VR Ping Pong Pro

VR Ping Pong Pro is a table tennis game from OneOOne, published by Merge Games Ltd. It sits between sports simulation and arcade-style action, with a focus on climbing from novice to pro. It came out on the Meta Horizon Store on May 26, 2022.

How it plays

You grab a virtual paddle and work through several game modes, moving up the rankings as you win. Five difficulty levels cover everyone from first-time players to people who already know their way around a table.

• Eight venues, among them an arcade, a stadium and a Japanese garden, with realistic backdrops.
• Customization for your racket and ball, with lots of options.
• Five difficulty settings.
• Online multiplayer.

The store description is brief and does not explain the modes one by one, so expect a straightforward table tennis game built around matches, unlocks and difficulty steps.

Multiplayer

Besides playing alone, you can take on other people online, which the developer frames as a race to be the one true champion. The store page does not say anything about matchmaking, private rooms or how many players can take part.

Comfort

Meta rates VR Ping Pong Pro as comfortable for most people. It supports standing, seated and room-scale play and uses controllers. Leave some space for your swing arm.
