About this game

Dead Second is the award-winning rail-shooter inspired by arcade classics like Time Crisis.

"The best arcade shooter on Quest." - Paradise Decay

"Simple, Satisfying Arcade Fun, 5 Stars" - Dec 2024

The Ultimate Welcome to VR Shooter

Enemies across the city have swapped their usual gear for Christmas themed outfits, including elves, toy soldiers, winter mobsters, and other holiday variants that add personality to every encounter.

Depth and Competition for Endless Arcade Fun

Easy to learn but hard to master. Compete against the world for speed, accuracy and score across 8 missions with a huge range of guns and unlockable skins!

Your home base now feels warm and festive, decorated with lights, presents, a glowing Christmas tree, and seasonal props that set the mood the moment you step in. The shooting range has also been updated for the holidays, featuring Gingerbread Man targets and themed breakable items that give practice sessions a fun twist.

Become an Action Hero

Players can unlock a Santa Glove skin to bring even more Christmas style into missions. It’s a simple touch that adds personality and makes every reload feel that little bit more festive.

Feel like John Wick stringing together headshots or Neo from The Matrix dodging bullets in slow-motion. All in super smooth framerate!

Needs better mobility

Add actual movement while in the lobby, its stressful having to use up so much space just to get my gun (also give the option to switch hands when using a gun, its always locked on the one you decide to pick up). Add height calibration like they do in even night club simulator vr. Small…
