Several new games are coming to Meta VR Glasses as early as spring 2027, alongside major updates to existing games.
The big announcement at Meta Connect 2026 is the spring 2027 release of Meta VR Glasses, a new VR device in a comfortable glasses form factor that Meta describes as “a cinema, workspace, and console in one.” And from a gaming perspective, Meta’s new device seems promising.
Meta VR Glasses runs the same OS as Quest, and every Quest game will be playable on Meta VR Glasses. The primary SKU doesn’t come with controllers, but bundles will be sold with controllers through some retail channels, and it works with Meta’s Touch Plus controllers (which can be also purchased separately).
A slew of new games and updates for existing ones was announced alongside the hardware reveal. Here are all of the newly announced games coming to Meta’s next VR device:
Beat Saber: Flux is the biggest update ever released for one of the most popular VR games ever made. It brings a new hand-tracking game mode to Beat Saber, allowing the entire game to be playable without controllers. Beat Saber: Flux launches with 35 songs, and optional controller support. The update also revises the game’s campaign and progression and rewards systems, adding earnable sabers, notes, and profile badges.
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies VR is a VR adaptation of Capcom’s long-running series. Dual Destinies VR puts players in the shoes of the titular Ace Attorneys Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes, through whom you’ll investigate immersive 3D crime scenes, build your case, and then take it to court. Hand-tracking gestures will allow you to present evidence, point at witnesses to catch them in lies, and voice-activation will hear when you shout “Objection!!” Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies VR is coming in 2027 to Meta VR Glasses and to Meta Quest.
Tetris Effect: Mixed Realities is a hand-controlled, room-aware mixed reality version of Tetris Effect. Coming in 2027, Tetris Effect: Mixed Realities makes ample use of Meta VR Glasses’ more interesting features, using the geometry of your room, lighting, visual effects, and passthrough camera to transform the world around you as you engage with no-controllers-required Tetris. It’s coming in 2027.
