Survios’s VR racer Sprint Vector dashes into closed beta on January 19

Virtual reality studio Survios is now taking signups to beta test its futuristic track-and-field racing game Sprint Vector. The beta will be available for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift through the Oculus Home and SteamVR platforms. It’ll last from January 19 to January 28, ahead of the full game’s Q1 launch later this year.

Sprint Vector is also the name of the fictional TV show in the game’s world, where athletes compete head-to-head in races across futuristic obstacle courses. It uses Survios’s in-house Fluid Locomotion system to enable folks to dash through the world by swinging their arms. Three maps are available in the closed beta, along with two “challenge maps” that feature objectives such as collecting items or completing the course in a certain amount of time.
