Resolution Games announced that Spatial Ops, the studio’s multiplayer mixed reality shooter currently in beta, is heading for full launch on Quest next month.

Update (October 14th, 2024): Spatial Ops is now headed for full launch on Quest 2/3/Pro on November 14th, priced at $20 ($15 for pre-orders).

Alongside multiplayer shooting, the game also features a two-hour Campaign Mode for some story-based wave shooting action. A separate Campaign Edition for Pico 4 headsets with Campaign Mode is also launching on November 14th.

The original article announcing its release window follows below:

Original Article (June 26th, 2024): Spatial Ops lets you turn any physical space big enough for mixed reality play into a virtual battlefield, replete with barriers and a host of weapons, such as Tommy guns, revolvers, shotguns, scoped rifles, rocket launchers, grenades, and a riot shield—making it feel more than a bit like a game of laser tag on steroids.

Featuring 1-8 players, Spatial Ops offers a number of modes, including a solo PvE bot mode, and PvP modes like Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Domination, and Free-For-All.

While it might seem like the game is designed with VR arcades in mind, thanks to a handy level editor basically anyone can pick up Spatial Ops and tailor it to their living room, basement, or well-lit outdoor space for some pretty impressive battles. Check out our early hands-on here to learn more.

Resolution Games says the launch version of Spatial Ops will focus on reduced gametime setup, pre-set and movable maps, performance optimization, more gameplay, more enemies, and more modes.

Spatial Ops is already available to wishlist on Quest 2/3/Pro via the Horizon Store (ex-Quest Store). If you’re interested in playing the open beta, you can play it via SideQuest up until its full launch.

      If you're no fun you aren't lol

  • Nice trailer!

  • Neato! A consumer release of shared AR spaces in real space. I don't think we've ever seen this before, outside of custom stuff in VR arcades. I wonder if those tools are available to a wider list of developers now? I can think of a few games that might work, beyond just a maze with guns.
