Gorilla Tag VR

Gorilla Tag is an incredibly popular casual VR game developed and published by Another Axiom team early in 2023. Immediately after its release, this simple-looking 3D game of tag became a worldwide attraction, attracting a large audience of young players who have managed to promote it as one of the first surprise hits of 2023.

Requires a virtual reality headset. See system requirements for more information.

Built from the ground up to be as accessible as possible, this title promotes the use of simple gameplay elements of running, climbing, and jumping inside the online multiplayer environments, enabling players of all ages to play the simple game of “infection” tag. Infected players are tasked with chasing survivors, who must use all their traversal capabilities to evade them.

Main features

Gorilla Tag features multiple gameplay modes – Tag and Infection modes for 3 or four players, and highly engaging paintball modes that enable players to throw paint one on another using simple slingshots. The game promotes fast-paced action gameplay, with parkour elements, fast climbing, jumping, and many other moves that are needed to outmaneuver opponent gorillas. Due to its simple gameplay offering an incredibly easy-to-learn set of traversal tools, players can quickly get accustomed to the low-stakes environment where they can easily chat with their friends.

The game hosts six native levels, all featuring a wide array of vertical traversal options, attractive routes and obstacles, and visual styles. It is important to note that while this game features an incredibly simple visual style, with low-poly graphics, crude texturing, and lack of modern rendering effects, this makes the game no less fun than any modern polished game. The Gorilla Tag VR game is instantly fun, especially if played with friends.

VR-only game of tag for players of all ages

Gorilla Tag is a VR-only game that must be controlled with two hand controllers. Players can move with the help of several built-in traversal modes, and climbing is done by simply grabbing environmental objects such as trees, ropes, buildings, rock outcroppings, and more. The game uses no buttons, sticks, or teleportation modes, making it highly attractive to young players who just want to find quick fun.

Due to the highly expressive nature of in-game VR avatars, all games of Gorilla Tag quickly dissolve into a party scene where players are trying to trip and catch opposing players using realistic hand moves.
