Co-op platformer VR Giants is now available on Quest 3 and 3S, and you can invite friends to join at no additional cost.
Originally released on Steam in 2023, VR Giants by Risa Interactive is an asymmetric platformer in which one player controls a giant called Goliath and the other player controls a human companion called David. Goliath guides David through various obstacles by lifting him up and acting as a shield, solving puzzles, and avoiding danger as a team.

Promising an eight-hour campaign duration, VR Giants features cross-platform multiplayer across Quest and Steam. The “Free Friend Pass” system (also on PC) allows you to invite others to join you as David without having to purchase the game for each other. This uses a room code system.
It features 23 levels across four biomes: ice, desert, volcano, and meadow. Each area has new dangers, and Goliath can transform into three different forms to advance. For example, “Fire Goliath” gives you the shape of lava, while “Temporary Goliath” only appears while you hold down the button. Also includes Goliath ornaments to unlock.
Both players use VR headsets on the Quest 3 and 3S editions, but unlike the Steam release, there is one flatscreen player using David’s gamepad. Risa Interactive has confirmed that the Steam version has also been updated to enable online co-op play, which was previously limited to local multiplayer only.
On the Quest 3 and 3S, you can also choose two additional camera modes for David. One of them is aimed at “maximum immersion in VR.” The other is to offer a “cinema mode” instead, which more closely matches Steam’s flatscreen setup and allows him to display his role across a virtual 2D screen.
VR Giants is currently in early access on both PC VR and Quest 3/3S.
