New VR Games & Releases December 2024: Quest, SteamVR, PS VR2 & More
From Skydance’s Behemoth to Alien: Rogue Incursion, December’s another busy month for new VR games.
To say it’s been hectic for new VR games recently would be an understatement, and November certainly didn’t let up. Metro Awakening, Trombone Champ: Unflattened, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and DIG VR led the charge, followed by Dumb Ways: Free for All, EXOcars, By Grit Alone, Ember Souls, Bounce Arcade and Augmented Empire. Other notable games include Wall Town Wonders, Spatial Ops, Starship Troopers: Continuum, Living Room, Last Stand, Squingle, and The Thrill of the Fight 2.
December is certainly looking quieter comparatively, but even with 2024 coming to a close, there are still a few big releases yet to come across all major platforms. Keep this page bookmarked as games continue to receive new release dates or get delayed, and we’ll continue updating our comprehensive upcoming VR games list.
Right now, here’s our highlights for new VR games coming to Quest, PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Apple Vision Pro this December.

Premier League Player is the first officially licensed VR game based on the UK’s Premier League. All 20 teams are represented with authentic kits and realistic stadiums, and the game also offers a ‘Moments Mode’ that lets you experience highlights from the 2023-2024 season.
