Oh man, where do I even start with this? I was just chilling the other day when I stumbled upon something wild — not wild like a bear in your backyard, but wild in a “what’s happening here?” kinda way. So there’s this game, Animal Company (you heard of it? It’s for the Quest, and yeah, I know you’re thinking, “Oh another VR thing,” but hold on a sec). They dropped this new thing called the ‘Arena Mode’. Now, get this — it’s basically a bunch of players, 6 on each side, running around like they’re on a caffeine high, just blasting each other away. I guess chaos meets strategy?
So apparently, before this update, Animal Company was more about this ‘Adventure Mode’ — like scavenger hunt style, as inspired by some game Lethal Company from 2023 (no clue why these game names sound like they mean serious business). But now, they shook things up with this arena deal. Imagine Minecraft’s ‘Bed Wars’ and sprinkle some VR magic dust on it. Each team gets a base. But you gotta guard your ore like it’s the last chocolate bar on Earth. Or maybe not, because everyone’s just trigger-happy with infinite ammo — think about those pistols, shotguns, and pickaxes going crazy. It’s a lot, like, did they plan for infinite ammo knowing we’d all turn into spray-happy maniacs? Who knows.
But wait — like, before I got stuck in describing the madness, there’s been a lot brewing. They’ve dropped so many updates, it’s like, slow down, I can’t keep up! There’s this Tech Tree, some Mining thing y’know, and a Planetarium kinda deal that I’m still figuring out why it’s cool. But updates are their jam! Oh, and if you’re into high-stakes dizzy spells, maybe try not falling off the Parkour Tower. Probably not for the faint-hearted or those who like their VR with a side of tranquility.
And listen to this, somehow this game blitzed past Gorilla Tag (which was sitting pretty as top dog on Quest’s charts for ages) to grab the number one spot. Like, seriously? I’m not mad, just genuinely confused and impressed. But yeah, go Animal Company! Still holding that spot, if Meta’s weekly chart is gospel.
If you’ve got one of those Quest 2 headsets (or something better) you might just wanna see what all the fuss is about. It’s free, so why not? But be warned, there are micro-transactions. So, you know, watch out for those sneaky cosmetic temptations. Till then, happy VR-ing or whatever!

Just realized I didn’t even mention where you can grab it — hit up the Horizon Store. But yeah, now I’m done.
