XR News Round-Up – Exit Condition: One, Game Room, Track Craft & More

Welcome to our first XR News Round-Up for 2025, offering quick updates on recent news stories.

We’re back once more with our weekend round-up after an extended break over the holidays. If you’ve missed our biggest stories, we went hands-on with Sony’s XYN headset and Play For Dream at CES, while Quest 3S was 2024’s top-selling console on Amazon. PowerWash Simulator VR support is ending, Boneworks is coming to Quest 3, and Sanzaru Games is moving on from Asgard’s Wrath 2. We also reviewed Pirates VR, Epyka, and Arken Age.

Our weekly newsletter and latest articles have the remaining details. Elsewhere, here are a few stories we initially missed.
