MIAMI, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- VRAL Games, a Miami-based new gaming technology company and innovator in extended reality (XR) experiences, today announced the availability of its first published motorcycle racing game, VRIDER, on the Meta Quest Store. In partnership with the game's developers, Funny Tales, the launch of VRIDER is especially timely as motorsports has seen increasing interest in North America, and it is the official licensed game of the Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK).

"We are thrilled about our partnership with Funny Tales, a team of Italian gaming-veteran developers with a longstanding passion and gaming track record with motorsports, and are especially thrilled to see motorsports starting to take off in broader markets," said Rodolfo Saccoman, co-founder and CEO of VRAL Games. "VRIDER is delivering several industry firsts in terms of immersiveness and VR technology, offering a truly intuitive game where players can experience racing to the fullest, without the need for prior experience in VR gaming or motorcycle racing. It also addresses the need for more racing games on the Meta Quest platform that are accessible to everyone."

VRIDER stands out with its blend of photorealistic racing graphics and physics never seen before on standalone headsets, featuring full-body immersive controls and engaging gameplay. VRAL Games' proprietary MotionWellness™ Technology also offers enhanced gameplay settings to optimize comfort and playability for players of all levels and VR experiences, while customized spatial audio captures each bike's unique engine roar, the wind's rush, and the competition's thunderous pace through global real-time multiplayer functionality.

VRIDER players can experience the intensity of superbike racing on faithfully reproduced tracks from the official championship, challenging some of the best riders in the world. The game offers a variety of engaging game modes, from quick races, AI modes, and extensive tournaments, ensuring that both new and experienced racers find their perfect racing experience. With a selection of five highly detailed superbike models from leading brands like Ducati, BMW, Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha, each bike boasts unique attributes such as speed, torque, suspension, braking, and tire grip, challenging players to master their strengths and weaknesses.

"After our successful, decade-long partnership with DORNA WSBK ORGANIZATION SRL, starting with the SBK mobile game version, we are ecstatic to now release this virtual reality game based on the official FIM Superbike World Championship license, marking our entry into a promising segment of the gaming industry," said Giovanni Bazzoni, CEO of Funny Tales. "VR represents the next gaming frontier, significantly enhancing the riding and racing experience with a greater sense of immersion and presence. With VRIDER, superbike and video game racing fans around the world will experience the thrill of competing like never before."
