Into the Radius 2 slipped on PS VR2. It was due September 24 and moved to October 8 after Sony's final certification flagged issues to fix. It will run at a native 90 fps with eye-tracked foveated rendering, and co-op arrives in the last quarter of the year.
Sol Protocol, a co-op roguelike for up to three players, has been in early access on Quest since September 19; it reaches Steam in October.
Late 2026: a window, but no day
- Fall (through December): Already Dead (PS VR2), Guardians Planetfall (PC VR and Quest 3), The Rifted Skies (Quest and PC VR), Stuffed: Two Foot Hero (Quest and PC VR) and R.A.I.D. (Quest and PC VR).
- Q4: Vertigo Rush (PC VR, PS VR2 and Quest), Out of Sight VR (PS VR2) and Hyperlane Highway (Quest and PC VR).
Release windows move a lot, so treat them as intent, not a promise.
2027: what's already announced
Next year's big launch is hardware: Meta VR Glasses, a roughly 100-gram headset shaped like glasses, due in spring 2027 for $1,299.99. Meta promises more than 75 games optimized for hand input, and Beat Saber gets its biggest update ever by then, headlined by the Flux mode. The full rundown is in what Meta announced at Connect 2026.
Announced for 2026, still no date
PAYDAY: Aces High has an open playtest on Quest 3 and 3S on October 19, but no launch day. System Shock VR and Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 are in the same spot. If any of them gets a date, we'll add it here.
What to play in the meantime
