Smash-Hit ‘Besiege’ Gets VR Makeover for Meta Quest in New Teaser
Big news for VR fans—‘Besiege,’ that crazy physics sandbox game we’ve all lost hours to, is getting a full-on virtual reality rebuild for the Meta Quest. The team at 3R Games, who already crushed it with ‘Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street’ (350,000 copies sold, no big deal), is behind this one. They’re taking the medieval machine-building chaos that made ‘Besiege’ a PC legend and dropping us right into the driver’s seat.
If you’ve somehow missed it, ‘Besiege’ first blew up back in 2015 during early access, cooked up by Spiderling Studios. It’s all about crafting wild war machines—like catapults or rolling death traps—and letting them loose in a destructible 3D world. By the time it fully launched in 2020, it had racked up over 4 million copies sold across platforms. Steam users can’t get enough either, giving it a 95% positive rating from more than 44,000 reviews. Pretty much “Overwhelmingly Positive” territory.
Now, with ‘Besiege VR,’ 3R Games is cranking things up. Imagine feeling every crash and smash through haptic feedback, hearing the chaos in full 3D audio, and tinkering with your contraptions using a slick new VR-friendly interface. It’s not just a port—they’re rebuilding it from scratch to make sure it feels right in virtual reality. I mean, who doesn’t want to smash a castle wall stone by stone with their own hands?
The folks at 3R Games know their stuff too. After their success with ‘Thief Simulator VR’ and their upcoming caving adventure ‘Cave Crave,’ they’ve got the chops to pull this off. ‘Besiege’ already has a cult following for its mix of creativity and destruction—think ‘MythBusters’ meets medieval warfare—so putting us inside that world sounds like a no-brainer.
No word yet on an exact release date, but knowing it’s coming to Meta Quest has me itching to strap on a headset. Between this and other VR gems popping up, 2025’s shaping up to be a wild year for gaming. Time to start practicing my siege engine skills.
