Rec Room, the social VR app for PSVR, Rift, Vive, and Windows VR headsets, just got an update that a new activity to its list of games and multiplayer adventures. Dubbed ‘Lone Shoe Lanes’, users can get started now on perfecting their virtual bowling form.

Up to six players can bowl at once, the company says in a Steam post, with space in the room for a few observers to watch and chat. Scoring is fully automated, so practically all you have to do is pick up the ball and get playing.

Developers Against Gravity have also included practice lanes so you can play without fear of too much judgement.

The game’s largest update of late brought a multiplayer battle royale-style shooting game, dubbed Rec Royaleto the app, which allows up to 16 players to duke it out on a large summer camp-inspired map. Other games include paintball, 3D charades, and a number of co-op ‘Quests’ that let you battle side-by-side against baddies in a few themed environments.
