Releases Recap: May 15 – 19
This week, we released a bunch of titles and updates across the Meta Quest Platform. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
Rube Goldberg Workshop
We’ve all seen Rube Goldberg Machines® before: laughably complicated contraptions built with dozens of objects and gizmos to achieve a simple task. But you’ve probably never made one in mixed reality, and that’s where Rube Goldberg Workshop comes in. The game lets you use the surfaces from your real world environment to build an unlimited number of silly and colorful machines. And the best part is there’s no cleanup involved when you’re done! Rube Goldberg Workshop uses our Presence Platform technology to scan your room and determine which walls, furniture, and surfaces you can build your machines on. From there, you’ll be able to choose from over 80 different components to build your machines, including toy cars, gears, books, rubber balls, bowling pins, cannons, and much more.
Perfect For: Fans of Gadgeteer, Gravity Lab, and Arcsmith
Developer: Free Range Games
Available On: Meta Quest 2 + Pro

Guardians Frontline - Vehicles & Tech Update
The first update for Guardians Frontline is now live and brings a ton of improvements to the game! First up, a pair of new vehicles. The tank is a heavily armored vehicle that will crush any bug force in its path, while the hover bike is very light and fast. There’s also a new weapon, the Medic Gun, that can drain HP from enemies and use it to repair or cure the player or other units, or even revive fallen guardians. And there’s the Scorpio LvL2, a new unit with a high rate of fire but relatively low range. Kill them as soon as you see them! There are many more changes—check the full patch notes for details.
