Timeline
VMX launched on Meta Quest platforms on October 2, 2026.
Season Trajectory
The game utilizes the Meta Quest 3 gesture-tracking framework to translate real-world physical motions into in-game maneuvers. This release follows the pattern of developers leveraging existing motion-tracking capabilities to increase immersion in digital sports titles.
Players can immediately access multiplayer sessions to compete against others using the same gesture-control system. Users should select the Immersive mode if they prefer full motion control or the Comfort setting to mitigate potential motion sickness during high-speed play.
The takeaway
Gamers looking to simulate real-world biking tricks should calibrate their play space to ensure physical gestures can be performed safely. Utilizing the earned currency system allows players to customize their avatar with gear that reflects their in-game performance milestones.
