The folks at @MetaVR_Official were a bit sneaky and kind of unveiled a VR Gaming Showcase throughout Meta Connect 2026. I compiled it here. Ten titles featured and some absolute bangers.

For Castlevania's 40th birthday, the original game is now available for a limited time for free on Google Play and iOS App Store. In English the title is Castlevania: 40th Anniversary.
🚕🔥 I'm working on a new mod: Crazy Taxi VR Standalone!
The first beta is already pretty far along and, honestly, I'm loving how it's turning out! 🤯
Before releasing it, there's one thing I really want to try that could completely change the experience: adding a first-person mode so you can drive the taxi from inside the car in VR. 🚕🥽
If I can get it working the way I want, it's going to be absolutely crazy. 🔥
More news coming very soon!
XREAL Aura is the best Optical See Through AR/VR HMD I have tried. Steam Frame is the most open VR HMD I have tried. Apple Vision Pro is the most cohesive product VR HMD I have tried. Meta VR Glasses seem to be a great quality video passthrough device. Excited for PICO Space Pro.
Just announced at Meta Connect... 👀
Tetris® Effect: Mixed Realities is a mind-blowing reinvention of Tetris Effect, using the full power of MR and the absorbing gameplay of Tetris to transport you to magical, musical realms.
Your room transforms into a deep-sea aquarium, remote space station, and more, as you build—Tetrimino by Tetrimino—gateways to other dimensions that blur the line between the real and the virtual.
Coming exclusively to Meta VR Glasses and Meta Quest 3/S in 2027.

While I understand that the Muse mascot's butt is quality content, I didn't see a lot of from the folks at Meta regarding when the Connect keynote and developer sessions start. Keynote is scheduled for 4pm Pacific (about 90 min from now).

Meta's Connect Developer State of the Union will be tomorrow morning at 10am Pacific. piped.video/watch?v=EwIIOgEz…
Despite signing up for notifications as both a general livestream attendee and a developer, I received no information from Meta related to these times.
These thumbnail images may have been generated by AI but our commentary about today's Meta Connect keynote definitely won't be! My good friends @KingKola_ytb and @vrgamerdude are going to chat with me live during the keynote and we'll have a video out after with our opinions.
I don't have a Steam Frame yet but even without the hardware, Valve's engineers working on Proton, Lepton, FEX and optimizing Half-Life Alyx for an ARM based chipset have done impressive work on the software side of things that brings wins to anyone with a standalone VR headset.
Word on the streets is that the Sosig are angry and only VR players can use realistic weapons to defeat them. Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades 2 is launching on November 12 on Meta Quest with a Steam VR launch following in 2027.

It is a bit crazy that this works at all! I have installed Half-Life Alyx on my Quest 3S and it runs pretty well until it runs out of available memory on the headset around 10 minutes or so in. I played through the intro sequence until Alyx is captured. github.com/alferiko/alyx-jai…
Starting the game over, I haven't had it run out of memory again. Pretty impressive that I've made it into the quarantine zone and it is playable but not the ideal way I'd want to play it if that makes sense.

I just did a grand prix of Mario Kart in first person VR and had a complete blast! Check it out for PCVR or standalone Quest here github.com/iChris4/Wiicompil…
Tried out KRVR 2.0 on Vision OS 27 today for the first time and had a blast playing two of my recent favorite games, Fresh Tracks VR and I Am Your Beast VR. KRVR is one of my killer apps currently and v2.0 is much easier to tune to your tastes.
