Meta’s mixed-reality attempt at a Wii Sports knockoff is coming

A new game called Home Sports is coming to the Meta Quest 3 and 3S on December 11th, and from its aesthetic to its music, this $19.99 title is clearly trying to be the Wii Sports (or Nintendo Switch Sports if you like) for mixed reality.

Like Nintendo’s simplistic motion control-based sports series, Home Sports offers several games: hockey, badminton, pickleball, mini-golf, and bowling. It’s playable solo and multiplayer, where your Meta avatar represents you in a match. Meta says the game can adapt to your play space, but it also uses the Quest boundaryless mode for those with access to wide-open spaces.

A blatant knockoff of Nintendo’s Sports series it may be, but I’m not mad.

It’ll be hard to replicate the crucial component of a group of people holding Wii remotes and watching each other fail at bowling. However, this could be a good time, assuming that developer Revolution Games otherwise got the feel right and you have enough headsets to go around.
