• VR Compatibility Improvements and MORE - 9 April 2026

  Some of you reported that the game wasn’t launching correctly, so we started investigating and we tracked down the issue — it was caused by our game requiring SteamVR to be running. To fix this issue, we decided to update the game to use OpenXR instead.What does this mean for you?* The game will automatically work with your preferred VR runtime (SteamVR, Quest, etc.)* Quest players using Link/Air Link or other runtimes can now play without extra setup* We recommend PICO users to stick to SteamVR. There's an experimental feature for PICO Connect which would allow you to stream directly to the PICO headset without SteamVR, but we can't guarantee this will work smoothly for youIf you were already using SteamVR:Nothing should change for you — the game will continue to work as before. Just ensure SteamVR is your runtime by default in the settings and you're good!This change should make launc…

• Our rhythm x boxing VR game BEAT THE BEATS is in Steam Rhythm Fest! - 19 August 2024

  Hello everyone! We’re really pumped to let you know that we are participating in Steam Rhythm Fest with our playable demo 🥊 The demo includes the tutorial and eight levels to play through. The final level can only be unlocked by getting ‘A’ grade on all previous levels. Think you’re to the challenge? The playtime is around 30 minutes on the first playthrough. If you perfect each level, you can make it in 15. For content creators and streamers, the team has worked on making headset recording much smoother for better-quality streams and videos. The game also offers two extra camera modes to get the best output for the people watching: A tweakable fixed camera to make it easier to add recorded footage and a First Person one with smoothing options to avoid the Shaki-VR style. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2751550 We’d love for you to check out the demo and let us know any feedback you…
