The summer of gaming continues with UploadVR Summer Showcase 2024, an hour-long gaming showcase packed with new Meta Quest games hitting virtual shelves over the next few months.

Metal: Hellsinger VR is basically what happens if you take Doom to a heavy metal concert. It’s a new brand of musical wonder like you’ve never experienced before, even if you’ve already played the original Metal: Hellsinger. Breaking up has a whole new meaning.
Pistol Whip can be THE The definitive fast-paced action/adventure game on Quest right now, but Metal: Hellsinger is looking to make a name for itself with this total VR remake of the newly minted classic. Blast your way through hellish levels with a pounding metal soundtrack, shooting fast and getting bonus points for your musical talent.

Battle talent
Battle Talent is getting a massive new multiplayer update, further enhancing its critically acclaimed roguelike gameplay by adding friends to the mix. There’s no doubt that people will draw Dungeons of Eternity similarities to the game now that it supports 4-player multiplayer, but that’s certainly not a bad thing from my perspective.
As a rogue, you’ll team up and fight your way through an endless number of dungeons, looting along the way until you eventually die. This loot is then turned into a base where you can upgrade your stats, weapons and armor, collecting over 100 weapons, 60 perks and fighting 80 different types of enemies.
Plus, Meta Quest 3 players now have access to a brand new mixed reality mode that will have goblins jumping off your couch. It’s so much fun and the new update makes it even better!

Infinite Within
Infinite Inside is a spectacle of a mixed reality game that combines two different worlds in one fascinating adventure puzzle game. Based on the previous demo, each level begins in your physical room with a small tower sticking out of the floor. You’ll need to search in and around the tower for puzzle pieces, eventually assembling them to create the key to unlock the tower’s entrance.
Once that happens, you’ll be transported inside the tower, and that’s where the real fun comes in. While the puzzle part of the game is certainly fun, the exploration of the tower from the inside is even more amazing.
I picked up the game a few months ago and was blown away by how smooth and surreal the transition between my living room and the virtual world is, further enhanced by the fact that you warp IN virtual tower in front of you once you’ve unlocked its entrance. This will be out for just one month, so you won’t have to wait long to experience it!

Overseer of the underworld
Have you ever played the classic PC strategy game Dungeon Keeper back in the day? If so, the Overseer of the Underworld is JUST what you’ve been hoping for, as it feels a lot like a VR version of Dungeon Keeper. Plus, it’s made by the same people who brought us the beloved Deisim, a game that evokes the feelings of classic strategy games like Black & White and Civilization.
The game includes 18 levels, each of which takes about 20-25 minutes to complete. Plus, completing each level unlocks a hard version to play next, giving strategy fans something to really test their skills.
I’ve actually been playing an early build of Underworld Overseer for the past month and have been thoroughly impressed with its quality. I’m a huge Dungeon Keeper fan and loved playing the games when I was younger. Being able to pick up creatures with my bare hands and move them around quickly is a micro-management dream come true.
Plus, the expertise of the team from Deisim shines through, giving this a truly built-for-VR feel rather than just feeling like a classic game ported to a VR interface. And it has incredible visual flair, with the cleanest visuals I have EVER seen in Quest 3. I seriously can’t believe how sharp and clean it looks!
Underworld Overseer launches later this year on October 31st.
Smash Drums
Smash Drums is already one of the best Meta Quest games you can buy, and part of that is due to the hard work that developer MrPotam puts in. Today’s Freakin Rock Show update features single and multiplayer improvements and is available now for the Meta Quest Platform.
Solo mode now features significantly improved stadiums to play in, including crowds that wave and cheer, as well as lights that sync to the music. As you might expect, things just get wilder as you get better at the game. Plus, there’s a host of new mixed reality enhancements to bring those stadium lights into your room. Additional effects have also been added to multiplayer arenas, helping to enhance your already exciting music-making sessions.
The Pop Rock Legends DLC arrives on July 8th and will feature a bunch of popular punk rock songs for just a few bucks. Smash Drums regularly has updates and new DLC packs, ensuring there’s always new music to hit.

Laser Dance
Cubist creator Thomas Van Bouwel is back with Laser Dance, a mixed reality game with some serious Mission Impossible vibes. Step into the shoes of a secret agent and step through a field of lasers that magically appear in the room you’re physically in. Is one LOT different kind of puzzle game from cubism as it requires not only your hands and mind this time but your whole body to complete it.

Ember Souls
While the name might immediately conjure up thoughts of a Dark Souls VR game, this is actually Price of Persia VR. Perhaps more specifically, Ember Souls feels like the VR port of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time with its time warping abilities, epic parkour cutscenes, and tricky puzzles to solve along the way.
The combat looks impressive, and the trailer notes that players will make their way through beautiful Persian palaces with ornate visuals that push the limits of the Meta Quest hardware. Ember Souls debuts this fall.

Coaster Mania
Roller Coaster Tycoon fans, unite! This mixed reality roller coaster building game features over 50 different levels to complete in a full campaign mode, or you can just build to your heart’s content – as long as physics is on your side, of course. Plus, riding a coaster you’ve personally built is a whole different feeling.

Caliber zero 2
Few VR games feature the level of polish and believably scripted sequences you’ll see in Zero Caliber 2. It’s the Call of Duty VR you’ve been waiting for, and its immersive, tens-of-hours campaign will have you grinding your teeth throughout. . It’s incredibly intense and will regularly blow your mind with what’s going on.
While it’s definitely a direct sequel to the original Zero Caliber, you don’t need to have played the first game to have a good time here. People who played the original will understand the story better, of course, but the excellent voice acting and well-written sequences will impress everyone, regardless of past experiences.
I’ve had the chance to play the full game and I’ve been beyond impressed with what I got to play. I thought I’d tired of shooters earlier this year, but games like Zero Caliber 2 have shown me that there’s plenty of room for high-quality gameplay, even if the experience may feel familiar at first.

Bounce Arcade
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be WITHIN of a pinball machine, you’re in luck because Bounce Arcade answers that very question. Rack up high scores as you complete some serious training by embodying the flips you’ll find inside a pinball machine, all while completing mini-games and having a total blast.
Bounce Arcade is coming this fall.
Astro Hunters
What happens when you mix Ghosts of Tabor with No Man’s Sky? You get Astro Hunters, of course! Team up with other players and clear the planets, but be careful because you can’t really trust anyone. It is entirely possible to dispatch other players and steal their gear and loot, especially on those more valuable expeditions. If I die, I lose it all!

explosion
There’s no shortage of post-apocalyptic games and movies, but The Burst breathes some fresh air into the genre by fusing some of Mirror’s Edge’s high-intensity parkour with a Mad Max vibe. It’s an incredible mix of concepts that looks fantastic and is coming later this summer.

Cool VR
Everyone loves SUPERHOT VR. It’s the essential “must play” game in Quest besides Beat Saber. If you haven’t played it before, the concept is that time moves when you play it. Stand still, plan your attack and move in for the kill. So what does this have to do with VR COLD? Everything, really.
COLD VR is, essentially, SUPERHOT VR in reverse. In COLD VR, standing still is a death wish as time moves the moment it stops. Keep moving and you’ll be like Neo from The Matrix, always outmaneuvering and outmaneuvering your opponents before they can act. It’s the spiritual successor to SUPERHOT VR that we’ve been looking for!
COLD VR is coming later this year, but you can play a demo on Steam right now.
