VRFS - Football (Soccer) Simulator

VRFS - Football (Soccer) Simulator is a free sports simulation from VRFS, built around physics-driven ball control and competitive online matches. The developer describes it as community-driven. It has been on the Meta Horizon Store since February 3, 2023.

How it plays

The ball follows real physics, so its path depends entirely on how you strike it. That leaves room for tricks such as balancing the ball on your toe, as well as curled power shots, long passes and crosses that travel at realistic speeds. You can move with the thumbsticks or try other locomotion options, and play sitting or standing.

• Free roam for casual kickabouts, or competitive matches.
• No pay-to-win: the developer says nobody can buy stronger kicks or faster boots, so practice is the only way to get better.
• A huge number of community-made arenas and mods; the store mentions hundreds of thousands.
• Clubs to join and the option to record clips of your play.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer and co-op are both listed alongside single-player. The developer says ball touches respond instantly online, and besides matches you can hang out with friends or join a club.

Comfort

Meta rates VRFS as intense, meaning it is comfortable for few people. It supports sitting, standing or room-scale play, and it uses controllers. Fast running and sudden turns are part of the game, so newer players may want to start seated, try the locomotion and comfort settings, and read our guide to motion sickness in VR.
