Joy Way released parkour-inspired VR game Stride back in 2021, bringing it to multiple VR platforms. Releasing numerous updates since then, the latest officially arrives this coming week. However, the studio has already soft-launched the new Stride multiplayer party mode for those eager to play now.

STRIDE: Fates Leaps Onto Meta Quest in a Few Weeks
STRIDE: Fates caused some controversy last month when it was announced. Designed as a freerunning single-player campaign, it was originally supposed to be part of Stride before Joy Way decided to separate the two. Now, a released date for Stride: Fates on Meta Quest headsets has been confirmed for November.
STRIDE: Fates Brings Parkour Adventure to Quest in 2023
In 2022, after a short early access period, Joy Way launched STRIDE. It was a parkour-themed game where you could run and leap across rooftops, shooting bad guys and setting speed runs. At the time, a campaign story mode was on the cards yet never seemed to materialise. Now it has, sort of. Joy Way has announced the sequel STRIDE: Fates, a “full-fledged separate game.”
Dead Hook Review: Eternally Demonic Action
Developers draw inspiration from all sorts of places with other videogames a common one. One franchise that’s always been admired and gleaned from is DOOM, with its wall-to-wall action, seemingly endless enemies and destructive weaponry. And that certainly seems to be the case with Joy Way’s latest title, a roguelike shooter called Dead Hook. In XR Source’s Dead Hook review, we find that for all the gun-toting action there’s little else driving this.
