Are packed with first-party adventures that you can play with friends and strangers alike. As ‘Run the Block’ drops onto the social VR platform’s latest offering, it’s clear that Dreamcast nostalgia runs deep. The game takes a bold step back to the 90s with its pixelated visuals and addictive gameplay.
The ‘Run the Block’ multiplayer mini-game successfully debuted on December 11th, having quickly gained popularity among more than one million players.
In this freemium game, you compete against up to nine opponents in a thrilling test of racing and parkour skills, navigating through a sprawling urban landscape.
While lacking the defining features of early 2000s aggressive rollerblading, players will still experience exhilarating movement, from running and jumping to grinding on vast tracks across the map, where they’ll have the freedom to leave their mark with personalized tags amidst the city’s vibrant graffiti landscape?
In comparison to preceding years, the platform has released a relatively limited number of first-party video games in recent times, with its most substantial contribution being the pet farming simulation game “My Little Monster” thus far.
The platform has successfully integrated branded content, such as avatar packs from the ‘Monster High’ franchise and Bungie’s first-person shooter series. Meanwhile, it appears to have dedicated the year to refining its creator suite, empowering users not only to craft intricate worlds but also to produce assets they can monetize within the game’s creator economy. The feature has also introduced full-body avatars earlier this year, offering a significant expansion of customization options.
Following its release on Nintendo Switch in November, it now joins a long list of supported platforms, including PC VR, all Quest devices, original PSVR, iOS, Android, Pico, Xbox, and PlayStation.
