local_offer-30% current discountgroup100k–1M ownersrecommend3.9k recommendations
The Thrill of the Fight is a down-to-earth VR boxing game focused on authenticity. Enter a virtual gym and battle a series of unique challengers with their own styles and techniques. Use timing and skill to land the knockout blow. Evade swings, land jabs, and block punches to become the king of the ring! Room scale is required with a minimum supported play area size of 2m by 2m (6.5ft by 6.5ft). Please ensure your SteamVR Chaperone boundaries or Oculus Guardian boundaries are set up properly for room scale and that you are willing to move and punch anywhere within and around the play area you have defined. Joystick movement is not supported, and you are expected to physically move around in the real-world. Oculus Quest is not supported. Do not purchase the PC version of The Thrill of the Fight to play using the Quest headset. Oculus Link does not fully implement all of the room scale features that The Thrill of the Fight relies on to work properly. The only functional and supported way to play The Thrill of the Fight on Quest is to play the native Quest version.
