Shiesty

Shiesty is an open-world crime action game with shooter elements from Squido Studio, published by CurlyBlue LTD.. It is set in Hustle Rock, a city where you steal cars, rob stores and work your way up the criminal underworld with friends while the police chase you. The Meta Horizon Store lists it from June 12, 2025, and it is in early access; the description adds that it goes free to play on November 5, 2026.

How it plays

You can hold up shops, pick the locks on cash registers and aim your gun at any non-player character to make them hand over what they have. Stolen goods are sold at the pawn shop, and paying what you owe to the Don is how you level up. The more trouble you cause, the more wanted stars you collect and the harder the police push back.

• Collecting: gather every car and gun in the city and customize them.
• Movement: climb, drive, zip line and grapple across Hustle Rock.
• Phone: an in-game phone with a mini map that can call any player directly.

Multiplayer

Shiesty is an online multiplayer game. Crews of friends can pull off crimes together, and the in-game phone lets you reach other players straight away.

Comfort

Meta rates Shiesty as intense, meaning it is comfortable for few people. It supports standing or room-scale play, and it uses controllers. Driving, grappling and zip lining add a lot of artificial movement, so read our guide to motion sickness in VR if you are new to VR.
