Oh man, so I stumbled across this thing about “Into the Radius 2” yesterday. It’s like this epic game, right? But not just any game—it’s a co-op sequel to some post-apocalyptic shooter that people went nuts over. The PC crowd has been all over it since July 2024. Now they’re saying it’s dropping on Quest soon. Exciting times if you’re into VR—or just like pretending the world is a wasteland, which, I dunno, maybe we all secretly enjoy?
Okay, so here’s the scoop: It’s hitting Quest 3 and 3S in early access on May 21st. Full version’s supposed to come out next year. Fingers crossed. Like the first “Into the Radius” from 2020 (feels like five lifetimes ago), you’re plunked into these crazy exclusion zones fighting these spooky ‘Pechorsk’ anomalies. (Honestly, “Pechorsk” sounds like the name of an overpriced artisanal cheese—but nope, deadly anomalies. Fun, right?)
They’ve got all the real-world guns and tactical stuff your little gamer heart could desire, plus some weirdly strong artifacts. But get this, the big twist this time? Co-op! Now it’s you and a buddy against the world, with plans to expand to four players eventually. How’d they not think of this sooner? Anyway, no crossplay planned between the PC VR and Quest 3, which seems like a bummer, but maybe there’s a method to the madness. Or maybe they just forgot? Who knows.
Another thing—this game’s a cash cow. Nearly $3 million on PC VR alone, over half in the first week. Seriously, people are thirsty for VR wastelands, I guess. So, the Quest release? Yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. They’re gonna print money. Trust me on this one.
And oh, there’s no listing on the Horizon Store yet. Classic. If you’re itching to dive into this chaos and need tips or tricks on gear and whatnot, they’ve got a full explainer out there somewhere. No idea where exactly, but hey, those are details for future me—or you—to worry about.
Anyway, there you go. Don’t say I never told you anything interesting. Or, you know, at least mildly entertaining.
