Get ready to dive into a thrilling VR adventure because Roboquest VR is finally making its way to PlayStation VR2 and Steam later this month, with the Quest version following suit early next year! But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just a simple port—it’s a fully reimagined VR experience that promises to redefine how we play roguelite shooters. Originally a flatscreen PC game by RyseUp Studios, Roboquest has been transformed by Flat2VR Studios into a VR masterpiece, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival since our sneak peek back in March. Imagine stepping into the shoes of a Guardian, battling mechanical enemies in randomly generated worlds, all while dodging a bullet hell that feels like it’s coming right at you. Sounds intense, right?
But here’s where it gets controversial: While the game’s comic book-inspired art style and FPS roguelite mechanics are undeniably appealing, some players might argue that the VR adaptation could either make or break the experience. Will the manual reloading and interactive weapon handling feel immersive, or will it add unnecessary complexity? And what about the PS VR2-specific features like adaptive triggers and eye-tracked foveated rendering—will they elevate the gameplay, or will they feel like gimmicks? These are questions only time (and hands-on play) will answer.
As revealed on the PlayStation Blog, Roboquest VR isn’t just a quick VR conversion; it’s been completely rebuilt from the ground up to take full advantage of VR technology. Co-op mode, a highly anticipated feature, is set to arrive in early 2026, giving players even more reason to team up and tackle the game’s challenges together. And this is the part most people miss: Roboquest VR is just one of five major announcements from Flat2VR Studios during their PlayStation VR2-focused livestream. Other highlights include the surprise launch of VRacer Hoverbike, release dates for Audio Trip and Shadowgate VR, and updates on Out of Sight VR and RAGER.
Mark your calendars: Roboquest VR drops on November 20 for Steam and PlayStation VR2, with the Quest version slated for early 2026. Whether you’re a VR veteran or a newcomer, this game promises to deliver a unique blend of action, strategy, and immersive gameplay. But here’s the real question: Will Roboquest VR live up to the hype, or will it fall short of expectations? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—are you excited to dive into this VR adventure, or do you think it’s just another roguelite in a crowded market? The debate is open!
