Thirdverse has recently launched X8 as a free-to-play title on the Meta Quest Store. Compatible with Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2, this 5v5 VR hero shooter lets you play as a variety of heroes, each with their own interactive abilities and unique items. With the success of X8 ever-growing, Thirdverse are now looking to their next milestone: launching X8 on PSVR 2.
Developed by a passionate team of industry veterans, X8 provides a VR experience to lovers of first-person tactical hero shooters. Thirdverse built X8 with the intention of fostering a thriving community of players, which is why they chose a free-to-play model on Meta Quest to ensure everyone has a chance to compete and succeed. In addition, Thirdverse has already started to establish VR esports and hopes to grow this community through X8.
“We set out to make a game that is fast-paced, immersive, and strategic to create a truly unique hero-shooter game,” said Thirdverse CBO and Executive Producer on X8 Masaru Ohnogi. “We’re committed to the long term operations of X8, and so… we’ll be providing updates in the game based on user feedback, including ranked games, new maps, heroes and game modes as well as social features, increased VR interactions and battle pass.”
X8 on Meta Quest
Meta Quest players can access an exclusive discounted Founder’s pack called “Mythos.” This features four new weapons. Simply download X8 on the official Meta Quest store before 7th December, 2023, and access the pack for 25% off. The pack includes:
- Knife: ‘Evenstar’.
- Pistol: ‘Prelude’.

Forged of Atlantean Ores and assembled by skilled eremite hands, these weapons were designed for X8 players to bring down the mightiest of Demi-gods.
X8 is available now for Meta Quest headsets and PCVR. The PSVR 2 and PICO versions of the game have also been confirmed as ‘coming soon’. However, no specific dates have been given for these launches.
