Tenbillion Table Tennis - Ping Pong VR

Tenbillion Table Tennis - Ping Pong VR is a free sports simulation from Tenbillion KK, which is both developer and publisher. It tries to reproduce a real game of table tennis inside your headset, with ball physics modeled on the real sport. It was released on the Meta Horizon Store on August 7, 2023.

How it plays

You hold a virtual paddle with your controller and play rallies at a table while standing in your own room. The developer's pitch centers on two things: the speed of a real ping pong exchange and physics that behave the way a real ball does, which it says should satisfy even experienced players.

The store text is short on specifics. It does not list game modes, opponents, difficulty levels or any kind of progression, so it is hard to say from the listing alone how much there is to do beyond the core rallies. The developer uses big words such as "revolutionary" to describe it; treat those as marketing until you have tried it. Because it costs nothing, testing the physics for yourself is easy.

The interaction mode is single user, so this is not a game for playing against friends online.

Comfort

Tenbillion Table Tennis supports seated, standing and room-scale play and uses controllers. Table tennis involves quick arm swings, so make sure you have space around you and nothing within reach of the paddle hand.
