XR Games, well-known for titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded and Starship Troopers Continuum, both from 2024, is set to release an innovative rhythm game titled BEATABLE for the Quest platform. What sets BEATABLE apart is its clever use of hand-tracking technology that turns any table into a makeshift musical instrument.
Imagine pairing your actual surroundings with a virtual experience—the result is an immersive escape that adds a convincing touch of reality. BEATABLE pushes this concept even further by transforming your table into an instrument where you can physically engage with the rhythm. Instead of relying on controllers, you’ll be using your hands to tap, snap, and clap to the beat. This creates an experience of “real-world haptics” that traditional controller-based rhythm games simply can’t match.
The real beauty of BEATABLE lies in its hand-tracking-only gameplay, ensuring that every tap and clap is recognized with precision. The game promises quick calibration, so you can jump right into the action and aim for those perfect scores.
Adding more credibility to this venture, VR YouTuber and rhythm game aficionado, Naysy, has joined forces with XR Games. Her insights during development have been invaluable, and she even makes an appearance in the game’s promotional trailer.
Naysy shares her excitement for the game, saying, “It’s been a while since I’ve been hooked on a rhythm game like this. I love VR rhythm experiences, and BEATABLE provides a fresh twist. The combination of physical interaction and hand tracking offers a naturally immersive experience. I’m thrilled with this game and eager for everyone to try it.”
Eager players can look forward to the early access release of BEATABLE on April 10th for Quest 2 and newer models. If you’re intrigued, you can pre-order the game now and enjoy a 10% discount, making it available for just $9.
