Oculus-exclusive VR beat ’em up Path of the Warrior got a new update today enabling co-op, including cross-play between Quest & Rift.

Published by Oculus Studios, developer Twisted Pixel launched Path of the Warrior last month on Quest and Rift. The title reimagines beat ’em up action for VR from classics like Double Dragon (1987) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (1989).

While the co-op feature was announced at launch, it wasn’t available until today. A free update added Path of the Warrior co-op multiplayer, letting you team up with a friend across all single player levels.

Better still, the game also supports cross-buy (if you buy on Rift, you can also play it on Quest and vice versa) and cross-play, which means that Quest and Rift players can play co-op together.

Not segmenting players by headset is a good idea, not only because it opens more avenues for friends to play together, but also because it helps bolster the multiplayer population of a given VR game. We’d love to see more games which go even further by offering cross-platform multiplayer (like playing between Quest and Vive), but unfortunately Path of the Warrior is an Oculus exclusive which means it’s only available on select Oculus headsets.

    It’s a shame that any games don’t have crossbuy, but I guess then you can get your PC version on steam.

    • See the problem that not many are noticing is that if you own a Rift and a Quest then you cannot use both to co-op because you cannot add yourself since both rift and quest are on same account. Then if I want to buy a second version on steam I cannot because it’s not out on Steam.

    More arcade games needed as playable machines.Like in the mission where you actually inside a real arcade.Jesus love you !

  • Coop does not apply to your two head sets though. Meaning if you have a quest and a rift you cannot play with each other.

      I really attain close to $6,000-$8,000 monthly working with the internet. I was jobless inspite of giving a great no. of hours and diligence. I always wanted an employment opportunity that is authentic. I was never into schemes for instance rapidly becoming “rich overnight” that turned out to be promotional programs. In addition to the neatest thing around it is that I now do business for only couple of hours on a daily basis which simply leaves me suitably more of freedom in I had before with my kids. Don’t ignore this chance and make sure to act fast >>>>> 7i.fi/a0Rh5
