Summary
From pinball to supernatural mysteries, April presents even more new VR games. Here's our latest monthly highlights.
March is nearly over and VR gaming saw numerous releases. We're still preparing our full thoughts on Hitman World of Assassination, Lovesick and Train Sim World VR: New York, but we've reviewed Mythic Realms, Pixel Dungeon, and Rogue Piñatas: VRmageddon. We also checked out Symphoni, Path of Fury, and Boxed Out, while other new releases included Sword Reverie and StellarPlans.
April has suddenly come alive with numerous new releases since we first published this article, and we'll keep updating our list as more news comes in. While these are some of the larger launches heading to VR this month, our comprehensive upcoming VR games list remains live with more details. We'll also aim to note some major game updates to existing games once we learn more.
Here's our highlights for new VR games on Quest, PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Pico this April.
Pinball FX VR - April 3 (Quest)
Developed by Zen Studios, Pinball FX VR notably differs from the original 2023 flatscreen game. It features a new environment, a mission-based campaign mode for unlocking new rewards, alongside activities like darts mini-games and interactive gadgets. Mixed reality mode lets you place virtual pinball machines across your play space, and online leaderboards are also supported.
