From futuristic racers to The Smurfs, June has a few new VR games. Here are our monthly highlights.
May delivered another busy month full of new releases, and June’s looking a little quieter. Last month prominently featured The Midnight Walk, Final Fury, Surviving Mars: Pioneer, Bearly Escape, Tunnels, F1 25, Out of Sight VR, and POOLS VR. That’s before counting Pirates VR: Jolly Roger, Smash Drums, and Ghosts of Tabor reaching PS VR2, while Into the Radius 2 and Hard Bullet arrived on Quest 3.
We’ll update this list if more games get announced or delayed, though we’ve deliberately excluded Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic because VR support is currently unclear despite previous confirmations. Steel Wool Studios has not replied to UploadVR’s previous requests for clarification, so we’ll adjust this list if we learn more.
For even more titles, our upcoming VR games list receives near-daily updates. For now, here are this June’s highlights for new VR games on Quest, PC VR, and PlayStation VR2.
Alliance Peacefighter – June 4 (PC VR)
Created by Urban Logic Games, Alliance Peacefighter is a story-driven sim inspired by X-Wing and Wing Commander. Featuring optional PC VR support with full HOTAS compatibility, you play as a newly qualified Alliance pilot caught in a fight between two galactic superpowers.
