Apple just shipped open-source spatial plugins for Unity, Unreal, and Godot on GitHub, with CompositorServices support for custom engines on top. For a company famous for walled gardens, officially backing a community-built engine is a genuine surprise.

XOCUS is launching Omega Pilot Evolution on Quest, PSVR2, and Pico this month, a futuristic anti-gravity racer with combat, weapons, and unmistakable Wipeout DNA. VR has needed a great arcade racer for years. This might finally be it.

The UploadVR Showcase returns June 12, kicking off VR's summer showcase season. After a rough month of gutted roadmaps and missing launch games, here is one player's wishlist.

X-Plane Streaming Link and iRacing Connect are now live on the visionOS App Store, streaming both sims from your PC with foveated rendering at up to 120FPS. The standout feature: passthrough blends your physical yoke, wheel, and pedals directly into the virtual cockpit.
