Get ready to break a sweat as Pixel Arcade, a competitive VR platformer, makes its debut on Quest today. Brought to life by CJG Studio, this game invites players into a vibrant world of VR parkour. Here, you’ll need to deftly navigate through challenging, neon-drenched environments to rack up impressive scores on the global leaderboards. The task isn’t just about leaping from platform to platform; you’ll also have to dodge obstacles like lasers and bounce pads that are waiting to disrupt your meticulously planned path.
In Pixel Arcade, you’ll face ten distinct levels, each offering a unique and complex spatial challenge to tackle. As you work through these levels, unlocking checkpoints along the way will help you secure your progress, offering a bit of relief as you strategize your next move.
Building on the solid foundation of its predecessor, Pixel Arcade Legacy, which came out in 2016, CJG Studio has expanded the horizons in this new release. It not only retains the vibrant pixel art style that drew many to the original but also enhances it with visual upgrades and new environments that require fresh strategies to conquer.
While you won’t find multiplayer mode immediately available upon launch, CJG Studio has assured fans that it will be a part of future updates. Alongside multiplayer, players can also look forward to seasonal updates and additional content that promise to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
After its initial stint in Steam Early Access, Pixel Arcade is now ready for Quest. Plus, there’s some good news for PlayStation VR2 enthusiasts—the trailer hints that a version for your platform is on its way soon.
A quick note: This piece was originally published back on January 31, aligning with its planned Quest release date. We’re revisiting it today following confirmation of its launch. Happy gaming!
