September 18, 2026: CleanSheet Soccer 2, a new goalkeeping soccer game, arrived on Quest today, according to UploadVR. The launch leads a compact set of VR and smart-glasses updates that also touches Gaussian-splat viewing, standalone AR glasses, a 2D-to-3D revenge thriller, and classroom driving support.

CleanSheet Soccer 2 Takes The Pitch On Quest Today centers on the goalkeeper rather than the broader field action of a conventional soccer game. The supplied announcement identifies it as a new goalkeeping soccer game and confirms that it arrived on Quest on September 18, 2026.

That makes the release one of today’s clearest Quest-specific updates. The available information does not include pricing, developer details, compatibility by headset model, or further gameplay features, so the launch is best understood simply as a new goalkeeping-focused addition to the Quest platform.

Viewing Gaussian splats on Quest

UploadVR also published The Best Ways To View Gaussian Splats On Quest, a practical rundown of apps and tools for viewing Gaussian splats on a Quest headset. Unlike the CleanSheet Soccer 2 item, this is not presented as a new game launch. It is a guide to the ways Quest users can view this type of 3D capture or visual content.

Keeping the two UploadVR stories together gives today’s Quest coverage two distinct angles: one new goalkeeping game and one explainer focused on available viewing tools. The supplied material does not identify particular Quest models or claim that every headset supports every tool, so the guide remains the useful reference point for readers interested in Gaussian splats.

SPECS standalone AR glasses could narrow the gap with VR headsets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRXizAOaXnM Smart glasses and VR headsets currently occupy noticeably different parts of the market, leaving room for a manufacturer to address the gap between them. The SPECS standalone AR glasses are presented as a possible answer to that divide, with the potential to offer an alternative to the bulk associated with VR headsets.

The important qualification is that this remains a possibility, not an established market result. SPECS could undercut VR headsets or fill a gap between lightweight smart glasses and more substantial immersive hardware, but the supplied report does not establish pricing, final capabilities, or how the glasses compare with particular headsets.

I Am Your Beast VR brings a revenge thriller into VR

I Am Your Beast VR Puts You at the Center of the Manhunt Today is described as the second effort in a 2D-to-3D project. The revenge thriller is entering VR today, giving the announcement a clear transition from an existing 2D-to-3D effort into the newest dimension.

The source material does not specify supported headsets or describe the technical changes made for VR. What it does establish is the project’s position as a revenge thriller and its status as the second effort in that 2D-to-3D work.

VR beyond entertainment

Barnsley College will give 200 students access to a VR driving simulator and provide support with their driving test. This places VR in a practical education setting, where the simulator is connected to driving preparation rather than gaming or consumer headset use.

The announcement is notable for its scale within the college: 200 students are included, and the simulator is paired with driving-test support. The supplied evidence does not provide further details about the simulator, the training schedule, or the specific driving skills covered.
