December has been a busy month for the VR industry, with exciting developments across gaming, hardware, and accessories. Here’s a quick look at the most notable updates:
1. VR Development progress of Fallout: London
Modder Raezroth Elnheim Fallout: London has begun adapting Fallout: London for VR. Raezroth says that the VR version of Fallout: London “is currently an experimental project,” but he notes that he’s “interested in making a full VR podge for Fallout: London.”
2. Skydance’s Behemoth released new patch
Skydance’s BEHEMOTH, a VR game from Skydance Games Studio, was released on December 5. Players praised the game, its story, combat mechanics, and engaging battles. But it wasn’t without its problems. Namely with performance. Today, on December 12th, a patch was released that solves performance issues, and bugs in boss battles, and improves AI, which should improve the stability of the game on Quest, PSVR 2, and PC VR.
3. Roto VR raises additional funding
Roto VR is set to raise £2.4 million in investment to meet demand for its recently launched Roto VR Explorer chair. Roto says the funding will support its next phase of growth following the launch of the Roto VR Explorer chair, which hit the market in November 2024.
It should be noted that the chair features a patented head tracking system to align users’ gaze when rotating the chair for better immersion and this solves the problem of motion sickness. It is compatible with over 400 games and apps from Meta Store.
4. Co-op mode in Green Hell VR for Quest and PSVR 2
Incuvo’s VR adaptation of Green Hell is launching its highly anticipated co-op mode on December 16 for Quest and PSVR 2. The update will allow for up to four players to play in a group. Currently, the co-op mode is still limited to certain platforms, so bringing co-op to Meta Quest and PSVR2 is extremely important for their VR community.
5. Haptic gun from StrikerVR is avaliable for pre-order
StrikerVR’s haptic gun is now available for pre-order. It costs $499 and is compatible with Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets. Currently, there is support for three games such as Tower Tag, and Laser Limbo, and the company promises more games in 2025.
With realistic recoil and six-degrees-of-freedom tracking, Mavrik will make the gameplay of shooters in the virtual world even cooler.
