Walkabout Mini Golfis getting new courses (including a series inspired by villain lairs) and an iOS app that offers crossplay with Quest headsets, city-builder, Little Cities, is getting updated with a level editor, and We Are One seems like a great evolution of VR’s far-too-popular shooter genre.

Meta’s announcements were primarily focused on new releases, but a few notable games that are coming soon or have already been released got some updates.

So with that in mind, Meta is doubling down on the software advantage it already has by lining up blockbuster adaptations, sequels, and a few intriguing new titles, all releasing in the next year. The Quest 3 may be on the way - Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg essentially announced the new headset before the event - but the PSVR 2 is picking up pace, and Apple could soon have a compelling headset of its own to sell later this year. This year’s Meta Quest Gaming Showcase is the third time the company’s made the case for gaming on Quest headsets, and Meta is clearly feeling the competition. A good reason to play as many of them as you can just in case they get taken away.Say what you will about strategy, but one thing Meta’s billions of dollars spent on VR research and development has done is produce a lot of interesting VR games. The game came out on major VR platforms in Winter of 2023. Netflix recently acquired developer Spry Fox, developer behind the Animal Crossing-adjacent Cozy Grove, so it's clear the streaming giant is still interested in expanding into the world of games, even if (as of August) only 1% of its user base is playing its games. Netflix has announced a new Stranger Things VR game where players can play as Vecna. It's unclear if the game is planned to directly tie into the show or if it's just its own thing, but either way it seems like a pretty cool way to experience the story of a fan-favourite villain.

'As fans, we want this game to be very special and we are energised by the support and enthusiasm we've received from Netflix and the Stranger Things creative team.' 'We are awed that we get to live within the Stranger Things universe and dive into the rich inner worlds of its characters through Tender Claws' unique approach to nested worlds and immersive dreamscapes,' said directors Samantha Gorman and Danny Cannizzaro shared in a joint statement.

It's also planned for all major VR platforms, though no specifics on which those are, and should be launching winter 2023, but again no more details than that. The VR user is trapped in the Byers home and hears the phone ring and must find a way down the hall to answer it only to discover Will Byers pleading. The game is described as a 'pyschological horror/ action game,' so presumably not one for the faint of heart. Taking on this role, you'll be invading the memories and dreams of characters from the show, and you can 'harness telekinetic powers to battle humans and creatures alike' (via Eurogamer). Strangers Things VR is being made in collaboration with Netflix from Virtual Virtual Reality developer Tender Claws, and rather than letting you play as one of the kids, this time round you're playing as season four's big bad Vecna. If you watched Stranger Things season four, took one look at Venca and thought 'god I wish that were me,' you're in luck, because Stranger Things VR makes that dream come true!
