The creative minds at XR Games, known for titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded and Starship Troopers Continuum, are gearing up to introduce a fresh rhythm game called BEATABLE for the Quest platform. This innovative game leverages hand-tracking technology to transform an ordinary table into an engaging musical instrument.
Typically, when a virtual environment mirrors your real-world surroundings, it heightens immersion, creating a compelling sense of reality. BEATABLE elevates this experience by allowing players to use their tables to make music. With just your hands, you can tap, snap, and clap to the rhythm, offering a tactile feedback that traditional controller-based rhythm games just can’t match.
Forget about fumbling with controllers—BEATABLE relies solely on hand-tracking. The developers promise a quick setup, ensuring that the hand-tracking is precise and responsive, which is crucial for those aiming to nail the beat perfectly.
Adding to the development journey, popular VR YouTuber and rhythm game aficionado, ‘Naysy’, has joined forces with XR Games, providing valuable insights throughout the game’s development stages. You can even spot them in the game’s trailer.
"I haven’t felt this hooked on a rhythm game in quite some time," shares Naysy. "I’m passionate about VR rhythm games, and I believe BEATABLE brings a fresh twist to the genre. The combination of physical interaction and hand-tracking feels intuitive and creates an incredibly immersive experience. I’m completely won over by this game and can’t wait for everyone to try it."
Mark your calendars, as BEATABLE will be available in early access starting April 10th on Quest 2 and later models. Pre-orders are currently open with a tempting 10% discount, pricing the game at $9.
