'X8' Leaving Early Access, Gets Meta Quest And PC VR Release Date, PSVR 2 And Pico To Follow - Screens & Trailer

X8 is a 5v5 VR multiplayer hero shooter where each hero has access to three special abilities and their hero-specific items offer situational advantages.

Set in a world where a digital cataclysm has forced a reboot of all contemporary shooters, X8 players embody a variety of distinct heroes with interactive abilities and unique items, and engage in battle against one another as they fight to restore a path back to their respective realms.

Synergize your gunplay with versatile hero abilities -- activate turrets, tripwires, smokes, and more to gain the competitive edge. Additionally, pick from an extensive arsenal of weapons and armor to customize your loadout before each round.

Compete in 5v5 Demolition matches, taking turns to Attack and Defend by planting or defusing the ‘Syphon’ across maps designed for team tactics and creative strategies. Show off your skills, put your teamwork to the test, and conquer your opponents on the battlefield.

Executing its directive to assemble worthy opponents, the rogue mod X8 has collected heroes from across different game franchises. With the arena set, the only way out is to fight.
