Whenever a huge IP from film or TV gets turned into a videogame there’s always that thought of fan service. Whether a project will stick heavily to the source material or try to do its own original thing within that universe. We’ve seen the likes of Peaky Blinders: A King’s Ransom evoke its source TV show very well, without neglecting newcomers too much. We were hoping for something similar with Tender Claws’ Stranger Things VR. But as we found in our review, Stranger Things VR is a fan service through and through.

Stranger Things VR Welcomes you back to Hawkins Today
February has been a decent month for new VR games, with the likes of MADiSON VR and Ghosts of Tabor arriving. As the month draws to a close one of the most highly anticipated games for Meta Quest lands today. And that’s Tender Claws’ Stranger Things VR.
Stranger Things VR Turns Meta Quest Upside Down in 3 Weeks
We might all be excited for Metro Awakening VR coming later this year but there’s another huge IP just around the corner.

So here are XR Source’s most anticipated VR games of 2024.
The Inevitable Rise of the VR Pre-order
The ability to pre-order videogames has seemingly been around forever. The idea is that developers and publishers offer a tantalising cherry – a small discount or exclusive in-game merch, for example – to attract gamers while getting guaranteed sales before launch. We’ve all done it, my most recent being The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, while the standard videogame industry takes pre-orders to ever more ludicrous highs, VR is only just getting on the pre-order bandwagon.
All the New VR Games Coming in November
