MudRunner VR Brings Off Road VR Driving To The Meta Quest
Flatscreen game MudRunner has now released in Virtual Reality on May 30, 2024 as MudRunner VR. It is now available on the Meta Quest store for the Meta Quest 2, Meta quest 3, and Meta Quest Pro. Sorry PCVR and PSVR fans, but MudRunner VR has not yet released on those platforms in keeping with the current trend of games targeting the standalone market first.
As a VR off road driving game, MudRunner VR has no real competition on the Quest or the VR games market in general at its time of release.

Offroad VR driving will certainly be a unique Virtual Reality experience, and MudRunner VR plans to keep it expansive with 8 vehicles to choose from and a variety of massive maps, traps, and obstructions for you to drive through as best you can. In this game careful planning and thinking as well as use of your tools will trump pure speed as you do your best to complete deliveries and other objectives across the untamed landscape.
