The fast-growing sport comes to the Meta Quest VR headset.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of Pickleball. A cross between tennis, badminton and ping-pong, the relatively unknown sport has recently exploded in popularity in the US and Canada. So it was only a matter of time before someone made a VR game based on the hit racket/paddle activity.
Available now via App Lab, Playing Pickleball promises an authentic Pickleball experience on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro headsets. According to the description, the game features realistic physics and sounds based on actual Pickleball gameplay, as well as scoring and rules taken directly from the USA Pickleball Association’s official rulebook.
If you’ve never played Pickleball before, the game is designed to be easy to pick up but hard to master. According to website, Playing Pickleball has a built-in tutorial designed to teach you the basics. Once you’ve mastered the game, compete in causal and ranked matches against artificial intelligence (AI) opponents as well as other players via online multiplayer. The game supports both singles and doubles matches, so you can team up with a friend.
“Playin Pickleball was designed to give existing players access to their favorite game, even in the off-season,” the official said website. “The game also makes it easy for VR players to be introduced to the sport with comprehensive tutorials and difficulty levels.”
