Have you ever dreamed of building your own robot? Imagined a mechanical companion that could help with your daily tasks—or maybe even take over save the world? Well, it’s time to step into the shoes of an engineer and bring your aspirations to life in Some Assembly Required, launching today on Meta Quest 2 and 3!

This VR sandbox game puts you in the role of a roboticist in a warehouse. With an expansive array of parts at your disposal, you’ll design the machines of your dreams (or nightmares, whichever you prefer). Snap together a hodgepodge of parts, customize their movements and controls, and don’t forget the finishing touches—like a dashing top hat or a pair of googly eyes.

But building robots is just the beginning. Some Assembly Required takes you on an adventure through a campaign mode filled with challenges and secrets that will put your design skills to the test. After all, what good is a robot if it can’t be put to the test? Need a sandwich delivered? No problem! Toxic chemical spill? Your bot’s got it covered! Zombie apocalypse? Well, that escalated quickly, but hey, that’s just another day in the life at the warehouse.

But wait, there’s more! The game also gives you the ability to play at any scale. With real-time room scaling, you can watch your creations go from cute little desk buddies to towering behemoths that make Godzilla look like a toy poodle. And when you’re ready to experience the world through your robot’s eyes (or eye, if that’s more your style), just hop into Cockpit Mode and get ready for a wild ride from a first-person perspective.

Of course, with great robotics comes great responsibility—to share your creations with the world! With built-in community workshop features, you can unleash your robotic masterpieces upon an unsuspecting public. Alternatively, you can download robots designed by other inventive minds for inspiration or remix them to add your own unique twist.

Whether you’re a budding roboticist, a harbinger of chaos, or someone who enjoys the occasional robot dance party, Some Assembly Required is the game for you. The future of robotics is in your hands—so let’s build some bots and watch the world burn (figuratively, of course)!
