XR Games, the creative minds behind popular titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded and Starship Troopers Continuum from 2024, have something new up their sleeve. They’ve introduced a fresh rhythm game for the Quest platform called BEATABLE, which cleverly transforms any table into a musical instrument using hand-tracking technology.
Integrating the physical world with the virtual one often enhances the gaming experience by adding an extra dimension of realism. Beatable takes this concept up a notch by enabling players to utilize their own tables as makeshift instruments. All you need are your hands to tap, snap, and clap in time with the beat, delivering a tactile experience that traditional controller-based rhythm games simply can’t match.
Ditching controllers entirely, Beatable relies solely on hand-tracking, boasting swift calibration for accurate and responsive inputs. This precision is crucial when you’re aiming to nail every beat and rack up those high scores.
Notably, VR YouTuber and rhythm action aficionado, Naysy, has joined forces with XR Games. She’s involved in providing valuable gameplay feedback during the development process and even makes an appearance in the game’s captivating trailer.
Sharing her excitement, Naysy enthuses, “It’s been a while since a rhythm game hooked me like this. I’m a huge fan of VR rhythm games, and BEATABLE presents a fresh twist on the genre. The combination of physical interaction and hand tracking is a natural fit, creating an immersive and downright fun experience. I’m hooked on this game and can’t wait for others to dive in.”
Gamers can look forward to getting their hands on Beatable when it launches in early access on April 10th for Quest 2 and newer models. Eager beavers can snag a pre-order right now with a nifty 10% discount, bringing the price down to just $9.
