August 15, 2026: Flat2VR Studios and Squanch Games have announced an official VR port of High on Life, bringing the 2022 comedic sci-fi shooter to Meta Quest, PC VR, and PSVR 2 next year. The announcement arrived during the VR Games Showcase, making it the clearest cross-platform story in today’s roundup.
The showcase also provided a new look at XREAL Games’ tactical shooter COVR, which is scheduled for PC VR and Meta Quest in 2026. Alongside those larger announcements, The Lightkeepers received a Quest launch date and price, while Meta collected the wider showcase lineup in its own recap.
High on Life Brings Its Sci-Fi Comedy to Three VR Platforms
Source: Road to VR
Flat2VR Studios revealed during the VR Games Showcase that it is collaborating with Squanch Games on an official VR version of High on Life. The project is described as another flatscreen-to-VR effort from Flat2VR Studios, this time adapting the comedic sci-fi shooter originally released in 2022.
The supported platforms are Meta Quest, PC VR, and PSVR 2, with the port planned for next year. That combination gives the announcement wider reach than a release tied to one headset family: Quest owners, PC VR players, and PSVR 2 users are all included in the supplied platform announcement.
The timing also places High on Life among the showcase’s more notable future releases. The announcement is official, but the source packet does not provide a specific launch date beyond “next year,” so the project remains a release to watch rather than one with a confirmed day on the calendar.
COVR Offers Another Tactical-Shooter Watch for 2026
Sources: UploadVR and Tech Times
XREAL Games has shown a new look at COVR, its upcoming tactical shooter. The Budapest studio is also known for Zero Caliber, and the new game is confirmed for PC VR through SteamVR and Meta Quest in 2026. UploadVR’s coverage presents it as a “next-gen” VR shooter, while Tech Times describes the project as a VR milsim.
The timing is notable because Meta ended development of Onward in June 2025. Tech Times characterizes COVR as filling the hardcore tactical-shooter gap left by that decision, although that is an interpretation of the project’s position in the market rather than a confirmed statement about how players will respond to it.
Tech Times’ headline also describes COVR as harder than Onward. The supplied coverage does not include supporting gameplay details that establish that comparison, so it is best treated as headline framing for now. What is confirmed is the developer, the connection to Zero Caliber, the supported platforms, and the 2026 timing.
The Lightkeepers Sets a September Quest Launch

Lovecraftian VR co-op game The Lightkeepers will launch on September 10 for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. The price is set at $19.99, with those details confirmed during the August 2026 VR Games Showcase.
That gives the game a more concrete position in the roundup than the projects announced only for 2026 or next year. Quest 3 and Quest 3S owners have a specific date and price to consider, while owners of other headsets are not included in the supported-device information supplied here.
Meta’s Showcase Recap Puts the Announcements in Context

Meta’s recap presents the August 2026 VR Games Showcase as a broad collection of upcoming VR titles. The Meta Store calls it a “huge list” of games intended to keep players busy, but the roundup’s clearest individual signals come from the specific projects: High on Life expanding across Quest, PC VR, and PSVR 2; COVR targeting Quest and SteamVR; and The Lightkeepers arriving on Quest 3 and Quest 3S on September 10.
Taken together, the announcements show different kinds of movement across the VR market. High on Life is a multi-platform adaptation with a broad headset footprint. COVR is a new tactical shooter from a studio with a connection to Zero Caliber. The Lightkeepers is the most immediately scheduled of the three, with both its release date and price available.
