XR Games, well-known for titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded and Starship Troopers Continuum released in 2024, is stirring the pot again with an exciting new rhythm game for the Quest called BEATABLE. This innovative game transforms any table into a musical instrument using hand-tracking technology.
Blending your real-world surroundings with virtual reality often creates an incredibly immersive experience, allowing you to physically interact with the digital world around you. Beatable cleverly capitalizes on this idea by letting you use your table as its musical centerpiece. You’ll be tapping, snapping, and clapping to the rhythm, fully engaging with the music in a way that traditional controller-based rhythm games sometimes fail to capture.
In a break from convention, Beatable ditches controllers entirely, focusing solely on hand tracking. The game boasts fast calibration for precise and responsive hand movements, essential for keeping perfect time and achieving high scores.
Joining them in this venture is VR YouTuber and rhythm action specialist, ‘Naysy’. She’s been onboard to provide gameplay insights during development and even makes an appearance in the game’s trailer.
“It’s been a while since a rhythm game hooked me like this,” Naysy admits. “I’m a big fan of VR rhythm games, and BEATABLE stands out with its unique twist. The physical interaction combined with hand tracking fits perfectly, offering a genuinely fun and immersive experience. I’ve fallen in love with it and can’t wait for everyone else to try it out.”
Gamers eager to dive into this new experience won’t have to wait much longer. Beatable is set to launch in early access on April 10th for Quest 2 and newer models. Excitingly, pre-orders are open now with a 10% discount, making the game available for just $9.
