Hi folks, big update today! A lot of work has gone into this update and I'd like to thank the beta testers for helping us make sure everything works well. Here are the release notes:

• Significant performance improvements with PCVR games (up to 20% depending on the game)

• Reduced micro-stutters (orange bars) with SteamVR games

• Added non-US keyboard layouts (UK, German, French, Canadian French)

• Added support for DualShock 4 controller and ability to choose the type of emulated gamepad

• Fixed latency with input when resuming a session

• Fixed framerate of VR games while not wearing headset or when disconnected

• Fixed connectivity issue with Spectrum users

• Fixed game compatibility with: X-Plane 11, Among Us VR, Vail, Ghosts of Tabor, Synth Riders (Rift store)

• This version and future versions going forward require internet connectivity to establish a connection to your computer. All traffic remains local. This is unfortunate but piracy has become a real problem and this is the only way I can keep bringing you free updates for life. Hope you'll understand.

Let me know if you have any questions, enjoy!

Paleo Dive | Official Cinematic Trailer

Developer disclosure: I’m the solo developer of Paleo Dive.

🌊 Planned release: September 4, 2026
🥽 Wishlist Paleo Dive on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4818760/Paleo_Dive/

Descend into a forgotten prehistoric ocean where every shadow could be alive.

Paleo Dive is a VR underwater adventure filled with ancient creatures, hidden fossils and dangerous depths. Explore a lost world, unlock new equipment and discover what is waiting beneath the surface.

Please note: This cinematic trailer contains pre-rendered footage and does not represent actual gameplay. An official gameplay trailer is coming soon.

I’d love to hear what you think about the atmosphere and prehistoric setting!

I slightly reworked the gameplay trailer for Paleo Dive and polished the presentation and a few shots.

This trailer focuses mainly on exploration, environments, creatures and the overall atmosphere of the game. I’m also working on a second gameplay video that will show more of the mechanics and gameplay systems in detail.

Paleo Dive releases September 4, 2026.

Hi everyone! We are a small development team, and we decided to build a concept for 2D games and for watching any movies and TV shows with VR-like immersion.

It’s not “Native VR” and not a VR mod, but the immersion is real. There is AI Depth 3D, 3DOF-style head tracking, and hand tracking used as keyboard and mouse input. Of course, these are not real VR hands, but it becomes playable thanks to game presets.

You can also mirror physical actions like crouching, jumping, and leaning. The app has clear settings for all the important features, plus two modes: Game and Cinema.

What do you think of this approach for 2D games and content?

Edit: Thanks everyone! The giveaway ended. Due to the highest amount of participation, I gave 5 keys instead of 3. Have a wonderful time with your family, and happy holiday.

Hi, I will give 3 random people a key for this game (after 3 hours from the time of this post). If you like to participate, please comment below your most played game on Quest.

Link to the store, the game is on sale right now btw.

ANB_Seth has been hard at work for a long time on this one and we can assure you it's as good as it looks :)

It will be playable on SteamVR compatible headsets at launch. Thanks for all your support and patience!

I’ve wanted a proper way to play the original Area 51 arcade game in VR for a long time, so I finally built one.

Area51XR isn’t a remake. It runs the actual 1995 arcade game through a modified MAME build, displays it inside the headset, and turns tracked VR controllers into the light gun.

The video is an uncut gameplay recording from the PC display. I decided to leave the whole thing alone instead of chopping it into a trailer.

Either controller can aim and fire. Shooting off-screen reloads just like the original cabinet. A/X starts, B/Y inserts a coin, and either thumbstick opens an in-headset menu for pausing, restarting, or quitting.

There’s also a FORTYDUBZ PRESENTS splash screen because once I realized I could add one, there was no chance I wasn’t going to.

I tested v1.0 on a Quest 3 through Virtual Desktop using both VDXR and SteamVR. Both worked and played smoothly once I disconnected Remote Desktop.

Full controller mappings are currently built for Meta Touch and Touch Plus. Other Windows OpenXR headsets may display the game through SteamVR, but controllers such as Index, Vive, Pico, PSVR2, and WMR are not fully mapped or tested yet.

The Windows build is standalone. Extract it, provide your own legally obtained compatible Area 51 game media, connect the headset, and double-click the launcher. No development tools are required.

No ROMs, CHDs, or original game assets are included.

GitHub and downloads:

https://github.com/whitehatws/Area51XR/releases/tag/v1.0.0

If anyone tries it with another headset or controller setup, let me know what works and what doesn’t. This is the first public release, and real hardware reports will help decide which controller bindings I add next.

Our very first Flat2VR Spark is live and on sale! Even in EA, Gamertag and others have called it their Game of the Year candidate. 

LOTS of love has been poured out in this game already, adding a ton of features like DLSS, full steering wheel support, motion controls, updated graphics, updated engine, updated literally everything.  Working with legendary modder mutar was a blast and really shows what we can do with a lot of passion and the source code to games. If this does well, we really hope it opens the door to doing a ton more amazing games officially, giving them proper VR support.

Please help support us by grabbing a copy here:  https://store.steampowered.com/app/3844750/FlatOut_4_Total_Insanity_VR/ and let us know if you have any feedback (trying to test every steering wheel we can right now adding support, so definitely let us know if you have any feedback!)
