  • 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.

    “Battered, but still unbeaten! Saving the world has never been tastier.” — Hallucinations Studio

    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.
