Meta recognized how much its reach had expanded beyond the VR community, even making it a limited time pack-in title to bring new people into the Quest ecosystem.

Announced in April, DIG VR from Just Add Water and Wired Productions feels like the power-digging equivalent of PowerWash Simulator VR.
