April doesn’t waste time announcing itself in VR. Games just start showing up — some with trailers that have been circulating for months, others that appear on the store page with almost no warning and somehow end up being the ones people keep talking about.
What makes April interesting this year isn’t one massive release carrying the whole month. It’s the spread. There’s genuine variety across platforms and genres — things that feel nothing like each other sitting side by side on the release calendar. Horror titles that use the headset in ways that still feel genuinely unsettling even after years of VR horror. Puzzle games that take one mechanic and stretch it further than you’d expect. Action games that remind you why physical VR gameplay hits differently than anything on a flat screen.
Not everything landing this month will be polished. Some releases will need patches. Some will be exactly what they look like from the outside — no surprises, no revelations. But a few will do something small that sticks with you, and in VR that’s often enough.
Quest players, PC VR setups, and PS VR2 owners all have something coming their way this month. The platforms aren’t getting equal treatment — they rarely do — but none of them are being completely ignored either.
Here is everything releasing in April 2026 across VR platforms, what each game is actually doing, and whether it’s worth your time and money.
1. Blastmania
A game that throws waves of enemies at you and never apologises for it — loud, fast, and completely committed to the chaos from the first second to the last.

2. Dagger Woods VR
A game that puts you deep into dark forest territory where every shadow feels like it has something waiting in it — slow, tense, and genuinely uncomfortable in the way only VR woodland horror can be.

A game that hands you a crime scene and gets out of the way — clues sit where they were left, nothing glows to guide you, and figuring it out feels like actually figuring it out.
Store link: Quest 3

A game that makes physics feel like a puzzle language — water, droplets, and movement all behaving exactly as they should while somehow never making the solution obvious until it suddenly is.
Store link: Quest

Store link: PC VR, PS VR2, Quest

A game that starts feeling like fun and slowly stops — unsettling in the way fairgrounds always slightly are, except in VR that unease has nowhere to go except directly into you.

10. Wrath: Aeon of Ruin VR

Store link: PC VR
13. Agent Simulator
A game that puts you inside the kind of spy fantasy that looks clean from the outside and gets complicated fast — gadgets, decisions, and the constant pressure of not blowing your cover.
14. Deliria VR

15. A long Survive
A game that makes survival feel genuinely exhausting in the best possible way — resources run low, threats keep coming, and the tension of lasting one more day never fully disappears.

Store link: PS VR2

19. Ascent Ques
A game that keeps pushing you upward and makes every metre feel earned — climbing mechanics that use your actual arms, momentum that builds naturally, and a quiet intensity that grows the higher you get.
Store link: PC VR

A game that strands you somewhere unfamiliar and gives you almost nothing to start with — survival built from scratch, slow at first, then deeply absorbing once the rhythm of staying alive becomes second nature.
Store link: PC VR
24. BMX City Run VR
A game that puts you on two wheels in an urban environment that was not designed with your safety in mind — fast, physical, and the kind of VR experience where leaning into turns actually feels like it matters.

A game that puts you inside one of anime’s most iconic universes and trusts that you already know why that matters — familiar enough to feel like home, different enough to feel like something genuinely new.
Store link: https://www.uploadvr.com/evangelion-cross-reflections-vr-mixed-reality-game
30. Evil Inside VR
A game that uses the headset to make horror feel inescapable — close, personal, and the kind of experience where turning around to check what’s behind you never stops feeling like a bad idea.
Store link: PS VR2

Store link: PC VR, Pico, Quest

A game that builds its action around defending something worth protecting — waves of threats, resource management under pressure, and the particular satisfaction of holding a position that felt impossible to hold.

A game that commits to its fantasy setting without irony — sword combat, quests, and a world that takes itself seriously enough to pull you in and keep you there longer than you planned.
39. Legendary Tales

Store link: PC VR
48. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City
A game that delivers exactly the kind of chaotic, joyful brawling the franchise has always promised — loud, colourful, and built for anyone who has ever wanted to be in the middle of that sewer-to-rooftop action rather than watching it.

Store link: PC VR
