Looking for a list of all the new VR games and DLCs coming to Quest, Steam, PlayStation VR2, and other platforms in August? We've got you covered.
As summer starts to wind down and fall approaches, expect to see a lot of the upcoming games featured at showcases like our own UploadVR Summer Showcase, the VR Games Showcase, and the Ruff Talk VR Showcase earlier this year either release or confirm their expected dates. Add in Steam Frame's imminent release with developers already getting their games certified for Valve's standalone headset and the ingredients are there for a healthy VR gaming autumn.

August is typically the last "slow" month of the year before the gaming industry ramps back up with new releases to build hype for the holiday season. As such, this list of confirmed release dates is relatively brief.
We will update this article if any of those or other release dates for August are confirmed. For now, here's our list:
Games marked with an asterisk (*) are slated to release in Early Access.
Update Notice
- August 3 - Updated release date for Isle of Food on Meta Quest
- August 6 - Added D.E.C.A.Y. and Crawler
- August 18 - Added Trombone Champ's Disney Movie Magic DLC, BrushHammer: Miniature Painter, BattleGroupVR2
- August 27 - Removed Bomb the Hill, Cards of Destiny, and Streets of Miami. All three have been delayed.
SlipVector - August 1 (PS VR2)
SlipVector is a neon-lit retro arcade shooter coming exclusively to PlayStation 5 with PlayStation VR2 support. Players control a spaceship sliding left and right on a defined plane shooting incoming enemies and acquiring power ups.
- Store Link(s) - PS VR2
Korea. IL-2 Series - August 4 (PC VR)
Korea. IL-2 Series has been a long time coming. We have known about this 1950s flight simulator at least since 2024. After missing its originally planned 2025 release, it popped back up at VR Games Showcase in June.
The game is actually available now on the game's website for a regular price of a whopping $100 ($180 for the Founder's Edition). At that price, we're inclined to wait for the Steam version. Developer 1C Game Studios' previous work includes the well reviewed IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad.
Store Link(s) - Steam
Puzzles of the World 1.0 Release - August 6 (Quest 3)
Puzzles of the World is a cozy wooden miniature building set in seven locations around the world. It was originally scheduled to leave Early Access in late July before a two-week delay for further polish.
Store Link(s) - Quest
Ironforged - August 7 (PS VR2)
Ironforged is a slow-paced tactical shooter with an emphasis on accuracy and ammo conservation as the game provides players with limited resources to survive its twelve levels.
Battle Beyond The Wall - August 15 (Quest)
Battle Beyond the Wall, from developer Globiss Interactive (Titanic: A Space Between), is a multiplayer sandbox action-strategy set in an open-world environment.
Store Link(s) - Quest
Isle of Food - August 18 (Quest)
This island-based cooking and foraging game first hit Steam in Early Access in April after a demo featured in Steam Next Fest months before. The demo had a lot of rough edges, so hopefully the time between the Steam and Quest releases has allowed developer Svaiy Art Industries to polish the experience.
Store Link(s) - Quest
