Title: MLB's Home Run Derby VR launches on the Meta Quest Store

If you're part of the intersection of virtual reality enthusiasts and major
league baseball fans, then there's good news for you. MLB has launched Home
Run Derby VR on the Meta Quest Store, making it available for Quest 2, Quest
3 and Quest Pro users. The game was previously on Meta's App Lab.

MLB Home Run Derby VR gives gamers the chance to explore 30 different
ballparks and play up to 100 different levels. "This upgraded game offers an
exciting opportunity to experience each venue like never before and utilizing
advanced motion controls and realistic batting mechanics, users can step into
the virtual batter's box to emulate their favorite sluggers from anywhere in
the world," MLB shared in its announcement.

The game also offers multiplayer mode for up to four people or tournaments
for up to eight. Users can choose winners by score, fastest exit velocity or
longest home run. Plus, achievements can unlock bat skins, batting gloves and
more for their Meta avatars. MLB Home Run Derby VR is available for $30 in
the Meta Quest Store, but non-Meta users can pick it up on Rift or Steam VR
platforms.

This launch isn't MLB's first foray into VR: The organization hosted its
first "virtual ballpark" regular-season game in September. The experience
allowed viewers to "enter" the stadium and watch avatars correspond to real-
time gameplay between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Angels.
