Irusu Cricket VR is one of the newer cricket games on Meta Quest, and it’s aimed squarely at Quest 3 and 3S owners. It’s in Early Access, it’s cheap, and its store page talks the right language for cricket fans: sweet spots, thick edges, bouncers and DRS reviews. Here’s what it offers, what it costs, what’s changed since launch and how it stacks up against the other VR cricket games.
If you decide to buy Irusu Cricket VR 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 Irusu Cricket VR?
It’s a batting game published by Irusu Studios. It arrived on the Meta Horizon Store in Early Access on 18 June 2026, according to AltLab’s store tracker. Early Access means the game is still being built, so expect changes and the odd rough edge.
The store listing calls it a physics-driven cricket simulation built exclusively for Meta Quest 3 and 3S. You bat against AI bowlers, and the game works out where the ball goes from the swing you actually make.
Early players seem to like it so far. It has 4.6 stars from 14 ratings on the store. That’s a small sample, so don’t read too much into it either way.
What do you get?
Going by the store listing, here’s what you get:
- 1:1 bat tracking. The game calculates sweet spot and power from your real swing.
- Haptic feedback through the controller, so a clean drive should feel different from a thick edge.
- Adaptive AI bowlers, with bouncers up to 150 km/h and sharp spin.
- Active fielding, with fielders diving for catches.
- 3, 5, 10 or 20-over matches, with Power Plays and Super Overs.
- A third-umpire DRS system showing Hawk-Eye, Snicko (Ultra-Edge) and HotSpot replays on the big screen.
- Three stadiums, in Mumbai, Melbourne and London, plus a Net Practice mode.
- Bat skins, career stats and unlockable gear.
The DRS feature is the one that jumps out for me. Watching a Snicko replay to decide whether you nicked it is a lovely bit of TV cricket theatre to have in VR.
What’s changed since launch?
Irusu has been patching the game regularly. Patch 0.4.10, posted on 19 August 2026, added:
- A crosshair between balls, for comfort.
- No more waiting for a next-ball button after a dot ball.
- Improved stadium visuals.
- Other bug fixes.
VRDB still lists version 0.4.10 as the current build. The low version number tells you this is very much a work in progress, which is fair enough for Early Access.
Irusu Cricket VR price
VRDB’s tracker currently shows the game at £6.99 in the UK, or $9.99 in the US. It dropped as low as $4.99 on 23 October 2026, so it does go on sale. Check the Meta Store listing for today’s price.
At that price it’s one of the cheapest ways into a full-match VR cricket game. iB Cricket is £22.99 by comparison.
Quest 3 and 3S only?
The store description says the game is built exclusively for Meta Quest 3 and 3S. Some trackers also list other headsets, so if you’re on a Quest 2, check the store page from your headset before you buy. Quest 2 owners should also read what Quest 2 end of support means for VR cricket.
For the best view of the ball, Quest 3’s sharper lenses help. My best VR headset for VR cricket guide compares the two.
Using a VR cricket bat with Irusu
A game that reads your real swing is exactly where a proper handle makes a difference. Two hands on a grip gives you a more natural bat path than a single Touch controller.
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 name any specific bat accessory, so set your grip carefully and check the in-game bat lines up with the real one. My VR cricket bat guide explains how to set one up.
Comfort and space
The game is rated Comfortable and is played standing. You won’t be moving around much, but you’ll be swinging hard at 150 km/h bouncers.
Give yourself plenty of room on every side and watch the ceiling on pull shots. My guide to space for VR cricket has the details.
How it compares with other VR cricket games
iB Cricket is still the benchmark on Quest. It’s far more established, with leagues, online matches and a much bigger player base. Read my iB Cricket on Quest 3 guide if you haven’t tried it.
RealBat Cricket VR is the closest rival in approach, with a physics-first batting model and now online multiplayer. My RealBat Cricket VR verdict covers how it plays.
Irusu’s selling points are the low price, the DRS replays and the short match formats. Its weak point, for now, is that it’s young and still filling out its content.
Who is it for?
- Quest 3 and 3S owners who want a cheap way into VR cricket.
- Players who like short matches, from 3 overs up to T20.
- Fans of TV-style touches like Hawk-Eye and Snicko.
- People happy to back an Early Access game and watch it improve.

Final thoughts
Irusu looks like a promising, low-cost newcomer with some genuinely fun ideas, especially the DRS replays. It’s early days, and only a handful of players have rated it so far. If you want the full list of what’s available, my VR cricket hub is the place to start. I’ll keep an eye on its updates as it moves through Early Access.
I’ve also written about Final Overs VR Cricket, which has just had a free 2.0 upgrade; Cricket Strike VR, which packs in World Cups and T20 leagues; and CricketX VR, a batting trainer with ball-by-ball delivery controls.
