XR Games, known for titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded (2024) and Starship Troopers Continuum (2024), has unveiled their latest creation for the Quest platform—BEATABLE. This innovative rhythm game is set to make waves with its unique twist: transforming any table into a musical instrument through advanced hand-tracking.
The essence of VR lies in its ability to seamlessly blend the virtual with the real, and BEATABLE pushes this boundary by allowing players to engage physically with their surroundings. Imagine tapping, snapping, and clapping to beats on your own table, creating a tactile experience that traditional controller-based games simply can’t offer.
What sets BEATABLE apart is its reliance solely on hand-tracking technology. Forget about controllers—this game is all about using your hands to hit the mark precisely, promising quick and accurate calibration to ensure your movements are perfectly in sync with the rhythm.
Adding a layer of expertise to the development process, XR Games has teamed up with VR YouTuber and rhythm action aficionado, Naysy. Not only has Naysy provided valuable gameplay insights, but they also star in the game’s promotional trailer.
Naysy shares, “I haven’t been hooked on a rhythm game like this in ages. As a huge fan of VR rhythm games, BEATABLE stands out with its fresh take. The blend of physical interaction and hand-tracking feels incredibly natural, and it’s just pure fun. I’m smitten with this game and can’t wait for others to dive in.”
Gamers can look forward to BEATABLE’s early access release on Quest 2 and newer versions, scheduled for April 10th. You can snag a pre-order right now at a 10% discount, making the game available at just $9.
