VR fantasy adventure DrakkenRidge gets a free expansion tomorrow on Quest 3, adding a new island, new enemies, and more. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/drakkenridge...

Didn't realize how much I wanted snowboarding in Animal Company but MAN IS THIS FUN!

As we approach Cyber Monday, those deals move around a bit. Best Buy isn't offering the Quest 3 sale anymore, but Amazon is! That's a $75 Amazon gift card included with every Quest 3 purchase. amzn.to/3XnlD0v

A PSA reminder: do NOT link Meta/Facebook/Instagram/etc accounts when you use a Meta Quest. It's a great way to lose access to all the stuff you've bought if Facebook ever bans your social media account. www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtu...

The Quest 3 comes with a $75 gift card from Best Buy on Black Friday. This headset *never* goes on sale, so this is a huge deal if you're looking to get Meta's best. www.bestbuy.com/site/meta-qu...

PSVR 2 + Horizon Call of the Mountain is $299 right now. Considering how many other insanely good VR games are available on PSVR 2 (Hitman, Resident Evil 7/8, Gran Turismo, Pools, etc), this is an astounding deal! amzn.to/4ofI2rj

Seriously, buy every game on this list. www.uploadvr.com/meta-horizon...

It's been a *long* time coming, but Meta finally has a trade-in program to get you a new pair of Oakley Meta or Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses for less. I'm super happy to finally see this and hope they extend it to Quest! www.androidcentral.com/apps-softwar...

There have been a ton of GREAT VR games this year, but Demeo x D&D Battlemarked is my VR GOTY. I already loved Demeo's turn-based strategy formula, and this steps it up about 10 notches. Voiced NPCs, multiple campaigns, impressive locale variety, and more www.androidcentral.com/gaming/vr-ga...

Ghost Town deserves your vote! Supremely incredible game!

The OnePlus 15's display is the best all-around flagship OLED on any smartphone. Primarily for me, that includes a focus on *eye care* versus nonsense lab tests that require nasty crap like low-frequency PWM dimming or color dithering to win. youtu.be/aqaMNoJVnfM

🚨 VRGS Returns in TWO HOURS! 🚨 ⏱️ 9am PT/12pm ET/5pm UK/6pm EU 😱 20+ VR games inc 5 all-new titles 👀 Pre-show starts 8:45am PT Do NOT miss our first game reveal 😏 buff.ly/yr95Bi0

This is the OnePlus 15, a phone that gets *a lot* right despite what might appear like compromises on the surface. It's not the knock-down-drag-out win I thought the OnePlus 13 was, but it's still one of the best flagship phones you can buy today. www.androidcentral.com/phones/onepl...

Even Realities G2 is official, bringing a stereoscopic HUD via micro-LED projectors and waveguides in a stupidly light 36g frame. Even Realities is also making a smart ring that pairs with the glasses, enabling health monitoring and gesture control. www.androidcentral.com/wearables/ev...

Picked it up on Steam today to play on Deck and in VR. Best of both worlds!

First I see a "Stray, but a dog instead of a cat" game announced this week and now this. Doggo lovers are about to get some nice treats

The visual appeal of this phone has grown on me significantly, and I think it looks better in person than in pictures. What hasn't grown on me are the stupid, uncomfortable flat sides. My GOSH I hate this design trend. Hate hate, double hate, loathe entirely.

Earlier this week, I got an update for my Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1s and BOY OH BOY did they improve stabilization! You can also now select between stabilization options, but the auto mode does a great job out of the box. Check out the difference! youtu.be/HwtY0iKr_tc

I've been doing some testing on Meta Quest v83 PTC and, so far, seamless multitasking doesn't seem like it has the nasty memory leak problem it's had since May. Can anyone else corroborate? www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtu...

Won't lie. I cried a little here. Guess I am old 😭

Oakley Meta Vanguard is finally here! They're the most unique smart/AI glasses on the market thanks to the rugged style, centered camera, IP67 protection, and Garmin integration. Michael Hicks for AC says they're "basically the Ultra smartwatch" of the smart glasses category.

Picked up the Forgotten Fairyland course for Walkabout Mini Golf today and played with some friends from the RuffTalkVR Discord. Brilliant course, as always, and perfectly themed for spooky season! 'lil montage video of the fun: youtu.be/7cN0LSgvgs8

Hello, Bluesky! Android Central has officially landed. We're excited to bring our expert analysis, breaking news, and reviews on all things Android and tech to this platform. Give us a follow to stay in the loop!

Anyone ever use one of these gaming pillows for a Steam Deck or Switch 2? I'm considering picking one up as a more permanent solution versus just piling up a bunch of pillows on the couch.

Batman: Arkham Shadow sequel in the works?? This is the BEST news leading up to Meta Connect! www.uploadvr.com/batman-arkha...

This is why I play video games. A PARKOUR TRICKING MECH BATTLING TRAIN!!! youtu.be/r6IaYHT1M0g?...

E readers are so amazing. Reading Project Hail Mary on the BigMe HighBreak Pro on a long drive back home. Really impressed with this as an E Ink phone and easily the best one I've used so far. Feels like a regular Android phone with a paper display.

Power is out, portable gaming systems are on!

I took my Oakley Meta HSTNs on several runs and to the gym and came away generally impressed. Image stabilization from these frames, in particular, is stunning and is probably the biggest selling point for anyone looking to capture their outings. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBL0...

I only just now saw that there's a gameplay overview for House House's new game Big Walk, and I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect example of a title that would benefit immensely from an optional VR mode. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0ez...

This is some really excellent mixed reality capture @uploadvr.com ! Table Troopers Review-In-Progress: A Tactical Early Access Mixed Reality Gem share.google/qQ18GLEPCDTI...

I love how Nintendo constantly changes paradigms in big "reboot" releases. When BotW came out, suddenly you could go anywhere, climb anything, fly when you wanted. It ruined other open world games for me. Totally spoiled the player and gave true navigational freedom.

Oakley Meta HSTN's in the house! I've got a quick unboxing video and compared them to Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, if you're curious 🧐 youtu.be/R0GmEv7HhRk

This is the way for these kinds of games. I loved the early access and hope this brings more people into the fray!

I'm so over Switch 2 sensationalism. No, Nintendo didn't already hit the limits of the Switch 2 hardware. This is how every console cycle works. In 7 years we'll have something twice as complex as Bananza and go HOW DOES THIS RUN ON THIS HARDWARE?!?!?

I think I found my next The Witness/Viewfinder style game.

3 DAYS UNTIL BONANA

I don't know who needs to hear this, but A HANDS-ON IS NOT A REVIEW. A review is when you spend ample time with a device and can pick out positive and negative points through EXPERIENCE with the device. A hands-on is just a first impressions piece.

The large graph does make you appreciate the difference.

The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is not only real, but it's out *NOW* It's a limited edition black-and-green Meta Quest 3S that ships with an Elite Strap pre-installed, black-and-green Meta Quest Touch controllers, a special pre-paired Xbox controller, and 3 months of Gamepass

Haven't played the flat version but the VR version is pure joy. Might as well grab it if it's free!

Oakley Meta smart glasses are official! They're an upgrade on Ray-Ban Meta glasses with: -3K video resolution recording -Double the battery life (8 hours quoted) -Six frame choices with different lenses -Rx support $399/$499 pricepoints starting July 11

About time this kind of thing starts expanding to more sports!

Just found my new date night game! Thanks, @ianhamilton.net www.uploadvr.com/jigsaw-night...

Android XR smart ring controls, Samsung OLED on Silicon, new 6DoF Viture smart glasses, eye tracking without cameras, and Peridot's Google Maps "replacement" are just a fraction of what Android Central saw at AWE 2025. It's a great time to be in XR! www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtu...

Deadpool VR is official, and it's what Twisted Pixel has been working on since 2019! Michael Hicks got to go hands-on for us and got a surprisingly good amount of time with the game. #SummerGameFest www.androidcentral.com/gaming/vr-ga...

Want to know if the Nintendo Switch 2's display is safe for sensitive eyes? I just published my video testing for PWM dimming and dithering/FRC, and I'm generally pleased with what I see from Nintendo! #nintendoswitch2 youtu.be/mLJEmLG3IhA

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons first gameplay reveal is here! Resolution Games says this one is much more narrative/motivation focused than Demeo, including cut scenes, more dialogue, player choices, etc. It's coming to Quest and PS5/Steam later this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ww3...

It's a shame Mojang is incompetent when it comes to Minecraft VR, but at least we have excellent modders like QuestCraftXR to do it right. QuestCraft 6.0 launches on May 31, bringing native Minecraft JAVA back to the Quest, once again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=05tb...
