XR Games, known for titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded and Starship Troopers Continuum, both released in 2024, is stepping into the rhythm game genre with something fresh for Quest users. BEATABLE, their latest creation, turns any table into a musical playground through innovative hand-tracking technology.
Integrating your real-world environment with a virtual one usually offers a pretty immersive experience on its own, as it allows for a tangible connection with the world you are engaging with. BEATABLE takes this concept to the next level. Imagine using your own table as a surface to drum, snap, and clap along to your favorite tunes without needing any controllers—just your hands. Such real-world haptics bring a dimension to rhythm games that traditional controller-based options simply can’t match.
In BEATABLE, there’s no need for controllers. It’s all about hand-tracking, and getting that synchronized with the game is crucial for hitting every beat spot-on. The developers at XR Games promise fast and accurate hand-tracking calibration to ensure a smooth, responsive experience.
Adding to the game’s development is the expertise of Naysy, a well-known figure in the VR rhythm game community on YouTube. Naysy is not just a consultant for XR Games but also appears in the game’s promotional material. “It’s been a while since a rhythm game hooked me like this,” Naysy shares enthusiastically. “I’ve always been a fan of VR rhythm games, and BEATABLE brings a fresh twist. The hand-tracking combined with physical interaction creates an incredibly fun, immersive experience. I’m so excited for others to dive into it.”
Mark your calendars! BEATABLE is set to release in early access on April 10th for Quest 2 and newer models. You can already pre-order it with a tempting 10% discount, bringing the price to just $9.
