VR arcade rhythm game CYBRID is out now on Quest in early access.
Created by Tom Reason and published by Shada Games, CYBRID is an on-rails sci-fi action game reminiscent of Pistol Whip. Using swords and pistols, you're tasked with clearing through enemy cyborgs across this neon-lit city as you run, jump, dodge, and deflect incoming fire to the rhythm. This includes customizable color schemes for the levels, weapons, and enemies, alongside modifications like time acceleration or “error immunity.”
Originally launched in 2021 on Steam, CYBRID has been in early access ever since. Developer Tom Reason previously advised that they had temporarily suspended development before restarting in fall 2024. Since then, it's continued receiving updates across 2025, like June's summer-themed Hot Vacation patch, new levels, and a supporter's pack.
Much like the Steam release, the Quest version is also an early access launch. A further content update is planned following this upcoming port, though it's currently unknown if this will be the Version 1.0 edition.
CYBRID is out now in early access on the Meta Quest platform and Steam. A free demo is also live on Quest.
