Ever since its Early Access release on Meta Quest and Steam in late May, ‘X8’ has garnered remarkable attention within the gaming community. Over 70,000 players have already installed the game, engaging in an impressive 250,000 matches and 2 million rounds of intense 5v5 gameplay. The overwhelming response has solidified ‘X8’ as a popular VR multiplayer hero shooter game.
In ‘X8,’ players have the freedom to customize their loadouts with an assortment of weapons, armor, items, and abilities, giving them an edge before the battle even commences.
