A Sequel Steals the Show and Sets the Tone
The Creature Feature showcase wasted no time revealing its biggest VR game announcement: a full sequel to Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 brings back the series’ offbeat blend of realistic firearms, absurd humor, and sentient hot dogs, this time headed to Quest 3/3S and Steam. The follow-up to the award-winning immersive FPS aims to expand on the original’s sandbox shooting with more structured shoot, loot, and scoot gameplay while retaining its physics-driven gunplay and tinkering appeal. The event made clear from the outset that Quest VR releases and PC VR players will both benefit from this next wave of titles, positioning H3VR 2 as a flagship experience. With the sequel frontloading the showcase, the stream set a high bar for the mix of new VR games and meaningful VR game updates that followed.
New Worlds to Explore: Flight, Language, and Terraforming Adventures
Beyond headline shooters, the Creature Feature showcase highlighted several new VR games built around exploration and creativity. Trebuchet confirmed that its open world VR flight adventure Compass now has a firm release date on Quest 3/3S and Steam: May 28. Players will navigate expansive skies and landscapes in a dedicated flight-focused experience. Language fans can look forward to Wordbound, a viral words-to-life puzzler coming to Quest 3/3S, Steam, and SteamVR, where you become a powerful wordsmith by manipulating language to solve challenges. Really Interactive unveiled Janet’s Planets, an intergalactic narrative adventure casting you as part of the Milky Way’s premier VR terraforming service on Quest 3/3S and Steam. Together, these titles underscore how the Creature Feature showcase was not just about shooters, but about diverse narrative and puzzle-driven VR experiences that expand what Quest and PC VR libraries can offer.
Action, Rhythm, and Mixed Reality Highlights
The showcase also delivered a strong lineup of action-heavy and rhythm-driven Quest VR releases. Crêpe Master! received a final reminder ahead of its May 7 launch on Quest 3/3S. In this colorful beat ’em up, you play Hana, a magical girl and reincarnated Crêpe Goddess, using a Sacred Pan and pose-based magic to fend off aliens. Creature announced it will publish Sock Puppet Superstar from Brandon Montell, a whimsical performance game for Quest and Steam where you control a singing sock puppet, matching flying notes to stay on pitch and unlocking wild voices and accessories. On the mixed reality side, Laser Dance, currently in Early Access on Quest, revealed its upcoming Mimic Update. Arriving later this summer, the update adds six new MR levels and introduces a new green laser type that moves only when you do, deepening the physical puzzle feel of turning your living room into a reactive laser obstacle course.
Co-op Horror, Norse Soulslike, and Roguelite Shooter Updates
Existing VR experiences also received substantial VR game updates during the Creature Feature showcase. Flat Head Studio announced the Goldmoon Update for its co-op horror title Deadly Delivery, adding new content on Quest and Steam to its tense loop of dodging monsters, dropping off packages, and racing to hit quotas. Neat Corp shared a developer interview for CROSSINGS, its Norse-inspired first-person VR soulslike on Steam and Quest 3/3S, detailing post-launch quality-of-life tweaks and improved multiplayer as players descend into the afterlife to challenge the weavers of fate. Salmi Games revealed Update 16 for Sweet Surrender, the frenetic VR roguelite shooter available on Quest, PSVR 2, and Steam. The patch introduces a third chip slot plus 55 new chips—such as medical precision, cross contamination, and after shocks—broadening build variety as players climb a dystopian megatower packed with hostile machines and treacherous environments.
Rhythm Expansions and Spycraft Arrivals
Rhythm and narrative fans also had plenty to note among the VR game announcements. Parallel Circles teased a major new feature for Beat the Beats, its rhythm-boxing hybrid on Quest, Steam, and Pico 4: a Level Editor. Tightly integrated with Steam Workshop, the editor will let players craft custom stages to over 90 arcade levels and 45 electronic tracks, greatly extending the game’s replayability and community-driven content. Spymaster, from InnerspaceVR, was confirmed to launch in Early Access on Quest and SteamVR on May 7. This action-narrative VR title casts you as operatives TIC, Mulligan, and OSCR, each armed with distinct skills, gadgets, and irreverent banter. Operating from NODE’s secret trawler-based command center, you’ll tackle high-stakes counterintelligence missions across the globe packed with set-piece sequences, environmental puzzles, and humor—rounding out a showcase that spanned nearly every major VR genre.
