I'm looking to speak with VR devs/publishers (anonymously or otherwise) for an in-depth view about the current state of the Quest/Horizon Store; we'd like to get a better idea of how things are looking for studios in 2025. If you're interested, my email is hstockdale [at] uploadvr [dot] com.

Augmented Empire, @coatsink.com’s turn-based tactical RPG, didn’t get much exposure despite being a banger of a mixed reality game. A blast from the past as it also made its way to Gear VR and Oculus Go back in the day.

🚨 VR SHARE THREAD. Share a VR game/app you love (that is not your own) that you think everyone should know about! RT to spread the love.

What if mixed reality games could be scaled to fit however much free space you have? We recently finished an update for Toybox Rebellion so that you can change the scale of everything in the game, making it possible to play a full game on a table if so desired #AR

We're running an exceptionally good Black Friday coupon deal over at XREAL Games - both of our hit VR shooters can be snagged for super cheap on Meta Quest.

I highly recommend giving Squingle a try! It ticks all the hypercasual boxes for me - easy to get into, super creative puzzles (but not too challenging), perfect for short sessions, and visually appealing. Super chill game. www.meta.com/experiences/...

Meta seems to prioritize user retention over organic spending in the Quest store—or so it seems. After each purchase, a pop-up aggressively pushes Quest+. While it provides enough games to keep players busy for months, it may also foster unfavorable spending habits.

Twitter has become too much of a hellscape so I’m trying Bluesky again. XR NETWORKING THREAD 🚨 If you’re in the industry and want to connect with new people coming in (or vice versa), drop a line here to introduce yourself so people can follow you. RT to spread this list around!

The thing about integrating XR tech into your cardio routine is that it makes workouts more enjoyable by immersing you in a virtual environment. This added fun helps the average person seeking a healthier lifestyle sustain cardio sessions and turn them into a lasting habit.

1h10min XR workout, 400 calories burned. • 30 min warmup in Beat Saber online • 20 min of intense Pistol Whip • 15 min of maximum intensity in BODYCOMBAT Not as effective as running or cycling, but I didn't have to leave my living room, which makes XR fitness a super viable option for everyone 💪

Here’s a thought: VR fitness doesn’t just train your body, it’s a mental health boost too. Studies show VR workouts can lower stress and anxiety. Sweat it out while escaping reality? Sounds like a win to me. 💪

Zuck's  Vision Pro video is a PR disaster. 1. You don't openly call brand supporters 'fanboys'. I mean, yeah, the term itself is widely accepted and used to mock brand zealots, but as the CEO and face of a competitor brand, you just.. don't do that publicly. You don't. Fuel to the fire.
