Recently, game system developer Virtuix announced that its first VR treadmill for home users will be launched in the second quarter of 2024, featuring an initial lineup of 35 high-quality games.
Omni One is a complete entertainment system that features a proprietary 360-degree treadmill that enables players to physically run around inside virtual reality games while remaining in the same spot in their place space. The system also comes with a customized Pico 4 Enterprise headset, as well as a dedicated game store with titles optimized for Omni One.
Virtuix stated that the launch lineup for Omni One includes top VR games like Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom, Hubris, and Breachers. The company stated that each game has been adapted for movement on Omni One through close collaboration with game developers, ensuring seamless and highly immersive gameplay.
Virtuix CEO, Jan Goetgeluk, expressed excitement about Omni One’s upcoming launch, stating: “The high caliber of our launch games showcases how Omni One will take virtual reality to the next level. We are proud to partner with so many award-winning studios and offer our users an exceptional selection of games that will redefine their gaming experiences.”
Jake Zim, Senior Vice President of Virtual Reality at Sony Pictures Entertainment and publisher of VR title ‘Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord,’ said: “As Sony Pictures VR continues to expand the game with new updates and content for fans, we are eager to collaborate with Virtuix. Bringing the game to the Omni One enables us to offer even more groundbreaking ways for players to dive deep into the evolving Ghostbusters universe. This initiative aligns with the theatrical release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, ensuring our game evolves in tandem with the saga’s cinematic journey.”
The complete lineup of 35 games includes a wide range of offerings, from adventure titles to immersive simulations, according to Virtuix. The company noted that while these first 35 games mark the initial wave of compatible titles, it aims to continuously enrich the Omni One experience by introducing additional titles post-launch.
Virtuix added that it has garnered significant interest, and has received several thousand preorders for Omni One, which is priced at USD $2,595 (inclusive of the customized Pico VR headset). The company stated that it is currently on track to produce all preorders during Q1 and Q2 of this year, leading up to the full launch of Omni One in late Q2 2024.
