VR Shooter X8 Update Adds New Maps, Achievements, and More

 

Today, the X8 rolled out a free update on Quest and SteamVR, adding new maps and achievements, among other things. X8 is a free-to-play 5v5 shooter developed by Thirdverse, currently in Early Access. The studio released the tactical hero shooter in May, announcing that it had attracted 50,000 players and played 187,000 games. Dubbed "Major Update 1," this X8 update introduces a new map called Neo-Yakuza, which is directly inspired by Tokyo's Kabukicho entertainment district. You can see a screenshot of the map below:

Major Update 1 also introduces an achievement system, adding 20 new achievements, "with more to come in the coming weeks". Additionally, a user behavior reporting system will be added, which Thirdverse said in a press release will "identify cheaters, maintain a good community, promote fair competition, and ensure a good gaming experience for all players."

If you're more interested in the X8, here's Thirdverse's official description:

Players can equip their heroes with a wealth of weapons, armor, and items in each round, and use the funds they earn to buy more equipment. The goal is to deploy "The Syphon" at a specific location on the map when attacking, or use "The Defuser" to deactivate it within 30 seconds when defending. Ultimately the winner is the team that eliminates all attackers or interferes with the deployment process. There are 14 rounds in a match, and the team that reaches 8 first (subject to change) wins when 7/7 is tied.

X8 is now available on Steam for PC VR (click here) and App Lab on Quest (click here) and plans for a PSVR 2 version (click here).
