Saber Interactive is getting dirty with the revelation of MudRunner VR, a new virtual reality off-road racing game coming soon to the Meta Quest.
The title will debut on Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest Pro. Developed and published by Saber, MudRunner VR is an off-road automotive experience brought to new life in VR. You can jump in the driver’s seat and take charge of a range of all-terrain vehicles on an adventure across extreme landscapes with only a map, your equipment, and your driving skills to guide you.
The game is Saber’s first since it changed ownership. In March 2024, Embracer Group announced that it would divest Saber Interactive by selling it to Karch’s Beacon Interactive for $247 million.
In that deal, Saber Interactive kept the Saber-branded studios, 3D Realms, Digic Pictures, Fractured Byte, Mad Head Games, New World Interactive, Nimble Giant Entertainment, Sandbox Strategies, SmartPhone Labs, Slipgate Ironworks, and Stuntworks.
In the game, you can drive eight all-terrain vehicles, each with its own characteristics and attachable equipment, as you explore immense environments with total immersion in Story Mode and Free Play Mode.
You have a combination of objectives and deliveries while enduring extreme conditions across wild, untamed landscapes. Overcome muddy terrain, flowing rivers, and other obstacles that react realistically to the weight and movement of your vehicle.
Perfect for both long-time series fans and newcomers alike, MudRunner VR captures the classic MudRunner experience in a new adventure designed specifically for Meta Quest. Vehicles, missions, maps and physics deliver an engaging first-person experience in VR, with new 3D models for trucks and environments. Players can interact with a variety of elements in the cockpit, and even step outside to attach the winch, refuel and more.
Saber’s titles include Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, Jurassic Park: Survival, World War Z, SnowRunner, and Expeditions: A MudRunner Game. Founded in 2001, Saber is known for two decades of development partnerships with triple-A publishers.
