VR Giants

About

VR Giants is a co-operative platformer where two players take on linked roles in a shared world. One uses VR to control a massive character who manipulates the environment by positioning limbs to form paths or shields. The other guides a small, agile character via gamepad to collect items and navigate hazards. The smaller player must avoid dangers like fire and spikes while the giant partner uses their bulk to create safe routes. Progress requires constant communication as both characters need each other to unlock areas and advance. The game stands out for its physical gameplay loop where one player’s movements directly shape the other’s options. The size contrast forces creative problem solving, a missed step or delayed reaction can cost lives or reset progress. With support for local play on SteamVR and Meta Quest 2, it offers a tight 2-player experience that blends gross motor skills with precision controls. Launched in June 2023, it’s drawn praise for turning VR’s physicality into a team effort rather than a solo spectacle.
