Published by SPVR and developed by award-winning VR studio nDreams, creators of leading titles “Phantom: Covert Ops,” “Fracked,” and “Far Cry VR: Dive Into Insanity.”
“Ghostbusters VR” (working title) is coming to Meta Quest 2 and will allow players to step into the world of “Ghostbusters” in immersive virtual reality. Run your Ghostbusters HQ in a new city, San Francisco, and solve a deep mystery across a new chapter in the “Ghostbusters” universe.

The world, the ghosts and the iconic tools and equipment deliver the ultimate VR adventure. And most importantly, busting ghosts with your friends is fun!”
