H3VR2 is out on Quest 3, but SteamVR players still have to wait
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 is now available on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S, giving standalone VR players a chance to try the sequel to RUST LTD.’s long-running shooting sandbox. If you are waiting for the SteamVR version, though, you cannot buy that edition yet.
The game launched on November 12, the date announced in September, and the Meta Horizon Store lists it at $39.99 in the US. Its supported headset list names Quest 3 and 3S, so I would check that list carefully before buying for an older headset.
The sequel keeps the original’s odd combination of detailed virtual firearms and hot dog characters, while adding a larger objective for players who want more than time at a shooting range. Its main Facility mode sends you into a changing complex to fight enemies, collect equipment and get back out with what you have found.

There is an extraction mode as well as a sandbox
RUST describes the Facility as procedurally generated, with gear and upgrades to unlock over repeated runs. The store page also lists a certification range, arcade shooting, competition and sandbox options. That makes the sequel interesting whether you prefer a goal or simply want to experiment with the virtual equipment.

Meta lists the game as single-user and rates its comfort level as intense. You can play sitting, standing or in room scale, according to the listing, and an internet connection is not required to play. The listed download size is 2.77GB, although you should allow for updates.
If you are considering a headset for this game, the Meta Quest 3 512GB is one of the supported models. You do not need a gaming PC for this Quest release, and the less expensive Quest 3S is also on the supported list.

The Steam version is planned for 2027, but its exact date is unannounced
The Steam page says the PC VR edition is not yet available and currently gives its exact release date as “to be announced”. The launch announcement says the SteamVR version is planned for the second half of 2027, alongside a modding framework. You can add it to a wishlist, but a listing is not the same as a playable release.
For now, that leaves a straightforward choice for someone with both platforms: the Quest version is available as a standalone game, while a SteamVR player needs to wait for the PC edition. I would not assume a Quest purchase also grants the Steam version; the store pages do not make that promise.
The screenshots in this article come from the game’s Steam listing and are illustrative. They should not be taken as a comparison of the Quest and future PC versions.
