London, UK, 17th August 2023 - 31 Labs is excited to announce that its energetic “all-sports” VR title SPACE BALL is now available on Steam for PCVR players.
Featuring two modes, players can enjoy exhilarating Football and Basketball matches. Played either solo against bots or online in team-based matches, SPACE BALL supports 1vs1, 2vs2 and 3vs3 sessions, with players able to drop in and take over from bots for uninterrupted gameplay.
SPACE BALL’s unique feature is its physical locomotion system. Instead of teleportation or stick-based smooth movement, players launch themselves around the arenas using their hands. They slam their hands on the floor to jump in any direction they choose, with an additional boost button offering the chance to reach greater heights and distances.

When creating matches players will be able to select different arenas as well as their colour options. How about a nice purple and green combo, or orange and blue maybe? The choice is yours.
“The day has finally arrived when our Quest App Lab players can now enjoy matches against PCVR opponents!” said 31 Labs’ CTO Alexander Travkin. “After taking some extra time to polish the game, we’re excited to launch SPACE BALL on Steam Early Access, opening the game to even more players. We’re looking forward to their feedback so we can continue to grow and enhance the SPACE BALL experience.”
SPACE BALL is out now on Steam for PCVR as well as App Lab and SideQuest (for Meta Quest 2) for FREE.
