Quest 3 Welcomes ‘Into the Radius 2’ in Early Access This Month

Hey, so guess what? Into the Radius 2 — yeah, the sequel to that wild post-apocalyptic shooter everyone’s been talking about — finally hit the PC VR scene a while back. Specifically, it sneaked in via early access on Steam in July 2024. And now? The big news: it’s crashing onto Quest headsets this month. Exciting, right? Or maybe that’s just me getting hyped.

So, let me break it down. CM Games are dropping this bad boy onto Quest 3 and Quest 3S starting May 21st. But hold your horses, because it’s still just early access for now. The whole shebang, the full 1.0 version, is set for next year. There’s like this air of suspense, you know?

If you remember the first Into the Radius from 2020 — and if you don’t, no worries, I barely remember what I ate this morning — it was all about wandering through eerie exclusion zones. And these ‘Pechorsk’ anomalies? Seriously creepy. The sequel keeps that vibe but throws in some real-world weapons, tactical gear, and these powerful artifacts that feel straight out of a sci-fi movie. Sounds intense, right?

Here’s a twist for you: co-op mode. Now, that’s the juicy part. Initially, it’s for two people but get this — they’re planning to let up to four players dive in together once it’s fully released. Talk about squad goals!

Here’s a kicker, though. They’ve mentioned that PC VR and Quest 3 won’t have crossplay. Weird choice, I know. Maybe they’ve got something up their sleeves, or maybe not. But hey, on the flipside, this leap to VR’s major platform is pretty huge. I mean, just PC VR sales alone raked in nearly $3 million. And half of that was in the first week! Can you imagine the pressure when it finally lands on Quest?

By the way, no Horizon Store listing yet — yep, I checked. But if you’re itching to get your game on, there’s a full explainer ready to dive into, packed with tips on weapons, gear, and prepping for your adventures into the Radius. Just in case you’re feeling a bit… exploratory.

Anyway, I’ve rambled enough. It’s all pretty fascinating stuff, honestly. Give it a shot? Or maybe keep an eye out and see how it unfolds.
