Who will I be seeing at #GDC this year?

#GDC2026 #VR #XR

Saw a 12-year-old get his first Xbox yesterday. Helping him set it up, he asked, "What games can I download for it?"

"There's 1000s of games you can download on Xbox!"

"Yeah, but what FREE games?"

This is where the industry is right now. This is why VR devs are struggling.

@xrsource.bsky.social ?

I recently rewatched 'Big'. This does not stand up quite so well.

Happy New Year #XR community!

Whether you've been here for a decade or just got your first headset, XR is a welcoming place for all!

I am officially in holiday mode. It's 9:30am and I've not even booted up my PC yet.

With 2025 wrapping up, it's time to look back and pick 131XR's favourite VR games of 2025 🎉

Already making plans for #GDC 2026. Hoping it'll be a good one for VR!

Who's in?

Haymaker (Early Access) is another. Very early and light on game modes currently, but super intense and very well built fighting mechanics.

Though of course, that's one from our stable, so I won't be featuring it on @131xr.bsky.social or anything any time soon!

Crystal Commanders ranks highly for me. I think it's one of the best VR adaptations of a traditional RTS game I've played, yet it seemed to come-and-go without much fuss.

I have four or five in mind, none of which are on your list here! 😂

What's everyone's most underrated #VR game of 2025? I feel like there were a bunch of true gems that slipped by largely unnoticed.

Some of the strongest campaigns I saw this year focused on just one mechanic. Sometimes drilling down to a single 'this is what makes my game cool' can work.

In case you didn't see on any of the other platforms, @131xr.bsky.social is now an official YouTube partner!

My side-project has legs, and I couldn't be happier with its progress.

I feel like the #VR market is steadier than people think. Yes, free-to-play is dominating right now and not every new release is going to make it to the big time, but there's plenty of devs out there that are finding ways to remain stable.

Tomorrow looks like madness on the #VR game release schedule. I count 11 games currently, and I'm sure there's some I missed.

In more than a decade of working in VR, I don't think I've ever seen a day like this.

Nobody likes VR, Henry.

The Boys: Trigger Warning is getting loads of coverage, which is great to see. But sadly a large part of the commentary from gamers is "shame it's VR".

:/

#Switch2 almost caught up with the Wii U within four months of launch? Oof.

I've been looking into the changes coming at #GDC2026 and, honestly, I'm struggling to see anything different except it being referred to as a 'festival'. What am I missing?

It's great to see the #GalaxyXR getting strong support from devs at launch, but honestly that game line-up was so predictable.

Lots of new VR games are set to arrive this week:

💥Vex Mage - SteamVR
💥Wallace & Gromit in The Grand Getaway - PSVR 2
💥Trenches VR - Meta Quest, PSVR 2 & SteamVR
💥Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate - SteamVR

What's your pick?

Couldn't sleep tonight so got stuck into work.

Not even 4am and it's already been a productive day.

Just got an alert saying that 'rain is expected in 1 hour'.

Looking out my window at the dark and wet garden. I think you're a bit late, buddy.

My timeline seems to be split into two halves this morning:

Apple fans - 'Oh my god this is going to change everything!'

Non-Apple fans - 'Is that it?'

#AppleVisionPro

As we step into the final leg of 2025 there are still plenty of VR games to look forward to.

Here's Tiny Brains' current list of all the games slated for release in Q4 2025.

The #MetaConnect leaks aren't really surprising to me. What is surprising is the amount of negativity towards them that I've been seeing.

To me, AR and VR have always been two sides of the same coin. Eventually they will converge, but right now it's AR's time for growth.

All Meta Quest 3 & 3S owners! We’ve got an exciting opportunity for you to be a part of a new, unannounced game!

This exclusive beta-test event will run from 12th to 13th September, open on a first-come, first-served basis. Fill out this form to apply - forms.gle/eoajXZg7QteC...
