Where to get it

Buy on Meta Quest, $39.99Wishlist on Steam▶ Watch the launch trailer

Quest 3 and Quest 3S only. Quest 2 and Quest Pro owners can buy it, but it will not boot. The Steam version for PC VR is due in the second half of 2027.

H3VR2, short for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2, is RUST LTD.'s single-player sequel to the VR gun sandbox H3VR. It came out on November 12, 2026 for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S at $39.99; Quest 2 and Quest Pro owners can buy it, but it will not boot on those headsets. The PC VR version on Steam is due in the second half of 2027, once a modding framework is finished. Its core mode, Facility, is an extraction shooter set in a procedurally generated megastructure, and the studio plans free updates alongside paid DLC for new modes and licensed content. This page tracks the price, the PC release, the reviews, the update roadmap and every H3VR2 story VR.org has published.

Release date: out now on Quest 3 and 3S

H3VR2 launched on November 12, 2026 on the Meta Horizon Store. It was revealed six months earlier, on May 6, at the Creature Feature & Friends showcase, where Road to VR reported it for Quest 3, Quest 3S and Steam with no date. Anton Hand, RUST LTD.'s CTO and the creator of the original, put the date on it in a release date Q&A video on September 23: November 12 at 10am Pacific, about "40 bucks," and 10 percent off for the whole preorder window. Mixed tied the announcement to Meta Connect, and UploadVR covered the date the same day.

The PC version is a separate, later release. Its Steam page still lists the date as To be announced, while RUST LTD.'s press kit gives SteamVR as "Second Half 2027." More on that below, and both versions sit on our release dates tracker.

Price: $39.99, with paid DLC planned

H3VR2 costs $39.99 on the Meta Horizon Store. Preorders opened at 10 percent off, $35.99, which VRDB's price tracker logs as the lowest price it has carried. For comparison, the original H3VR sells for $19.99 on Steam.

The $39.99 is not the whole story. Hand describes H3VR2 as a "pseudo-live service game, obviously, except single-player." Guns, tools, the enemy Sosigs and updates to the Facility mode come free. New game modes, sandbox packs and licensed content, "like cool stuff from a movie," will be paid DLC. No paid DLC has been announced yet; the plan puts the first one alongside the PC release. Our launch story has the full breakdown.

Quest 2 and Quest Pro: it will not boot

The store lists two headsets, Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Quest 2 and Quest Pro owners can still press buy, which is why Hand made a short video on that exact question: on those headsets the game "will not boot." If you are on a Quest 2, the cheapest way in is a Quest 3S; our Quest 3 vs Quest 3S comparison covers which one to get. One more catch if you pair Quest Pro controllers with a Quest 3: replying to a review on the store, RUST LTD. says they do not work yet because of an engine bug, with no timetable while it waits on Meta for a fix.

Hand spent years saying the first game could not run on standalone hardware, writing in 2019 that those devices "aren't in the same universe of powerful enough to run H3's physics/ballistics systems or rendering." H3VR2 is built for Quest 3-class chips from the start rather than ported down.

What is in it: Facility, the range and the sandbox

You play The Handy and drop into Facility, an endlessly reconfiguring megastructure. Each run is the same loop: grab a loadout, deploy, fight whatever lives there, load your loot and extract, then spend the haul building your armory for the next run. Launch ships the first biome, with five levels. The store lists four more modes around it: a Certification Range for new players, Competition, Arcade Shooting and a Sandbox, and the gun customization runs deep enough to have opinions about rail adapters. The enemies are Sosigs, the series' armed and armored hot dogs.

Three things did not make launch, according to Hand's third Q&A on November 4: arm-swinger locomotion, the cheats menu, and swapping hands for left-handed play. Arm swinging is the priority for the first update. He also flagged one bug due for the week-one update: change the reticle on a sight and then extract, and the extracted loot can be destroyed.

It is strictly single-player. Asked in the first H3VR2 featurette about multiplayer, PvP or co-op, Hand answered "100% no, it will not." The store rates it Intense for comfort, supports sitting, standing and roomscale play, needs no internet connection, and is a 2.77 GB download.

Reviews

The launch-day reviews are strong. Road to VR gave it 9.5, with a 10 for comfort, and UploadVR 4.5 stars out of 5. CGMagazine went lower at 8 and listed bugs, among them a crouch it could not always stand back up from and rooms with black voids that killed the player. Good Virtual Reality ran its review unscored, with an interview with Hand, and notes that gun jamming is not in the launch version but is on the roadmap.

Roadmap: free updates first, paid DLC with the PC version

"Our goal is to do two new biomes a year," Hand says, with shorter content drops in between and everything that makes Facility itself bigger arriving free, the way the first game was updated through a decade of Early Access. The paid side, new modes and licensed content, does not start until the second half of 2027. The full videos are on Hand's YouTube channel: the release date Q&A and Q&A 3.

The PC VR version on Steam

H3VR2 is not a Quest exclusive. Hand said in the first featurette that there were no exclusivity requirements in the studio's deal with Meta, which Road to VR reported gave the project "a significant amount of support." The PC build is due in the second half of 2027 and gets work of its own: higher resolution environment textures, support for the wide range of PC headsets the first game covered, and the modding framework, which Hand says has to be done before it launches because of how the game is built. How far the framework goes, which platform it uses and whether it reaches standalone headsets at all are still open. The studio plans testing groups covering the main PC headsets in the meantime.

The PC work also includes scaling down for standalone headsets like Valve's Steam Frame, which can run x86 PC games through emulation. In a Steam Frame Day devlog on September 14, Hand said the studio had made no final decision on whether there will be a native Steam Frame build, and that the PC version will probably run acceptably in emulation. There will be no version on Meta's old PC store, and cross-buy between the Quest and Steam versions has not been announced.

H3VR vs H3VR2

The guns are the constant. Both games model every moving part, which is why the first one spent a decade as a reason to own a gaming PC for VR. What changed is the structure: H3VR was a sandbox with modes bolted on over the years, and H3VR2 is built around a run-based loop from day one. Our look at the original's 1.0 release covers how it got there.

Who makes it

RUST LTD. makes both games. Anton Hand, who created the original H3VR, is the studio's CTO; its site lists Adam Sulzdorf-Liszkiewicz as CEO, Lucas Miller as President and Luke Noonan as co-founder. H3VR2 is published with Creature, the label behind the Creature Feature showcase. Hand puts the team at "basically like 20 people" in the first featurette. One of them is Zach Tsiakalis-Brown, the developer of Vertigo, who Road to VR reported has worked on H3VR2 since early 2024 and built its procedural level generator, player controller, hand interaction and firearm simulation systems, and the Sosigs' visuals and AI. Meta's own launch interview with Hand covers how the game came together.
