OpenXR is rolling out spatial containers, a new multitasking framework that lets XR apps switch between bounded and immersive modes - similar to how Apple Vision Pro handles Shared Space. The Khronos Group has ratified the extensions, with implementations expected across the OpenXR ecosystem during 2026. https://roadtovr.com/openxr-apple-vision-pro-multitasking-feature-2026/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #OpenXR

VRChat's Open Beta client adds native, SDK-level face tracking to avatars for the first time, removing the need for third-party add-ons such as VRCFaceTracking. Creators can now author facial expressions directly in the Avatar Descriptor, with blendshape mapping and network sync that consumes none of the avatar's synced parameter budget. https://www.uploadvr.com/vrchat-gets-native-face-tracking-support-in-open-beta/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #VRChat

Joy Way is bringing Fading Light, its VR zombie survival shooter, to Quest on 12 November.

Meta has confirmed that Quest headset sales fell in the third quarter, with Reality Labs revenue down 6% to 443M USD, partly offset by strong growth in AI glasses. Zuckerberg said the company will now only ship new VR devices when it achieves major breakthroughs, hinting at longer gaps between Quest generations as Meta VR Glasses target prosumer and professional buyers. https://roadtovr.com/meta-declining-quest-sales-major-breakthroughs/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #Meta

KAT VR has lent a pre-release unit of its C3 Ultra VR treadmill to testers ahead of the official announcement. The rig pairs sensor-equipped shoes with a concave platform, translating real walking into smooth in-game locomotion in any title that supports it. The catch is logistics: 70kg across four boxes, a 1.5m footprint and some 90 minutes of assembly. https://skarredghost.com/2026/10/27/kat-walk-c3-ultra-vr-treadmill-review/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #KAT

Physics-driven voxel sandbox Voxel Playground has launched on Steam for PC VR, following its Quest early access release in 2025.

Multiplayer is planned for the game's Christmas update. https://www.uploadvr.com/voxel-playground-launches-on-pc-vr-today/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #VRGaming

A fresh mixed reality mod makes the 30-year-old Super Mario 64 playable on a Pico headset, and it is more than a novelty. XR developer Lucas Martinic rebuilt the game from a decompiled source using Claude Opus 5.5 and Pico's CLI tooling, adding true stereoscopic rendering at a native 90fps. You can pluck Mario out of the Mushroom Kingdom and set him on your real desk. No release date yet. https://roadtovr.com/mario-64-mixed-reality-mod-pico-quest/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #Pico

Valve says it still believes in VR, but concedes the platform faces a chicken-and-egg problem: developers wait for the market to grow while players wait for more VR games. Steam Frame owners are mostly playing flat-screen titles, and rising RAM and memory prices pushed the headset above its intended price tag. OpenXR and Steam Link support are Valve's answer to widening the install base. https://roadtovr.com/valve-vr-still-important-content-dilemma/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #Valve

CircuitLord's unofficial Titanfall 2 VR mod has entered an open multiplayer beta with NA and EU servers, about a month after the single-player release. The mod reworks the 2016 movement shooter for VR with interactive weapon reloading and locomotion built around wall-running, dash-sliding and grappling. It is free, but you need your own copy of the game and an OpenXR PC VR headset. https://roadtovr.com/titanfall-2-vr-multiplayer-mod-pc-vr/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #VRGaming

EXOSHOCK, the Halo-inspired co-op shooter from two-person studio POLARITYONE, has launched in early access on Quest and PC VR after a year of open betas.
