Snowball VR Capture the Star due on Meta Quest in December

Solo studio Strange Euphoria XR will release Snowball VR: Capture the Star, a single-player snowball-fight adventure, on Meta Quest in December 2026.

You don’t have to wait for December to see whether it clicks. A free demo is out now on the Meta Store, covering the village, the Trainer’s lesson, and the forest. The Meta Store lists the full game for wishlisting, and the developer’s press kit prices it at $19.99 USD.

The setup is simple. A star has gone missing from the village’s festive tree, and its trail runs through snowy woodland to a goblin castle. Solo developer Tim Musharapov goes by Strange Euphoria XR. He says you scoop up snow by hand and pack either a quick snowball or a denser two-handed shot. You aim and throw with your own motion, dodge incoming snowballs, and move between cover.

Along the way, you’ll find the magic mittens of Thunder and Blizzard, each with its own ability. The developer also lists breaking ice with a pickaxe and riding a sled down a mountain pass. You can play seated or standing, with text and subtitles in 14 languages.

The 1:55 trailer went up on the Strange Euphoria XR YouTube channel on 28 October. Neither it nor the Meta Store page gives an exact release day, so for now it’s simply “December 2026”.

Older headsets also matter here. Meta ends Quest 2 and Quest Pro feature updates in March 2027. Games and Store purchases keep working, so owners of either can still buy Quest games from the Store.

Anyone with a Quest can now try the village and the forest for free.
