Meta Quest 3’s Home Sports is a mixed reality take on Wii Sports

Home Sports is a new Meta Quest 3 game from Demeo developer Resolution Games. Think Wii Sports if it were a VR game with mixed reality elements.

Resolution Games has a solid track record with VR video games on Meta Quest and mixed reality games for headsets like the Apple Vision Pro. Now, it’s leveraging that expertise to make a sports game collection, which Wii Sports proved is one of the most intuitive ways to get people to understand a funky gaming hardware concept. Using the Meta Quest 3’s mixed reality features, Home Sports essentially turns your room into the play space for these sports.

At release, the game will feature five different sports: pickleball, hockey, bowling, minigolf, and badminton. Many of these have already been amply represented in VR in some form, but Home Sports is hoping to give them a mixed-reality twist. All sports will support both local and online multiplayer. Resolution Games CEO Tommy Palm frames Home Sports as a culmination of sorts for the studio.

“At Resolution Games, we want our games to create real impacts on people by creating real connections, real movement, and real fun. Home Sports checks all of those boxes and is a true showcase of the magic of mixed reality on Meta Quest 3, allowing players to move freely in the game as you weave back and forth to hit the birdie in badminton or move around the mini golf course, much like you would in the actual sport, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it,” Palm said in a press release.

Home Sports does not yet have a specific release date, although Resolution Games says it is “launching soon.”

Get the most out of Meta Quest 3’s mixed-reality with these VR games
A person is enthusiastically enjoying a game while wearing the Meta Quest 3.

Before I got my hands on the Meta Quest 3 last month, I was thoroughly underwhelmed by the concept of mixed reality (MR) gaming. I wasn’t a huge fan of devices like the Magic Leap One, seeing as its augmented reality games were so rudimentary. So, when Meta made enhanced MR the marquee feature of the Quest 3, it seemed more like a gimmick than something I’d find any interest in.

Boy, was I wrong.

The best Meta Quest 2 games

The Meta Quest is what prospective virtual reality fans likely envisioned when the technology was in its infancy -- an all-in-one device that can be used on its own nearly anywhere, complete with hand-tracking and touch controllers. Though it lacks the raw power of its rivals, the Meta Rift and HTC’s Vive headsets, the Quest more than makes up for it with its convenience. It’s also capable of playing some of the best VR games on the market. Here are some of the best VR experiences the Meta Quest currently has to offer.

Meta Quest+ subscription is the VR version of PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold
Key art for Meta Quest+

The Meta Quest family of headsets is getting their own version of PlayStation Plus Essential or Xbox Live Gold. Called Meta Quest+, this monthly subscription will give its subscribers two VR games to play every month.
Introducing Meta Quest+ | VR Title Subscription
Meta Quest+ will cost $8 a month or $60 a year, although Meta is running a launch promotion where those who subscribe before July 31 will get their first month for $1. With that subscription, you'll get two games each month, which will stay in your library as long as you're subscribed to Meta Quest+. We've already learned which games will be coming to the service in July and August.
In July, Meta Quest+ subscribers will gain access to Pistol Whip and Pixel Ripped 1995. Pistol Whip is a pretty iconic VR game that mixes FPS and rhythm game mechanics, tasking players to shoot enemies and dodge bullets to beats of a variety of songs. Meanwhile, Pixel Ripped 1995 is a retro-inspired VR game that will have you playing a bunch of fake 16 and 32-bit games within VR as you follow the story of a kid growing up in the 90s.

In August, the two Meta Quest+ games are Walkabout Mini Golf and Mothergunship: Forge. Walkabout Mini Golf is a VR mini golf simulator that features multiplayer as well as a lot of DLC that features courses based on things like Labyrinth and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Mothergunship: Forge is an FPS roguelike where players must build their own weapons as they fight through the titular ship. 
Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro users can now subscribe to Meta Quest+; the Quest 3 will also support it when the headset launches later this year.
