BEATABLE: Innovative Hand-Tracking Rhythm Game for Quest with a Brilliant Concept

XR Games, well-known for titles like “Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded” and “Starship Troopers Continuum,” both released in 2024, have unveiled an exciting new rhythm game titled “BEATABLE” for the Quest platform. What sets this game apart is its innovative use of hand-tracking to transform any tabletop surface into a musical playground.

Usually, blending your physical space with a virtual one tends to enhance immersion significantly, as it adds an extra layer of believable experience by allowing you to ‘feel’ the virtual world around you.

BEATABLE takes this concept even further by turning your own table into a musical instrument. With just your hands, you can tap, snap, and clap along to the beat, creating a kind of “real-world haptics” that traditional, controller-based rhythm games simply can’t replicate.

In BEATABLE, you won’t need any controllers at all. The game relies solely on hand-tracking and promises quick calibration for accurate and responsive gameplay—an essential feature when trying to hit every beat perfectly.

A notable contributor to the game’s development is VR YouTuber and rhythm action aficionado ‘Naysy.’ She has provided valuable gameplay insights to XR Games and even features in the game’s trailer.

Reflecting on her experience, Naysy shared, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been this hooked on a rhythm game. I absolutely love VR rhythm games, and I think BEATABLE offers a fresh twist to the genre. The physical interaction combined with hand tracking feels like a natural match, creating a truly enjoyable and immersive experience. I’m truly in love with this game and can’t wait for everyone to try it.”

Mark your calendars: BEATABLE is set to debut in early access on April 10th, available on Quest 2 and later models. You can pre-order now and enjoy a 10% discount, making the game just $9.
