Ultrawings Remastered
Ultrawings Remastered
One of the friendliest flying games in VR, rebuilt for Quest 3 with a fully open world, new water, skies, lighting and haptics. You fly little aircraft with your own hands on the stick and throttle, popping balloons, racing through rings and landing on tricky spots. Bright, cheerful and very approachable.
Based on published information, not hands-on play
Ultrawings comes from Bit Planet Games, a small independent studio. The original game first appeared on PC VR in 2017 and reached Quest in 2019, where it built up a strong reputation as a gentle, hobbyist flying game. At the end of October 2026 the studio released Ultrawings Remastered, a new version built specifically for Meta Quest 3 and 3S, alongside Ultrawings 2: Gold Edition.
The idea has not changed. You sit in the cockpit of a small aircraft and fly it by reaching out and gripping the virtual stick and throttle with your hands, then flicking switches and checking instruments. There are four aircraft to unlock, from a simple ultralight to a quick racer, and four colourful islands to explore. More than 200 missions ask you to pop balloons, fly through score rings, race, land on small targets and take photos, and you earn money to buy new airports and aircraft. A voice guides you through the basics, which helps younger players.
According to the developer, the remaster is based on the more detailed PC version. The whole world is now open at once instead of loading one island at a time, and it adds real-time shadows, new skies, water and music, more wildlife such as orcas and dolphins, improved controller haptics and a photo mode with zoom. Pictures taken in free flight can be framed as postcards of the island.
This is a separate app from the original Quest version, which is still on the store for older headsets. We could not confirm whether owners of the original get a discount, so check before you buy.
This review is based on the store listings, the developer’s own comments and published coverage, not on hands-on play. The remaster is too new to have many player ratings yet, but the original holds 4.0 out of 5 from around 1,200 Quest players.
