Virtual Fighting Championship (VFC)

Virtual Fighting Championship (VFC) is an action fighting simulation from L & L Technology PTY LTD built around one-on-one PvP combat. The developer describes it as more brutal and more free-form than a typical boxing simulator, and says it wants to become the "Street Fighter" of VR. It was released on the Meta Horizon Store on April 13, 2022.

How it plays

VFC packs in many fighting mechanics, which the developer explains in more depth on its website. If sparring with strangers is not for you, there is a lighthearted single-player campaign against AI fighters that use a range of styles.

• 1v1 PvP fights
• a single-player campaign against AI opponents
• fitness modes to train striking, endurance, stamina, defensive awareness and combat readiness
• a running competition inside the game

Multiplayer

PvP is the core of VFC, and you can queue for a PvP match while you keep playing offline modes. The developer points players to its Discord server for the best PvP experience, which is the place to find opponents and chat with them between rounds.

Comfort

VFC is played standing or in room-scale with controllers. It is a physical game, so expect a workout and keep clear space around you for punches.
