This cat-collecting VR game is going viral, so now I'm tempted to pick up a headset just to play the best version of my favorite mobile game

I didn't expect this cat-collecting VR game to𝄹 be one of the most exciting games of 2023 but here I am wishing I had a VR headset to play it. 

Developer Hit-Point Co, who you may know from the mobile game Neko Atsume, has taken its pet simulation game to the next level and♛ turned it into a VR title. In the original game, players needed to create a welcoming space for local cats to hang out, offering everything from places to lounge, toys to play with, and food to snack on throughout the day. 

. It's perfect for those unable to have real cats in the house, or who just want the fun of owning a pet without any of the real commitment. 

There's been a lot of VR content over the years that I've missed out on due to not having any kind of headset (including Psychonauts and the Rhombus of Ruin and the Kingdom Hearts VR Expe💃rience) but🌌 nothing has got me thinking more about picking one up than Neko Atsume. Despite the fact I know plenty of real-life cats I could interact with. 

This is just one of the adorable pet simulation games I've been excited about this year. Just a few months ago, I also discovered a game exactly like Neko Atsume - but this time with dogs. Just like in the cat collecting sim, in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Inu no Oyakume you're tasked with creating a home for stray dogs. These dogs are a little more loyal than the cats though, and will fight monsters on behalf of the pla✤yer, what good bois. 

Neko Atsume VRꦺ is available now and is compatible w✨ith Meta Quest and PS VR headsets.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a 𒆙number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
