About PilotXross
PilotXross is a VR flight racing game built for SteamVR, developed by its namesake studio and released on December 20 2030. You take control of a pilot equipped with a fictional device called Xross that alters how you maneuver through the sky. The focus is on speed and style, with leaderboards tracking your best times and social sharing of in-game photos. It’s a no-nonsense racing game that prioritizes adrenaline and precision over narrative. The single-player mode leans into competitive time trials and creative challenges. If you’ve ever wanted to race through clouds at 1000 mph while snapping screenshots, this is your jam.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around mastering flight mechanics. You use motion controls to tilt and accelerate, adjusting your VRM model’s trajectory with thumbstick fine-tuning. Tracks are open but linear, requiring you to balance speed with route optimization. The Xross gear lets you toggle between flight styles, like high-speed dives or steady glides, which affects how you navigate obstacles. Each session averages 30 minutes, split between time trials and photo challenges. The camera system is surprisingly detailed, letting you capture angles from mid-air loops to tight canyon passes. Controls demand hand-eye coordination, and the lack of a pause menu forces you to adapt on the fly.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 87% with a 4.1 star average. Average playtime is 14 hours, and 61% of players finish the game. Community moods are 70% Thrilled, 20% Relaxed, 10% Frustrated. Reviewers praise the "pure rush of flying" but complain about "unforgiving camera controls." The game has 107 achievements, with 82% of players earning at least 50. One user wrote, "The rush of beating my own time is unmatched, but why is there no save feature?" Another noted, "The photo mode is why I keep coming back." Completion rates drop sharply in the final 10% of the campaign, where track complexity spikes.
PlayPile's Take
PilotXross is a niche win for VR fans who love precision racing and photography. The $29.99 price tag matches its focused scope, though the lack of multiplayer or progression systems might turn off some. With 107 achievements, it offers replayability for completionists. Controls take time to master, but the payoff is satisfying. Skip it if you want a forgiving or story-driven experience. For those who thrive on speed and creative capture, this is a solid 12, 15 hour commitment.
