Cricket Strike VR is a 2026 arrival on Meta Quest with a very long list of tournaments. World Cups, the IPL, the Big Bash, the T20 Blast and more are all named in its store listing. It’s also one of the pricier cricket games on the store. So here’s what Cricket Strike offers on Quest 3 and 3S, what it costs, what early players have said and how it compares with the rest.
I couldn’t find an official trailer for Cricket Strike on YouTube, so there’s no video in this one. The featured image is one of the developer’s own screenshots from the Meta Store.
If you decide to buy Cricket Strike or anything else on the Meta Store, my promo code VRCGUY is there to use at the checkout. It’s my own code, and it helps keep this little site going.
What is Cricket Strike VR?
Cricket Strike is published by NEXON GAME STUDIO PRIVATE LIMITED, a game development studio whose website lists VR and sports games among its services. It launched on the Meta Horizon Store on 11 April 2026, according to AltLab.
The store pitches it as a true-to-life cricket game for fans who love realism, strategy and match pressure. It also says it’s a physics-based cricket simulation built for Meta Quest. So far it has 3.8 stars from just 5 ratings, which is too few to tell you much.
Cricket Strike game modes
The store lists four main modes:
- Chase Mode, with target-based run chases.
- Super Over, for high-pressure tie-breaks.
- Daily Challenges, with batting and bowling goals.
- Training Mode, for practising shots, timing and match situations.
There’s also a Quick Match mode with 24 international teams, including England, India, Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
Tournaments and leagues
This is where Cricket Strike goes big. The store lists:
- ODI World Cups from 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023.
- T20 World Cups from 2012 through to 2026.
- The 2024 Under-19 World Cup.
- The World Championship of Legends, the Asia Cup and the Champions Trophy.
- Domestic leagues, including the IPL, the Big Bash and England’s T20 Blast, plus leagues from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the West Indies.
For English fans, the T20 Blast is the one to note. The store screenshot of the main menu shows the leagues hung up like banners in a pavilion, with buttons for international, domestic, compete mode, training and a store.
I’d be careful with expectations here. These are tournament formats in the game, and the listing doesn’t say anything about official licences, real player names or team kits.
Stadiums, commentary and stats
The listing mentions stadiums inspired by Abu Dhabi, London and Delhi, with morning, afternoon, evening and night conditions. These are said to affect the lighting, pitch and atmosphere.
You also get AI fielding, Hindi and English commentary, and Hawk-Eye and wagon wheel analysis.
Updates since launch
A May 2026 update added a custom bat grip system, which the developer said would give more control and a more realistic batting feel. VRDB lists the current version as 1.2.
That update ties in with the early feedback. The two reviews shown on AltLab, from April 2026, both mention bat settings. One praises the graphics but says the ball can be hard to see and sometimes goes somewhere unexpected after you hit it.
Cricket Strike price
VRDB currently tracks Cricket Strike at £19.99 in the UK, or $24.99 in the US. It was down to $12.99 in July 2026, so it does go on sale. The store also flags in-game purchases. Always check the Meta Store listing for today’s price.
That makes it one of the more expensive VR cricket games, not far behind iB Cricket at £22.99.
Using a VR cricket bat with Cricket Strike
A custom bat grip system suggests the developer expects players to care about how the bat sits in their hands. If you want a proper handle, the bat I recommend is the Meta Quest 3 and 3S VR Cricket Bat, which holds a Quest 3 or 3S controller.
The listing doesn’t say which bat accessories it supports, so set up your grip carefully and check the virtual bat lines up. My VR cricket bat guide explains the setup.
Comfort and space
Cricket Strike is rated Comfortable and supports standing and roomscale play. The download is about 1.04 GB.
As always, clear plenty of space before you start swinging. My guide to space for VR cricket covers the details.
How it compares with other VR cricket games
iB Cricket remains the benchmark, with a huge player base, online play and years of updates. My iB Cricket on Meta Quest 3 guide explains why it’s still my reference point.
RealBat Cricket VR is cheaper and focuses on realistic physics. My RealBat Cricket VR verdict has the details.
Cricket Strike’s selling point is breadth. No other Quest cricket game I’ve looked at names this many tournaments. The question is whether the batting holds up, and with only a handful of ratings, that’s not clear yet.
Who is Cricket Strike for?
- Fans of franchise and World Cup cricket who want lots of tournaments to play through.
- Players who like variety, with daily challenges and several formats.
- Hindi speakers, thanks to the Hindi commentary option.
- Not ideal if you want a well-reviewed, proven game. Wait for more ratings or a sale.

Final thoughts
Cricket Strike has the most ambitious tournament list in VR cricket, but it’s new, it’s pricey and it has very few ratings so far. If the tournaments appeal, keep an eye out for a sale. For more VR cricket games and guides, take a look at my VR cricket hub.
I’ve also written about Final Overs VR Cricket, which has just had a free 2.0 upgrade, and Irusu Cricket VR, a low-cost Early Access game with DRS replays.
