Pick-up League Hockey

Pick-up League Hockey is a multiplayer hockey game from Electric Falcon LLC, listed under sports and simulation. It uses realistic physics and motion controls to put you on the ice with up to five other players. It has been on the Meta Horizon Store since February 16, 2021.

How it plays

You handle your stick with your own arm movements, so passing, stickhandling and shooting depend on how you swing rather than on button presses. The puck and players follow physics, which makes every shot and deflection feel different.

According to the store page, the game was made by a hockey fan, and the developer's stated goal is to offer more ways to customize matches than any other multiplayer hockey title in VR. The store page does not list the individual options, but the focus is on flexible pick-up style matches rather than a single-player career.

Multiplayer

Games hold up to six players in total, and you can play with people in other regions and on other platforms thanks to cross-region and cross-platform support. The store also lists single-player and co-op play. The developer runs a Discord server for news and tournaments.

Comfort

Meta has not published a comfort rating for Pick-up League Hockey. Skating around the rink is artificial movement, so if you are new to VR read our guide to motion sickness in VR. You can play sitting, standing or in room-scale with controllers.
