    Vortex 9 has already amassed a staggering 10 million installs across mobile and desktop. Its jump to VR isn’t just a simple port; developer iWorlds has spent the last several months—including a standout performance during the Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition—retooling the experience for a headset.

    The biggest game-changer? Perspective. While the original game is a third-person shooter (TPS), the VR version introduces a VR-first FPS mode. Don’t worry if you prefer the classic look, though—the game features a toggle that allows you to switch between FPS and TPS modes on the fly.

    Key Features at Launch

    Vortex 9 VR keeps the core “wacky” DNA of the original while adding the physical thrill of motion-controlled combat:

    Diverse Roster: Choose from eight distinct characters, including the suave Marvin McSpy, the robotic Mercydroid, and the fan-favourite Hellen D. Mon.

    The “Crazy” Arsenal: Forget standard rifles. Battle with everything from space miniguns to combat lollipops.

    Battle Pets: Because why wouldn’t you want a cute, customised companion fighting by your side in a digital warzone?

    Game Modes: Jump into classic Team Battles, Solo Deathmatches, or Capture Point across a variety of colourful, high-performance maps optimised for Quest hardware.

    Full Cross-Play Support

    One of the most impressive feats of this release is the unified ecosystem. VR players aren’t cordoned off in their own corner; the game supports full cross-play with mobile and PC users.

    “VR players can join the same matches, use the same weapons and pets, and experience Vortex 9 in a fully immersive way while remaining part of the unified ecosystem.” — iWorlds

    Price and Availability

    Best of all, Vortex 9 VR is Free-to-Play. You can head over to the Meta Store right now and download it for your Meta Quest 2, 3, or Pro.

    If you’re looking for a shooter that prioritises fun, personality, and fast-paced matches over gritty realism, Vortex 9 is likely to be your new favourite VR hangout.

    Divine Intervention: Play the How to God Demo at Steam Next Fest!

    The heavens have opened, and the wait is finally over. Steam Next Fest February 2026 is officially live, and with it comes the highly anticipated PC VR demo for How to God.

    Developed by the innovative team at Thoughtfish GmbH, How to God is a VR deity simulator that moves beyond simple city-building, giving you tactile, immersive control over a living, breathing world. Whether you want to be a nurturing guardian or a chaotic force of nature, the power is literally in your hands.

    What’s in the Demo?

    The Steam Next Fest demo gives you a generous first taste of divine life. You’ll step into the shoes of a novice deity and begin your journey through:

    • Civilisation Shaping: Construct everything from humble huts to grand temples. Your followers react to your every move—they’ll pray, build, or even strike depending on how you lead.
    • Creature Training: You aren’t alone. You’ll raise a unique, powerful creature that evolves based on your guidance. Reward it with treats or discipline it when it wanders off; its personality is a reflection of your own.
    • Elemental Alchemy: Mix materials like fire, water, and (yes) even villagers to discover new spells and resources.
    • Epic Quests: Follow branching storylines and face off against rival gods who dare to challenge your authority.

    Why You Should Play It Now

    Steam Next Fest is a limited-time celebration. You have from February 23 until March 2, 2026, to experience this demo before it vanishes back into the ether.

    “In How to God, you don’t just command the world—you lift it, shake it, pet it, and punish it. It’s the most tactile god game ever made for VR.”

    How to Get Started

    1. Head to Steam: Visit the How to God Steam Store Page.
    2. Download the Demo: Click the “Download Demo” button on the right-hand sidebar.
    3. Put on your Headset: Ensure your VR equipment is ready to go (PC VR/SteamVR compatible).
