First Person Tennis Coming To Quest Store Next Month

First Person Tennis, a tennis simulator, is coming to the Oculus Store for Meta Quest 2 (formerly Oculus Quest) next month.

While First Person Tennis debuted on App Lab last year it’s now been approved for a full release on Quest and listed as coming soon on the store for a June 2 release. For those with PC VR setups, it’s already available on Steam with support for all major headsets.

On the Quest platform, the game will support both the original headset and Quest 2, with arcade and simulation modes and online multiplayer. There’s multiple locomotion options — teleport, run in place, sliding run — and you’ll be able to play across seven different court surfaces and 13 tournaments, competing on global leaderboards. You can check out some gameplay in the mixed reality trailer embedded above.

First Person Tennis will join an array of sporting games available on the Quest system. That being said, it looks set to be the first fully-fledged tennis simulator — an arcade tennis game is included in Sports Scramble, but the next best things are the myriad of table tennis games. Eleven Table Tennis, one of our favorites, is looking at adding Meta avatars and four-person play, while a new table tennis game called VR Ping Pong Pro released just a few days ago.

First Person Tennis is no longer available on App Lab, but will be available to purchase again starting from June 2 on the Oculus Store. You can wishlist the game now, or check it out on Steam for PC VR, where it’s on sale at 20% off until June 10.

The VR Drop: Hailing The Last Beat

Welcome to another weekly edition of The VR Drop, where gmw3 looks ahead to see what exciting virtual reality (VR) videogames are coming to a headset near you in the coming days. We’ve got a full roster to end the month of May and welcome in June, from brain teasers to energetic rhythm titles.

The Last Taxi – ZenFri Inc.

Take part in a narrative set in a far-flung future where you’re the very last human taxi driver. The usual dystopian nightmare where surveillance, automation and human modification run rife, The Last Taxi is all about picking up fares and being chatty to earn tips and upgrade your ride. However, conversations with your passengers soon reveal the darker side of the city, putting you in the middle of whether to inform the authorities and the repercussions of doing so.

Supported platform(s): Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Valve Index
Launch date: 31st May

The Last Clockwinder – Pontoco

Time for a clone making brain tickler in The Last Clockwinder. Inside an ancient tree, there are valuable plants and seeds to save, only achieved by getting the place in working order. To do so you’ll need to plant seeds to grow and harvest the fruit needed to power the place, and many hands make light work. But as there’s only one of you, you’ll need to carefully clone yourself over and over again, performing tasks that all need to link up like one giant Rube Goldberg machine.

Supported platform(s): Meta Quest 2, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Valve Index
Launch date: 2nd June
