For almost a year now, you can play an extraction shooter in VR on Steam. It bears similarities to popular shooters like Escape from Tarkov and now boasts having gathered 500,000 unique users.
What game is this about? The VR game is called Ghosts of Tabor, which you can play among other places on Steam. The game launched in Early Access in March 2023 and has since not only attracted a large player base for a VR title but has also earned a significant $10 million.
The launch trailer aims to prepare you for the close combat that awaits you in Ghosts of Tabor:
Ghosts of Tabor impresses players: As reported by Beyond Frames Entertainment, the large player base consists of both Steam and Meta Quest players (via beyondframes.com). On Steam itself, Ghosts of Tabor stands weakly with its player count but still holds a positive rating of 79%.
On Meta Quest, the game scores with a very strong positive rating. With almost 9,000 reviews, 72% of players rated Ghosts of Tabor 5 stars. Meanwhile, only 3 to 8% of players have given lower ratings of 1 to 3 stars.
It cannot be denied that the reported 500,000 players would be quite a success for a VR game. One reason for this success could be crossplay. Thanks to this feature, it is virtually never a problem to find a squad and face the fight.
In addition, Ghosts of Tabor excels with good and relentless gameplay, offering players an irresistible challenge. PvP and PvE occur simultaneously, so players must pay attention to both other players and AI enemies at the same time.
Ghost of Tabor combines extraction shooter and survival
Some survival aspects are also included, such as crafting equipment and weapons, a good amount of loot, the ability to build your own safehouse, or the influence of thirst and hunger, which make the game an exciting experience.
In addition to the already released paid DLCs, a content update has been announced, which, however, is to be completely free.
The update titled “Matka Miest Underground” is supposed to add an entirely new area to the game.
