Each vehicle will support dual-wielding objects while driving and has fully optimized controls across all platforms, including a clean intuitive feel on smartphones and touch devices.
Coming alongside the driving feature is a new game within Rec Room called Rec Rally, where up to six cars can compete in online multiplayer off-road racing. The new feature and game will support cross-platform play and be available to all players across Android, iOS, Oculus Quest, Oculus Quest 2, other compatible VR headsets, PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
