ICYMI This Week: Apple Vision Pro, Lethal Company VR & More
Lethal Company

We're back with our weekly VR games and hardware roundup. Here's what you may have missed:

January was off to a busy start with CES 2024 and this week wasn't any different. Apple Vision Pro continued dominating headlines before next month's launch, and we went hands-on again. Previews suggest Apple's headset has a comfort problem, in-store demos are planned, its specs may have leaked and Apple Immersive Video was also detailed. Elsewhere, LG's creating an XR device, crowdfunding began for RayNeo X2, and Varjo Aero is officially discontinued.

VR gaming was equally busy and Air Link's creator revealed CitraVR will bring the 3DS emulator to Quest. Bulletstorm VR, Toy Trains, Crumbling and Retropolis 2 all released on multiple platforms, Grimlord and Vertigo 2 got new ports, while the Vestiges: Fallen Tribes Steam demo drops next week. Slender: The Arrival VR is confirmed, Vail VR has a full release date, while WIMO Games shut down. Finally, Saints and Sinners got its Quest 3 upgrade after the series grossed nearly $100 million.

There's a lot of news, so we're continuing our format for rounding up those stories we couldn't cover. Here's a few more VR updates:
