RealBat Cricket VR is physics-based VR cricket for Meta Quest: face real swing, seam and spin with a real bat or a Touch controller.
Short (about 50 words)
RealBat Cricket VR puts you at the crease on Meta Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Every delivery is simulated physics, from swing and seam to spin and bounce, and the bat's sweet spot comes from its weight and shape. Bat with a controller or a real bat. Try it free in the Quest browser.
Long (about 120 words)
RealBat Cricket VR is a virtual reality cricket game built around one idea: the ball is not on rails. Its flight is worked out 240 times a second, with drag, swing and Magnus-effect spin, so pace bowlers swing and seam it and spinners drift it and turn it off the pitch. Where, and how fast, the bat meets the ball decides the shot: a middled drive flies, a thick edge goes to third man. Players can strap the Touch controller to their own bat, or put two controllers on one bat for steadier tracking. Bat a ten-over innings at RealBat Stadium or the Colosseum against a full fielding side, chase scores in Auto-fire, or practise in the nets. It is $14.99 on the Meta Horizon Store, with a free demo in the Quest browser.
Features
- Real ball physics: the ball's flight is computed 240 times a second: drag, swing, seam movement, Magnus-effect spin and the bounce off the pitch.
- A real sweet spot: worked out from the bat's weight and shape. The middle, the edge, the toe and the handle each play differently, each with its own sound and controller buzz.
- Your own bat: strap the controller to a real bat and lock it to an outline once; two controllers on one bat are blended so the blade stays steady.
- Bowling to read: pace, swing, seam, off-spin, leg-spin and left-arm, with bowlers who work to a plan and a new bowler every over.
- A full side against you: fielders who chase, dive and catch; a keeper who stumps; an umpire who gives LBW, with ball tracking on the big screen.
- Your body: seven batsmen to choose from, with pads and an optional helmet you can see.
- Three ways to play: ten-over Match, Auto-fire (Rapid 2 minutes or Normal 3 minutes) and unlimited Nets at High Peak.
- Three grounds: RealBat Stadium, the Colosseum (gladiators in the field, a meteor storm from the fifth or sixth over) and the High Peak nets.
- Leaderboards: for every ground, mode and difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard).
What makes it different
RealBat simulates the ball's flight and the bat's sweet spot instead of scripting them, so batting rewards the same things it does in the nets: reading the ball from the hand, getting to the pitch of it, and meeting it in the middle. It is also the only VR cricket game, to our knowledge, that you can play straight from the Quest browser with nothing to install.
