RACECLUB
Developer & Platform
- Developed by Mixer Lab, a European studio specializing in immersive VR experiences, previously known for a project called Project-E.
- Available in Early Access on Meta Quest (Quest 2, 3, and 3S).
- Multiplayer and additional content are planned as part of ongoing early access updates.
Cars / Vehicles
- Features two distinct car classes: Formula V12 — an F1-style beast with a roaring 12-cylinder engine, described as fast, sharp, and brutally responsive — and Formula Electric, inspired by next-gen Formula E design with instant electric torque, regenerative braking, advanced aerodynamics, and multiple power modes.
Gameplay & Tracks
- Bills itself as the most realistic driving simulation on the Meta Quest, built around accurate physics and precision lap times.
- Circuits are themed and vary in environment, ranging from sun-baked desert tracks to snow-capped mountain settings, each demanding different driving techniques.
- Features a hotlap mode focused on time trials and chasing personal bests, as well as global leaderboards for competitive play.
- Gameplay centers on practice, precision, and repetition rather than a story-driven campaign.
Reception & Context
- Tracking on the Meta Quest store began around November 2024, with a wider release window in early 2026.
- Reviewers noted it strikes a good balance between accessibility and driving depth, praising its physics and hotlap mode, though its early access content level is noted as a limitation.
- It arrived at a time when high-quality standalone VR racing games are considered rare, filling a notable gap on the Meta Quest store alongside other early access racers like Driven.
