BEATABLE: An Ingenious Hand-Tracking Rhythm Game for Quest

XR Games, known for titles like Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded and Starship Troopers Continuum from 2024, has unveiled an exciting new rhythm game called BEATABLE. Exclusively designed for the Quest, this game ingeniously uses hand-tracking technology to transform any table into a dynamic musical instrument.

The magic of aligning your physical space with virtual environments often creates an immersive experience. BEATABLE elevates this immersion by letting you use your table as an interactive drum, where tapping, snapping, and clapping along to the beat are a part of the fun. This “real-world haptic” feedback offers a dimension that traditional controller-based rhythm games can’t match.

What’s interesting about BEATABLE is that it ditches the controllers entirely, relying solely on hand-tracking. The game promises quick calibration for accurate and responsive movements, which is crucial for nailing those beats perfectly.

Renowned VR YouTuber and rhythm game aficionado, Naysy, has teamed up with XR Games to lend her expertise. She has been involved throughout the development process and is featured in the game’s trailer, which showcases BEATABLE’s vibrant gameplay.

Naysy shared her enthusiasm, stating, “It’s been awhile since a rhythm game captivated me like this. As a big fan of VR rhythm games, I find BEATABLE’s unique approach to the genre truly refreshing. The mix of physical interaction and hand-tracking is a natural fit, offering an immersive experience that’s irresistible. I’m thrilled with this game and eagerly anticipate its release to everyone.”

Excitingly, BEATABLE is set to debut in early access on April 10th for Quest 2 and newer models. Pre-orders can be made now, offering a 10% discount that sets the game’s price at a tempting $9.
