April 10, 2026

We want to share a bit more context about a recent issue some of you experienced. At first, we couldn’t reproduce the problem internally. Everything was working fine on our side. However, once our studio headsets received the latest Meta OS update, the issue finally showed up on Quest 3, allowing…

5 star game should not be rated below 4

This is a 2d game that is extremely fun, fast gameplay that doesn’t lose its charm in VR. The gameplay, graphics, characters, unique gameplay, and special powers is a blast to play. Multiplayer is chaotic fun, and you can team up to battle another team, or play 1v1, or with ai bots. Meta needs more games like this! There are bugs apparently caused by the last Meta update. Launching a game is hit or miss. I’m assuming the bugs will get resolved which is why I’m giving 5 stars. The game should not be rated below 4 stars, it’s that good!

HeadHunters is Pure Hype! This Game Goes

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but HeadHunters is actually incredibly fun. It’s easily one of the best platform fighters I’ve played recently—just pure, chaotic fun. The Visuals are Super Clean The game actually looks great. Instead of the usual cluttered pixel-mess you see in some indies, the art style really pops and the animations are surprisingly polished. The hit effects are super satisfying. The Body-Swap Mechanic is Top Tier The real standout feature here is the body-swap. It completely changes how you approach a match and keeps the gameplay from getting stale.

Doesn't Work

Doesn't work. Just big circle that blacks out one eye or the other.

Amazing Super Smash Bros Like

Amazing Super Smash Bros.–style game brought into VR. It’s packed with upgrades, great animations, and a wide variety of weapons. The gameplay is genuinely fun and full of humor, and the developers did an excellent job adapting it for the Quest—especially with the large VR screens, which really enhance the experience. My only suggestion would be to slightly improve the resolution sharpness so it’s a bit easier on the eyes during longer sessions.
