This upcoming hero shooter is still in development, but the team behind the title are out for feedback and sign-ups are open now.
X8 is a 5v5 immersive action shooter, taking plenty of cues from the likes of Paladins but cramming this new world into a VR headset.

This unexpected origin means that outlandish ideas and knowing nods to existing tropes are likely to feature throughout the game. For a better idea of what to expect, you can check out he trailer above, and head over to the official website.
Players jumping into the closed test will find themselves wielding a variety of these distinct heroes, battling alongside and against each other using interactive abilities and unique weapons. The upcoming testing periods will feature a familiar run and gun 5v5 scenario. To get into closed testing you’ll need a compatible headset to run SteamVR or the Meta portals, and a. invite. You can get this over on the official Discord now.
