Seven top VR studios are coming together to share major announcements and updates at the first VR Games Showcase on  August 15, 2024, at 9am PT.

Viewers can expect new game reveals, updates on announced projects, and new platform reveals for previously released classics.

Together these studios will feature more than 15 games in a 20+ minute show, including titles coming to Meta Quest platforms, PlayStation VR2, PC VR headsets, and Pico. The show has been created and curated by former members of UploadVR, HTC Vive, and Fast Travel Games, and is the first in a new series of VR showcases, with more announcements to come.

"We’ve been working on the VR Games Showcase for the better part of a year,” said Jamie Feltham, co-creator and host of the VR Games Showcase. “Our goal with this platform is to deliver a focused line-up of blockbuster titles. If you already own a headset, you’ll see plenty of new games to look forward to. If you don’t have a headset, we aim to show you that there’s never been a better time to jump into VR.”

The VR Games Showcase features some of the biggest developers in the industry including:

  • Beyond Frames & Combat Waffle: Revealing the first gameplay of Escaping Wonderland, plus fresh looks at Silent North and Grim.
  • Fast Travel Games: Sharing a brand new game announcement, plus updates on internal and publishing projects.
  • Flat2VR Studios: A first sneak peek at what’s to come from the new studio porting classic games to VR.
  • XR Games: Debuting the first gameplay from the highly-anticipated HITMAN 3: VR Reloaded for Meta Quest 3.
  • nDreams: Sharing updates on announced projects and the reveal of a brand new publishing title.
  • Vertigo Games: Debuting a surprise game announcement from the team behind Arizona Sunshine II and After The Fall.
  • Schell Games: Sharing updates on its horror hit, Silent Slayer, and a peek at what’s next for the studio.

Many of the featured titles will then be shown to press and content creators in the recently announced Home of XR megabooth at Gamescom 2024.

The Home of XR megabooth will make its debut in Gamescom 2024’s business area in Cologne Germany August 21-23, and will feature hands-on experiences with upcoming games targeting a Holiday 2024 release – including yet-to-be-announced titles – from the following studios:

  • nDreams
  • Fast Travel Games
  • Soul Assembly
  • Combat Waffle Studios
  • Beyond Frames Entertainment
