VMX brings BMX and scooters to Quest on October 2, with Steam cross-play as the plan

VR riding game VMX arrives on the Meta Horizon Store on October 2 at 10:00 PDT, according to its Meta store listing, which rates it 3+ with a “Users Interact” notice and files it under Sport and Simulation. Cross-play with the Steam version is the studio’s stated plan rather than a feature already running: “Cross play with Meta will bring in so many more players,” Break Free Interactive wrote on July 31, “so even if you don’t want to play standalone, this will make the game much more lively.”

This is a new store, not a finished game. The Steam build has been in Early Access since March 26, 2026, and it stays there after October 2, with the studio’s own roadmap putting full release one to two years out.

BMX, mountain bikes and scooters, with gesture tricks

VMX hands the player a BMX, a mountain bike or a scooter and asks for tricks performed as physical gestures rather than stick flicks, on a handling model the studio built itself. The Steam build carries five maps: an underground skatepark, a desert dirt track, Miami streets, a docks warehouse and a stadium with a megaramp and an animated crowd.

Modes run to time attack, a Simon Says-style challenge and an open sandbox, with multiplayer on dedicated servers. Riders and bikes are customised through a spray-can system that blends colours and gradients, and points earned in play buy helmets, goggles, snapbacks and beanies. A comfort mode offers settings the studio says are meant to reduce motion discomfort.

Steam reviews sit at 89% positive

On Steam the game costs $14.99 in the US and holds a Very Positive rating, with 89% of its 231 user reviews positive when the page was read on September 22. Steam lists VMX as VR only, with single-player, online PvP and online co-op, and names Valve Index, Quest 2 and Quest 3 among the headsets it supports for PC play. No Quest price appears on the Meta listing before launch.

Cross-play is a commitment, not a shipped feature

The October 2 date first appeared in that same July 31 update, which brought map extensions, races and collectibles to the Steam build. Break Free Interactive has not said what shape cross-play takes on day one, so Quest riders should treat shared lobbies as something the studio is working towards rather than a launch feature.

A Quest launch widens the pool for a game whose multiplayer depends on other people turning up, and that is the reason the studio gives for doing it.

Quest’s autumn slate is filling out either way, from our round-up of 10 VR releases and updates due before October to Spymaster leaving Early Access on October 15.

VMX unlocks on the Meta Horizon Store on October 2 at 10:00 PDT, with the Steam build carrying on in Early Access alongside it.
