Beloved UK comedy show Taskmaster is getting its own VR game soon featuring the Taskmaster tyrant himself, Greg Davies (and of course Little Alex Horne).

And as you’d expect, Taskmaster VR takes you to the titular Taskmaster House, the show’s humble abode that regularly plays host to the game’s plethora of madcap missions.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

It's an issue we pointed out in our Quest 3 review as a rough edge of its mixed reality functionality.

Sniper Elite VR: Winter Warrior is available today on Quest, offering a new campaign that feels more like an expansion than a true follow-up. Sequels often have a tricky task ahead.
