Simcade VR racer Downtown Club is leaving Early Access and releasing in full on both Meta Quest and Pico on June 11.
Commuter Games has announced that their simcade VR racer Downtown Club's next update will push the game out of Early Access and into full release. The update, v1.4.0, launches on Meta Quest and Pico 4 on June 11.
In addition to the full release, update v1.4.0 also brings several new features and improvements to the core game. These include voice chat, in-game rain, slipstream mechanics, AI improvements, and more.
Downtown Club is a simcade racing game that offers both traditional thumbstick controls and full virtual controls. When I reviewed the game in Early Access some two years ago, I found it to be a fun and engaging racing game that was held back by a sparse roster of cars, lack of multiplayer support, poor rival racer AI, and an appalling soundtrack.
Commuter Games has been toiling away in the garage, implementing numerous updates since 2024 that have upped the horsepower and put new tread on the tires. Since those early days, many of my complaints seem to have been addressed. We'll take the freshly polished release for a spin when it hits the road in June. I'm all out of car metaphors.
Downtown Club's full release is coming on June 11. Until then, it's available in Early Access on Meta Quest and Pico 4.
