Spatial Ops, the mixed reality shooter from Resolution Games, officially releases today on Quest, letting you organize essentially the wildest game of laser tag imaginable.

Now available on Quest 2/3/Pro, Spatial Ops lets you go head-to-head with up to eight players across a number of game modes, including Free for All, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Domination.

Since it uses a fairly large room-scale space, you might think Spatial Ops would be better suited for VR arcades, however it prominently features a level editor so you can tailor your matches to fit any space.

For local play, you simply need to map out a room (or entire floor) to turn your space into a combat zone for competitive or team-based play. If you can agree upon a mutual playing field with your farther-flung friends (i.e. not local), you can also play online too.

In addition to the game’s multiplayer arena shooting action, Spatial Ops also features a two-hour Campaign Mode for some added wave shooting action. A separate Campaign Edition for Pico headsets also launches today.

“Spatial Ops represents the next step in the evolution of first-person shooters, delivering a level of engagement and physicality never before seen in gaming, where the real and digital worlds become one around you and your body is the controller,” said Tommy Palm, CEO and founder of Resolution Games. “In all my years in gaming, I can say that we are absolutely ushering in a new era of gameplay with Spatial Ops.”

You can grab Spatial Ops on the Horizon Store for Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro, priced at $20.

    This is now my # 1 Mixed Reality game. Track Craft is # 2. Map editor is great, easy to use and being able to set up a 46×34 foot game in your small living room is unreal. If you delete the outside wall surrounding your playspace, you can extend the custom levels out into the street in front of your home. lol. The campaign was also better than I anticipated as I originally thought it was simply another basic wave shooter but the twists and power ups brought me back to games like House of the Dead. Easily worth $20 all day imo.

  • Ooo! This looks cool! We're finally seeing a wave of MR content now that we have decent cameras on the Quest 3, and I'm really excited for it! There's a ton of cool stuff to be explored in this space.
