What are the new VR games in July 2024? Here are our monthly highlights.
June saw several VR games receive late delays, though big releases still came out. We reviewed Blade & Sorcery, Taskmaster VR, Neon Squad Tactics, Riven, F1 24, Sushi Ben, Silent Slayer, Journey To Foundation and VRIDER, along with publishing ongoing reviews for Downtown Club and Death Horizon: Cyberfusion. Other notable releases include Eternal Starlight, Body of Mine, Zengence, and BlackForge.
July looks to be just as busy, and at the moment, some notable games are launching on all the major VR/MR platforms. As always, keep an eye on our upcoming VR games list for a more comprehensive list, and we’ll update the July list as more VR games get release dates or delays.
