Brazen Blaze is a unique VR brawler that’s just launched on Quest and PC VR. Meanwhile, Chess Club, Ironlights, and Battle Talent have all gotten exciting updates.
Those of you who have been reading Road to VR for a long time might recall the ‘Oculus Rift News Bits‘ articles we ran more than a decade ago. These were roundups of smaller pieces of news pertaining to the Oculus Rift (as there was little else happening to cover at the time!) that we felt were worth sharing, even if each one individually didn’t need a full article.
Today we’re reviving this idea with ‘XR News Bits’. XR has grown by an unfathomable amount compared to where we were all those years ago, and an incredible amount of exciting XR news comes our way every day. Very often we see pitches come across our desk that are worth highlighting, but we don’t always have the bandwidth for a full article on every one of them. XR News Bits is our new, occasional roundup of stories we think are worth a shout-out, even if we can’t take you in-depth.
Chess Club Update Brings Mixed Reality Mode and Permanent Price Reduction
Odders Lab, the Spanish developers behind popular XR titles like OhShape and Les Mills XR Bodycombat, has released a mixed reality update for their Quest game Chess Club on World Chess Day. In a move to make the game more accessible, Odders Lab is also permanently reducing the price from $15 to $10. Chess enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing this classic game in a whole new dimension.
