Real Cricket VR: Price, Formats and Half-Price Sale on Quest

There’s a new contender for the cheapest paid cricket game on Meta Quest. Real Cricket VR is currently half price on the Meta Store, which brings it down to £3.50 in the UK. That’s less than a pint in most pubs. I haven’t played it, so this is a look at what the game offers, what the store listing and updates tell us, and where it fits next to the bigger names.

If you do decide to buy it, or any other paid game on the Meta Store, you can use my promo code VRCGUY at checkout. It’s my own code, and every use helps support this site.

What is Real Cricket VR?

First of all, Real Cricket VR is a batting game. You see the match from the batter’s point of view, pick up the bat, face the bowler and time your shots. The Meta Store listing sums it up as hitting boundaries and sixes in a realistic stadium with crowd sounds.

It’s listed on the store simply as Real Cricket. However, the store description calls it Real Cricket VR. It went on sale on 30 August 2026.

The developer and publisher is MEPROTECH. According to its privacy policy, the full name is MEPROTECH Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Its website describes it as a software development company that builds apps, web platforms and games, including Meta Quest and VR projects. So this isn’t a dedicated cricket studio like the teams behind iB Cricket or RealBat.

Real Cricket VR price and the half-price sale

Here’s why it caught my eye this week. According to VRDB’s price tracker, the normal UK price is £6.99. It’s currently 50% off at £3.50. In the US it’s down from $9.99 to $4.99.

VRDB says the sale ends on 1 December. Prices on the Meta Store can change quickly, though, so check the listing in your headset before you buy. VRDB also records $4.99 as the lowest price, first seen on 24 October, so this isn’t the first time it’s been cheap.

For comparison, here’s roughly what some other Quest cricket games cost in the UK, based on figures in my earlier posts:

RealBat Cricket VR: £11.99.
VR Cricket Mania: £11.99.
Final Overs: £14.99.
iB Cricket: pricier than these, but still the benchmark.

So at £3.50, it’s cheap enough to be an impulse buy. Whether it’s worth even that depends on what you’re looking for, which I’ll come to.

Game formats and bowling

The store description lists four game formats:

ODI: the full one-day format.
T20: the shorter, faster game.
Super Over: a quick six-ball shootout.
Target Chase: you’re given a total to chase down.

That’s a decent spread for a budget game. Super Over and Target Chase are ideal if you only have ten minutes before the family needs the living room back.

On the bowling side, the listing promises right-arm and left-arm bowlers, pace and fast bowling, right-arm and left-arm spin, and different variations. There’s no detail on how many variations there are or how smart the bowling is. That’s the sort of thing you only find out by playing.

Bats, balls and settings

This is where the game shows a bit of personality. You can choose from three bats, called Classical Willow, Featherweight and Power Slogger. The names suggest different weights or styles, but the listing doesn’t explain how they change your batting.

There are also four ball types: red ball, white ball, rubber ball and hard tennis ball. The tennis ball option is a nice nod to how lots of us actually learned the game. Anyone who grew up playing tennis ball cricket in the street or on the beach will know exactly what that’s about. A rubber ball is a nice touch too.

In addition, the feature list adds batter stance customisation, ball trajectory tracking, shot feedback, challenging fielders, a detailed scoreboard, crowd and stadium atmosphere, 3D sound and six celebrations.

Recent updates

Encouragingly, the game is getting regular attention from its developer, which is a good sign for a newer title. AltLab has recorded several version changes since launch, from version 1.0.4 on day one to version 1.1.1 by mid-October.

Two recent updates stand out:

Match Scorecard Update (27 October): a detailed scorecard with every player’s runs, balls, status and wickets, plus bowler figures for overs, maidens, runs and wickets.
Immersive Match Celebration (3 November): fireworks when you hit a six, with six and four celebrations to liven up the big moments.

Neither of these changes how you bat. Even so, they do make a match feel more like a proper match, rather than a net session. The scorecard in particular suits the longer formats.

Headsets, size and controls

Thankfully, the game has fairly modest requirements. According to the store data tracked by QuestGames.app and VRDB, here’s what you need to know:

Headsets: Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro.
Controls: touch controllers or hand tracking.
Play area: sitting, standing or room scale.
Modes: single player only.
Internet: not required.
In-app purchases and ads: none listed.
Age rating: Everyone.
Comfort: rated comfortable.

The download is small as well. Sources disagree slightly on the exact size, but they all put it at a few hundred megabytes. It won’t eat into your storage.

Meanwhile, the privacy policy is reassuringly short. It says the game doesn’t collect personal information or need an account, and that scores and settings stay on your headset.

Using a VR cricket bat

If you play cricket games with a bat accessory, controller support is the important bit. The game works with touch controllers, so in principle it should work with a controller-holding bat handle. The one I recommend is the Meta Quest 3 and 3S VR Cricket Bat, which holds a Quest 3 or 3S controller.

However, the listing doesn’t mention any bat calibration or offset settings. In other games, those settings line the virtual bat up with the real one in your hands. So I can’t promise how well it will feel. My VR cricket bat guide explains what to look out for, and my guide to space for VR cricket covers how much room you need to swing safely.

How it compares with other VR cricket games

I’ve listed every cricket game I could find in my VR cricket games on Quest 3 roundup, and this is one of the newer, budget entries. Here’s how it looks next to the others on paper.

Against iB Cricket, it’s not really a fair fight. iB Cricket has years of development, big stadiums, multiplayer and a large player base. At the moment nothing comes close to it, and a £3.50 game isn’t trying to.

RealBat Cricket VR is more of a physics-focused game, and it recently added two-player multiplayer with Chase mode. VR Cricket Mania also has head-to-head multiplayer, where a mate bowls at you. By contrast, Real Cricket VR has no multiplayer at all.

Where it does stand out is the match formats and the price. Having ODI, T20, Super Over and Target Chase in one cheap package is decent value, if the batting itself feels right.

The caveats

Before you rush to the store, a few honest points:

No reviews yet. VRDB shows “Not Enough Reviews”, so there’s no player verdict to go on.
No YouTube trailer. I couldn’t find an official trailer on YouTube. There is a trailer on the Meta Store page itself, so watch that first.
Single player only. No online matches or playing with friends.
No career mode mentioned. VR cricket fans keep asking for one, and this doesn’t appear to be it.
Batting only. The listing talks about facing the bowler, not bowling yourself.

None of these are red flags. They’re simply what you’d expect from a small, cheap game a couple of months after launch.

Questions I’d like answered

There are a few things the listing doesn’t tell us. How realistic is the ball physics? Is there running between the wickets, or is it all about boundaries? Do the three bats really play differently? And will multiplayer or a career mode ever arrive?

The regular updates suggest MEPROTECH is still actively working on it. If it keeps going at this rate, it could be worth another look in a few months. You can follow all my cricket coverage in my VR cricket hub.
