Resolution Games has one of the biggest back catalogues of any virtual reality (VR) developer, having released Blaston, Acron: Attack of the Squirrels, Bait!, Angry Birds VR, and most recently Demeo. Helping strengthen its position within the industry, today, Resolution Games has announced the successful closing of a $25 million USD Series C funding round.
Co-led by Qualcomm Ventures LLC and BITKRAFT Ventures, the round also saw Knutsson Holdings AB, GV, MizMaa, GP Bullhound, Partech, Creandum, Initial Capital, Bonnier Ventures and Sisu Game Ventures all participate. This now brings Resolutions Games’ total funding to $38.5 million. The announcement also sees Boaz Peer, Senior Investment Director, Qualcomm Ventures Europe and Israel at Qualcomm Israel Ltd., joining the board of directors, and Malte Barth of BITKRAFT Ventures, becoming a board observer.
Resolution Games plans on using the funds to continue its push into live VR videogames, scaling its business and teams to build new titles. The studio will also continue to support its existing roster of videogames, dedicating more resources to this endeavour. Most recently, Resolutions Games released the Realm of the Rat King expansion for turn-based dungeon crawler Demeo. The title has become a massive hit surpassing the multi-million dollar mark in revenue.
“Six years ago, Resolution Games was one of the first studios focused on VR and AR. We’ve learned a lot, worked in a time with limited technology, survived a small market, and have continued to think big-picture and long-term,” said Tommy Palm, CEO of Resolution Games in a statement. “We see vast potential in VR and that the market is maturing. We want to up the game and standard for quality to ensure VR users have the best possible experience, and that VR games not just meet – but surpass – the potential from what we’ve seen on other platforms like PC and console.”
“The VR market is growing at an accelerated pace, and we expect this trend to continue in the next few years,” said Peer. “Resolution Games has demonstrated it can create world-class IP, compelling immersive experiences and has shown great leadership across the market. We are excited to invest in Resolution Games to support the growth of superior mobile VR and AR experiences.”
Resolution Games currently has 14 videogames currently on the market for VR and augmented reality (AR) devices and as that roster continues to grow, VRFocus will keep you updated.
In the chart above, Resolution Games is demonstrating the massive influx in sales relative to how sales have been going the last few years. The vertical axis of the chart is blank so we don’t know how much these games are making, but it still shows a clear and enormous influx of new sales for all of their games. And in the case of Bait!, a free-to-download fishing game with microtransactions, Resolution Games says it has been downloaded 4 million times across all platforms now.
Since most of the titles in Resolution Games’ catalogue aren’t newly released the biggest takeaway from a chart like this is simply that a lot of people bought the Oculus Quest 2.
“At Resolution Games, we are seeing our titles reach significant revenue milestones more quickly than ever before, and I can confidently say that current headsets are contributing to it,” says Tommy Palm, CEO of Resolution Games. “The onus is now on the developers to continue to develop the type of content that more mainstream gamers are used to in order for VR to attract the broader audience that it deserves, which is what we strive for at Resolution Games.”
We’ve reached out to Resolution to try and get a number with regard to sales or revenue for their paid titles and we’ll update this story if we hear back.

Not ready to plonk down your first $100 on Quest 2 games? Thankfully there’s an impressive number of free games, experiences, apps, and social VR platforms to keep you playing before you’re paying.
We have however included App Lab games. If you want to see more, SideQuest’s search function is a great resource for finding free stuff and demos. Below you’ll find some of the top App Lab games in addition to those hosted on the official store.
Free Games
Population: One
Population: One is basically VR’s most successful battle royale, letting you climb, fly, shoot, and team-up with whoever dares. Once paid, the free-to-play game does feature microtransactions, but only for cosmetics, which is nice. It’s still a paid on game on Steam though, which makes sense considering developers BixBox VR were acquired by Meta. There is more than just battle royale though: you can play in the sandbox for custom maps and rules, team deathmatch with customizable loadouts, a 12v12 war mode, and more.
Once a paid game, this room-scale shooter is now free-to-play, letting you take on friends, family and foes in head-to-head 1v1 dueling. Refine your loadout and jump into the action as you scramble for weapons and send a volley of hellfire at your enemies, all the while Matrix dodging through this innovative bullet hell meets futuristic dueling game. Spend money on cosmetics, or don’t: it’s a massive slice of fun any which way.
There aren’t a ton of free-to-play shooters out there that promise multiplayer action, however Gun Raiders fits the bill with its multiple game modes that let you jetpack through the air, climbing from wall to wall, and shoot down the competition. There’s the same sort of microtransactions you see in bigger games, but it they’re all avatar skin stuff, so no pay-to-win here.
Hyper Dash is a multiplayer shooter that basically fills in where Echo Combat never could (never mind that Echo Combat was never on Quest, and is now entirely defunct on Oculus PC). Letting you quick dash, sprint, and rail grind around, Hyper Dash manages to serve up an impressive number of modes, including Payload, Domination, Control Point, (Team) Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, and Elimination. You can also take on both Quest and SteamVR users thanks to the inclusion of cross-play.
Ultimechs should look pretty familiar: it’s basically Rocket League, but instead of driving around in cars, you’re given rocket-powered fists to punch balls into the goal. Online multiplayer includes both 1v1 and 2v2 matches, offering up tons of opportunities to earn cosmetic gear that will let you outfit your battle mech into something unique. There are also now two paid battle passes too, offering up a ton of cosmetics to set you apart from the competition.
Battle Talent is one of those fighting sims that let you go ham on ragdoll baddies, which in this case are wily goblins and loads of skelingtons. This physics-based roguelite action game lets you climb, run and slide your way through levels as you slash, shoot, and wield magic against your foes.
Cards & Tankards is a pretty addictive social collectible card game, letting you collect and battle friends with over 180 cards. With cross-play against SteamVR headsets (also free on PC), you may consider hosting your regular game night playing more than a few rounds in the game’s characteristic medieval fantasy tavern.
Ever wanted to play Counter-Strike on Quest? Pavlov Shack offers up a pretty comparable experience, as you play in either deathmatch or co-op mode. It’s got all of the realistic gunplay and much of the fun of the paid PC VR title, but it’s still going strong with a free open beta on Quest.
Still in open beta, this 4v4 arena-scale shooter requires space and Quest 2 (or Quest Pro) owning buddies—both of which you may not have. Still, it makes for an incredible time that is basically the best version of laser tag you’ve ever played. You’ll need SideQuest to download this one since it disables Quest’s guardian system, but it’s well worth jumping through the hoops to get working if you have everything else.
This humble game of tag started out life on SideQuest and App Lab, offering up an infectious bit of gameplay that’s now available for free on the official Quest Store. You’ll be lumbering around a tree-lined arena using its unique grab-the-world locomotion style that lets you amble around like a great ape. Chase the other apes and infect them or climb for your life as the infected chase you. Pure and simple. Make sure you’re far from TVs, furniture, babies, and pets because you will punch something in the mad dash for sweet, low-poly freedom.
No real cash gambling here, but PokerStars VR not only let you go all-in on games of Texas Hold’em, but now a full casino’s worth of table games a machines that are sure to light up the dopamine starved pleasure centers of your brain. It’s all free play, so you won’t be risking real cash unless you buy in-game chips, which cannot be turned back into real money: it’s only to keep your bankroll flush for free play.
Gym Class – Basketball is the solution if you’re looking to shoot some hoops and dunk like you probably can’t on a physical court. Online multiplayer lets you go head-to-head for a pretty convincing game of b-ball thanks to the game’s physics-based and full-body kinematics.
This plucky roguelite dungeon crawler is still in beta (still!), but there’s a reason it’s become an App Lab favorite. Explore a vast dungeon to explore, housing plenty of baddies just asking for the steel of your sword, knives, and arrows. You’ll climb over deep pits, dodge lethal traps, and search for hidden treasures. Smash all the pots and crates you can before it officially launches on Quest sometime in the near future.
Would-be wizards, this is your time to shine. Explore a magical laboratory and take on the job of apprentice wizard. The lab is full of gadgets and magical stuff to mess around with; as one of the games that natively supports Quest’s hand tracking, you can put your controllers down and get experimenting with this little slice of the dark arts.
Since the recent Fishin’ Buddies update, this classic VR title has gotten a whole new lease on life as a multiplayer VR fishing game that lets you sit back and crack a cold one with the boys as you reel in the big’uns. The additional social areas also let you sit back between your fishing adventures to take part in casual mini-games.
Gods of Gravity is an arcade-style RTS game where you compete in an epic showdown of between celestial gods (2-8 players). Scoop up ships and fling them to capture a nearby planet, or open wormholes to teleport them across the solar system. Hold planets and moons to boost your production. Mine asteroids for the powerful resources within. And if you dare, capture the sun for the ultimate buff. Then send a massive fleet to conquer your enemy’s home planet. Last god standing wins.
Without a doubt one of the most fun, and most expansive VR titles out there… and it’s free. Sure, you can pay real cash for in-game tokens to buy spiffy clothes for your avatar, but that’s really up to you. Gads of mini-games await you in both first-party creations such as the ever so popular co-op Quests—that could be games in their own right—to user-created stuff that will keep your pocket book gathering dust. It’s social VR, so meet people and have a ball for zero dollarydoos. Fair warning: there’s a ton of kids.
If you’ve been anywhere near the Internet in the last few years, it’s likely you’ve already heard about VRChat, the user-generated social VR space filled with… well… everything you can imagine, re-pro games included like Among Us, Mario Kart, and even a version of Beat Saber. Fashion your own avatar or download the millions of user-generated avatars out there so you can embody SpongeBob, Kirito from Sword Art Online, or any one of the million anime girl avatars that you’re bound to see there.
Horizon Worlds is still taking baby steps, although recent efforts have brought more tools and user-generated content to the platform which has rounded out things to make it more competitive with Rec Room and VRChat. You may want to check in just to see the state of Meta’s first-party VR social platform—and then check right out again—but at the price of ‘free’, you may just find an environment or community you really gel with, which is the whole reason behind social VR in the first place.
Virtual reality (VR) is an awesome entertainment medium which has dramatically improved over the last few years. While the original entry point wasn’t exactly cheap or necessarily practical for a lot of people the launch of Oculus Quest has opened up the technology to a much wider user base. Its portability, inside-out tracking and 6DoF controllers allow for instantly immersive gameplay, but for those fresh to VR choosing the right experience can mean the difference between a lifelong passion or instant nausea and dislike. Which is why VRFocus has chosen the following selection to start newbies off.
The important variables to consider are whether the title offers enough of that VR spark without causing any discomfort. So that pretty much means no locomotion to begin with or maybe some light teleportation, coupled with lots of interactive elements. Below are ten videogames which not only fit the bill but also happen to be some of VRFocus’ favourites.
Pinball FX2 VR
Released only a few short weeks ago, Zen Studios’ Pinball FX2 VR offers a beautiful mix of graphics, gameplay and an easy difficulty curve when it comes to controls. With highly detailed tables that you can peer into and explore their complex mechanisms, the simple gameplay is highly addictive with that old-fashioned highscore goal great to challenge friends with. Given a full five-star rating in VRFocus’original review, Pinball FX2 VR retails on Oculus Store for £10.99 GBP.
Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs
Rovio Entertainment’s classic mobile title got a revamp this year by Resolution Games, Creating Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigsin the process. Featuring over 50 levels, the experience allows you to teleport around the 3D buildings to fixed locations to unleash those destructive birds. Another simple yet very engaging videogame Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs can be found on Oculus Store for £10.99.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodesby Steel Crate Games was one of the earliest examples of local social VR multiplayer, highlighting the fact that VR doesn’t have to be a solitary experience. The VR player has to diffuse a bomb, unfortunately, they have no idea how to as each bomb is made up of different modules that have to be solved individually. To do this all the non-VR players have a bomb manual and must guide the person in VR to the correct solution. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes can be found on Oculus Store for £10.99.
Racket: Nx
Racket: Nx takes the classic contained sport of squash and gives it a futuristic twist. Players find themselves inside a giant dome with hexagonal wall panels which light up according to the mode and difficulty. Great for those who wish to extert some energy without the worry of nausea thanks to staying on the spot, Racket: Nx can be found on Oculus Store for £14.99.
Electronauts
Developed by VR powerhouse Survios, Electronauts allows you to unleash your inner musician even if you’re tone-deaf. With two sticks in hand like a composer, the title gives players a massive array of sound-altering options to choose from. Record loops, sequences, layer filters and more (there are even musical grenades), to twist and distort a variety of songs across genres such as EDM, hip hop and dubstep. Achieving a five-star review, Electronauts can be found on Oculus Store for £14.99.
Bait!
Another Resolution Games title, this was the studio’s first big success. A casual fishing videogame with a basic storyline to keep you catching fish, there are a selection of lakes each with their own particular fish to hook. What makes Bait! an instant purchase on Oculus Store is the fact it’s free.
Space Pirate Trainer
Originally released for PC VR headsets back in 2016, Space Pirate Trainerthe only first-person shooter (FPS) on this list offering a range of modes and gameplay options. With a selection of weapon loadouts from shotguns to lazer beams, the title is another one to get you moving dodging energy bolts from the flying robot enemies. For those that like shooting stuff Space Pirate Trainer can be found on Oculus Store for £10.99.
Moss
The most expensive title on VRFocus’ list, Polyarc’s Moss is a single-player, third-person puzzle adventure involving pint-sized heroine Quill. A great evil once befell her land and so all the mice now live deep in the forest, hidden away from danger. Of course, the situation arises where Quill finds herself chosen to go on a quest to help save her family and everyone else. You play a benevolent being that not only controls Quill and her actions but the environment as well. This adorable little puzzle solvercan be found on Oculus Store for £22.99.
Beat Saber
One of the most popular VR videogames of the moment, Beat Saber is a rhythm action title where you slice cubes with light sabers. Fast, frantic and great for burning a few calories is one of those videogames where you instantly have to have ‘one more go’ to either try a new song, to beat your previous score or challenge yourself to a higher difficulty level. Another title which has received a five-star reviewBeat Saber can be found on Oculus Store for £22.99.
Acron: Attack of the Squirrels
The newest videogame on this list, Acron: Attack of the Squirrelsis a purely multiplayer experience, great for when friends and family are round. The VR player takes the role of a tree trying to protect its acorns from hungry squirrels. Up to eight players can then join in on mobile devices trying to steal those acorns and get them back to base. A really fun and exciting local gameplay experience where you can swap between VR and mobile, Acron: Attack of the Squirrels can be found on Oculus Store for £14.99 (the iOS and Android part is free to download from their stores).
Update: After publication we also added PokerStars VR to this list.
Just forked over $399 for an Oculus Quest? Congratulations! You’re ready to jump into a bunch of amazing VR experiences. But, unless you’ve already bought a lot of these on Rift with cross-buy support, you’re probably about to shell out even more for a bunch of games and apps.
We might be able to help you with that.
True, most of Quest’s more robust content has a price attached to it. But there are a few worthwhile apps that don’t require you to get your wallet out. Let’s run down those for you.
Resolution Games’ VR fishing game first proved popular on Gear VR and has since amassed more than two million players around the world. The Quest version is the first to bring six degrees of freedom (6DOF) tracking to the game, making the hours of content more immersive than ever. Note that there are in-app purchases, though this is mainly for buying equipment that you can also get with in-game currency.
You’re likely already familiar with First Steps; it’s the VR showcase you first experience when you boot up Quest. It’s a great way to show Quest’s 6DOF tracking and the power of VR. But you can also get First Contact. This was essentially the original Oculus Rift’s answer to First Steps, with its own array of minigames to try out. Neither will take you very long to see through, but both are great for introducing others to VR.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a virtual alien (who hasn’t?) then Bogo is for you. It’s like a Tamagotchi come to life, letting you feed and play with an adorable little critter. Again, this was a demo first intended to showcase the power of Quest to those that hadn’t yet tried it. It might be small, but it’s still worth checking out, especially if you want to introduce any kids to the magic of VR.
Even if you don’t like Poker, PokerStars VR is a fun social experience to sit around and hang out with people. It uses your Oculus Avatar as your character and the interactions are excellent. The Touch controller support is very appreciated and does a great job of affording interactivity. Plus, if you do like Poker, then it will likely end up being one of your go-to apps to unwind at the end of a day.
You could just as easily file Rec Room under games and experiences, but it’s a social VR platform first and foremost. In fact, it’s probably the best place to meet with friends online. A massive array of games awaits you here, from dodgeball to coop questing. Better yet, you can create your own games and rooms to show your friends. Extensive cross-play support also means you can join friends on PC and PSVR.
VR Chat is probably one of VR’s best-known apps, giving players a huge degree of autonomy. Again, it’s a space to hang out and catch up with friends, but extensive avatar support allows you to embody anyone from Bart Simpson to Batman.
BigScreen is unique among social VR apps in that it’s centered around flatscreen content. Crucially, you can project this content onto a giant screen and share it with your friends. It’s a great way to, say, watch a movie with people across the globe, or give online gaming sessions a local multiplayer vibe. Different events keep giving you a reason to come back, too.
Over the past few years there’s been a huge influx of 360 video content. It might not be ‘true’ VR, but lots of it can be compelling. There’s no place better to try the format out for yourself than YouTube. With the largest collection of free 360 degree content, you can spend hours getting lost in other locations here.
The Oculus Quest launch lineup countdown continues with five new titles confirmed for a day one release – a date which is still currently unknown – offering both intense action and tranquil gaming pleasure.
The big news is that Drool’s fast-paced rhythm action title Thumper is coming to the headset. Thumper is a little unusual in the genre as you control a beetle hurtling down a cosmic track bombarded by musical obstacles that can be overcome with rhythm-obeying commands. Players can glide around corners and bash into the sides to stay alive, trying to survive until the end, which also includes mini-bosses to deal with.
“When we first starting prototyping Thumper way back in 2009, gaming VR was just a sci-fi fantasy,” explains Drool designer Marc Flury on the Oculus Blog. “We didn’t realize our psychedelic space beetle experience would feel so perfect in VR. With a fully standalone device like Oculus Quest, the dream feels complete. Now anyone can experience Thumper in VR with no fuss and no compromise.”
The reason Thumper was the big news is that the other four videogames: Rush, Fruit Ninja, Bait! and Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs, were previously mentioned when Oculus released its first countdown trailer at the end of March. There was a flurry of images displayed at the end which include the aforementioned titles. Now at least they have been officially confirmed as launch day experiences.
Each is a big videogame in its own right, with Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs and Bait! both by Resolution Games. Bait! was one of the studios’ earliest titles and a big success, allowing players to catch fish in tranquil surroundings. Angry Birds VR is its most release, launch ed back in February in collaboration with Rovio Entertainment.
Rush and Fruit Ninja are two smaller titles but still offer their own unique gameplay experiences. The latter is a great pick up and play videogame, especially suitable for new VR players. While the former is a bit more extreme, wingsuit flying through canyons and sheer drops as you race towards the finish line.
Im Zuge des anstehenden Marktstarts der Oculus Quest, veröffentlicht Oculus unter dem #QuestCountdown wöchentlich weitere Launchtitel, die beim Release der autarken VR-Brille spielbar sein werden. Nach den Singleplayer-Abenteuern Shadow Point, Robo Recallund The Exorcist: Legion VR stehen diese Woche Arcade- und Gelegenheitsspiele im Mittelpunkt. So ziehen die Titel Thumper, Fruit Ninja VR, Bait! und Rush zukünftig in die Spielbibliotheken ein.
Oculus Quest: #QuestCountdown – Thumper, Fruit Ninja VR, Angry Birds VR, Bait! und Rush als Launchtitel bestätigt
Die Oculus Quest dürfte sich dank der einfachen Nutzung optimal für einen schnellen Ausflug in die virtuelle Welt eignen, um kurz vom Alltagsstress abzuschalten. Und was eignet sich dafür besser als ein paar simple Gelegenheitsspiele? Unter diesem Motto stehen die neu angekündigten Day-One-Veröffentlichungen für die autarke VR-Brille.
Thumper
In Thumperübernehmen die Spieler die Kontrolle eines Hochgeschwindigkeitskäfers, der durch eine psychedelische Rennstrecke rast. Schnelle Reaktionen und Rhythmusgefühl sind dabei mehr als erforderlich, um erfolgreiche die Passagen zu absolvieren. Marc Flury, Designer von Entwicklerstudio Drool, spricht enthusiastisch über den kommenden Release:
“Als wir 2009 mit den ersten Prototypen von Thumper angefangen haben, war VR-Gaming noch eine Sci-Fi-Fantasie. Wir wussten damals nicht, dass sich unser psychedelisches Space-Käfererlebnis so perfekt in VR anfühlen würde. Mit einem autarken Gerät, wie der Oculus Quest, fühlt sich dieser Traum nun vervollständigt an. Jetzt kann jeder ohne großen Aufwand, und ohne Kompromisse Thumper in VR erleben.”
Paul Brady, Co-Gründer und CCO von Resolution Games, verspricht ein völlig neues Spielgefühl in der kommenden Quest-Umsetzung:
“Dank VR können die Spieler zum ersten Mal ein richtiger Teil des Spiels werden und das Gameplay wie nie zuvor mit einem einzigartigen Immersions- und Präsenzgefühl erleben. Klassiker können mit innovativen Spielideen neu erfunden werden, damit Fans ihre geliebten IPs neu erleben können mit völlig anderem Gameplay und Mechaniken. Es ist eine aufregende Zeit, und wir sind sehr froh darüber, ein Teil davon zu sein!”
Bait! für Oculus Quest | Image courtesy: Oculus | Resolution Games
Ebenso bestätigt wurde nun der bisherige Mobile-Titel Bait!, welcher euch auf eine entspannte Angeltour auf der Suche nach einem legendären Fisch schickt. Innerhalb der Quest-Adaption wird es erstmals möglich, das Gameplay mit zwei Controllern und Bewegungserfassung in sechs DoF zu erleben. Dadurch entsteht eine immersivere Steuerung, indem die virtuelle Angelrute völlig neu umgesetzt wird. So wird der Köder geworfen, die Schnur per Angelrolle händisch eingezogen und der Fang daraufhin an Land geholt.
Fruit Ninja VR
Ein weiterer actionreicher Gelegenheitstitel ist Fruit Ninja VR, welcher euch erlaubt, mit zwei Katanas anfliegende Früchte zu zersäbeln. Das klassische Gameplay wird dank der uneingeschränkten Spielmöglichkeit der Quest zu einem spaßigen Spielerlebnis für überall, wie die verantwortlichen Devs versprechen:
“Actiongeladene Obstverstümmelungen, gepaart mit dem natürlichen Pick-Up-and-Play-Erlebnis von Fruit Ninja, erlaubt einen nahtlosen Übergang vom jeweiligen Bezirk direkt zum Dojo – ganz egal, wo man sich gerade befindet.”
Rush
Rush | via: Oculus Blog
Als Letztes in der Reihe wird die Wingsuit-Simulation Rush VR angekündigt, die euch in rasanten Geschwindigkeiten durch die Lüfte gleiten lässt. In verschiedenen Strecken stellt ihr euch darin in einem Wettkampf gegen die Zeit oder tretet gegen andere Kontrahenten an.
Ingmar Lak, Director von Binary Mill, hebt die neuen Möglichkeiten der autarken Quest-Brille bei der Umsetzung hervor:
“Dank des Ganzkörper-Avatarsystems von RUSH werden die Vorteile der Standalone-VR sofort spürbar, mit einem einzigartigen Gefühl von Freiheit, wie es bisher nicht möglich war. Ob man nun vor einem Sprung über den Rand einer Klippe schaut oder die verschiedenen Umgebungen innerhalb des Spiels erkundet, den Spielern wird ermöglicht, die gesamte Spielfläche zu nutzen, um das bestmögliche Spielerlebnis von RUSH zu schaffen.”
Casual VR titles Angry Birds VR, Fruit Ninja, RUSH And Bait! are coming to the upcoming Oculus Quest $399 standalone headset.
These four accessible titles could be perfect for demoing your Quest or just short play sessions:
Angry Birds VR
The popular mobile game franchise Angry Birds came to PC VR as recently as February. In late March it came to PlayStation VR.
We went hands on with the game on PC VR and were impressed by how much the spatial nature of VR adds to the gameplay. We noted at the time that the game would be perfect for the wireless Quest.
Resolution Games has enabled cross-buy, so if you own the game on the Rift store you already own it on Quest.
Fruit Ninja VR
Fruit Ninja VR [8/10] is another smartphone franchise brought to VR. It released back in summer 2016 for the HTC Vive, and was a launch title for Oculus Touch. Like in the smartphone game you slice incoming fruit with a variety of blades to score points.
There’s no word yet on whether cross-buy is enabled for this game, but we’ll update this article when there is.
RUSH
RUSH is an exhilarating yet accessible game where you fly off the side of a mountain in a wingsuit. You soar points by flying through hoops. It even supports multiplayer, so you can challenge friends online.
There’s no word yet on whether cross-buy is enabled for this game, but we’ll update this article when there is.
Bait!
Although you might not have heard of it, Bait! is actually one of the most popular VR games ever made. The free to play fishing game had over 2 million downloads as early as 2017.
It’s currently only available on mobile VR platforms, so Quest will be the first time it’s playable with positional tracked controllers. The developer says this allows players “to cast and spin the reel, grab fish from the hook, and have full head movement.”
Nach Fast Travel Games (bekannt für Apex Construct) bekennt sich nun ein weiteres Entwicklerstudio zur Arbeit an VR-Titeln für die kommende Oculus Quest. Resolution Games verkündete per Twitter die Entwicklung mehrerer VR-Spiele für die neue Plattform. Der Tweet wurde mittlerweile allerdings gelöscht.
Oculus Quest – Resolution Games kündigt Entwicklung mehrerer VR-Titel an
Per Twitter verkündeten die Entwickler nun die Arbeit an mehreren VR-Spielen für die Oculus Quest. So tweeten die Devs:
“In letzter Zeit war es etwas still um uns. Das hat einen Grund, denn wir arbeiten derzeit hart an der Entwicklung einiger Spiele für die Oculus Quest. Wir können kaum darauf warten, sie euch vorzustellen. Bleibt gespannt!”
Einige Stunden später wurde der offizielle Post jedoch wieder gelöscht.
Um welche VR-Titel es sich dabei handelt, ist bisher unbekannt. Eine Portierung des kürzlich veröffentlichten Angry Birds VR ist naheliegend. Ob es sich bei den weiteren Ankündigungen um Ports oder sogar neue Spiele handelt, bleibt zunächst abzuwarten.
Spätestens auf der GDC 2019 im März erhalten wir Gewissheit über die Spiele. Zahlreiche Studios und Oculus selbst stellen vor Ort diverse Showcases aus und kündigen bereits einige Überraschungen an. Zum Release der Oculus Quest sollen zeitgleich 50 VR-Titel erscheinen.
