Virtual Skate - Store Pages Now Open for Wishlist on Meta and Steam!
Oculus Publishing Ignition title Virtual Skate brings next-level board control, multiplayer, and filming to VR.
Virtual Skate is now available to Wishlist on the Meta and Steam store pages! The soon to release VR skateboarding game was selected as 1 of 21 titles in Oculus Publishing Ignition program (see the GDC talk which featured our game amongst the other titles here: The Past, Present, and Future of Developing VR/MR with Meta).
Created by Jon West, the former cofounder and lead developer behind Skater XL. Virtual Skate evolves skateboarding games by letting players control each foot directly with their hands, like hand boarding. Instead of having a 2D axis to control each foot, you now have full 3D control over your feet. This intuitive, physics-based system unlocks next level board control, letting you move your board and style your tricks in ways not possible with canned animations.
Grab a camera and actually film your tricks. The fully interactive replay mode allows you to follow skaters to film lines with ease, zoom in and out, add slow motion, and play back your favorite clips. Not only is the replay system immersive and nostalgic for those of us who skate, it brings a whole new skill to filming.
Skate with up to 3 of your friends online! Hang out or get some clips with the homies. Voice chat, lip sync animations, and hand gestures let you express yourself naturally. Join a Quick Skate game to skate and socialize with new people or find your friends via the Sessions browser.
Express your style with a myriad of customization options for both your skater and your board. Make your look stand out just as much as your skating.
Looking to challenge yourself? Test your skills on a variety of obstacle courses, get medals for beating time limits, or push yourself to beat your own time record.
Get VR motion sickness easily? Try Lines Mode, a completely stationary experience where obstacles come to you. No movement, no rotation, all the same skateboarding!
Customize your gameplay using the stats menu and make your experience more comfortable with options like board offset, snap rotation, or a custom vignette.
Virtual Skate puts you on the board and lets you feel every pop, grind, and impact—without the broken bones and rolled ankles. Perfect for the old heads who can't huck it down big stair sets like they used to, or for rainy days that ruin a good session. Link up with friends, shred all day, and keep stacking clips.
