XR Games, well-known for titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded and Starship Troopers Continuum, has unveiled an exciting new rhythm game for the Quest line-up called BEATABLE. This innovative game leverages hand-tracking technology to transform your everyday table into a dynamic musical instrument.
When you align your physical surroundings with a virtual setting, the immersion can be truly captivating. In BEATABLE, this concept is pushed further by letting you turn your table into an instrument where you can physically interact by tapping, snapping, and clapping to the rhythm. This creates a “real-world haptics” experience that can’t be matched by traditional controller-based rhythm games.
Gone are the controllers; BEATABLE exclusively uses hand-tracking, boasting quick calibration for accurate and responsive hand movements. This precision is crucial for hitting the beats perfectly and achieving those high scores.
Adding some extra star power to the mix, VR YouTuber and rhythm game aficionado ‘Naysy’ has joined forces with XR Games. She’s lending her expertise throughout the development of BEATABLE and is featured in the game’s trailer.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Naysy shared, “It’s been a while since a rhythm game has captivated me this much. I’m a huge fan of VR rhythm games, and BEATABLE brings something truly fresh to the table. The physical interaction paired with hand tracking just feels natural and makes for a truly enjoyable immersive experience. I’m absolutely hooked on this game and can’t wait for others to dive in!”
Mark your calendars, as BEATABLE is set to hit early access on April 10th for Quest 2 and up. There’s even a pre-order opportunity now available, offering a 10% discount, which brings the price down to $9.
