Meta shut down Echo VR<\/em>, one of its best-performing VR games, in early August. At the time, it seemed like there was little hope for fans to ever play again, but now a modder has released an experimental project that brings unofficial online matches back to the zero-G sports game.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Created by David ‘Xenomega’ Pokora, the so-called ‘EchoRelay’ mod for the PC VR version of the game has brought back online services, which includes both Echo Arena<\/em> and the game’s VR shooter variant, Echo Combat.\u00a0<\/em>Since it’s a PC mod, there’s no such solution for the Quest version of the game unfortunately.<\/p>\n

The mod, which the creator calls a “proof-of-concept”, allows you to either run your own server or connect to other community servers. While Pokora states in the EchoRelay’s GitHub page\u00a0that it’s “not intended to host unofficial services for the public,” the project is public and can be downloaded by anyone. Granted, you’ll need a copy of Echo VR <\/em>on PC to begin with, which is no longer available via Meta’s PC Store.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Pokora says the project won’t include continued support. “This project will never aim to go beyond the scope of personal educational research,” Pokora says, maintaining that there won’t be any further feature completion beyond what’s already available.<\/p>\n

Still, while the GitHub page has been archived, enterprising modders can still fork the project and make changes there\u2014something that Meta may or may not condone.<\/p>\n
