Traveling to Austin and looking for a unique, adrenaline-fueled experience? This VR PvP game, set in a sci-fi universe, might just be your next adventure. It’s a quick 30-minute session with intense action, perfect for gamers, tech lovers, or anyone craving something different.
What draws us in are the immersive gameplay and the chance to deploy in a remote mech rig to battle rivals—ideas that sound like childhood dreams come true. We also appreciate that the experience is suitable for all ages, making it accessible for groups of friends or families with older kids. But, on the flip side, it’s a physically interactive activity—so if you’re not into high-energy virtual combat, it might not be your thing.

How the gameplay flows

Once you arrive, you’ll be briefed on the controls and the gameplay. The actual game lasts about 30 minutes, which is just enough time for a few matches without feeling overwhelming. You can choose between competitive matches or more casual play, so it suits those who want to test their skills or just have fun shooting and defending.
During the game, you’ll step into your remote mech rig—a physically active experience that requires some movement and interaction. Players fend off opponents aiming to claim the valuable Sol, with the goal of making the biggest score before the session ends. The action is fast-paced and immersive, thanks to the advanced VR equipment used by Zero Latency VR Austin.
What’s included and what’s not

Your ticket includes 30 minutes of VR gameplay and the use of all necessary VR equipment. This is quite straightforward—just show up ready to move and play. Food and drinks are not included, and transportation to the venue is up to you.
Since the activity is physically interactive, wear comfortable clothes and shoes. The experience is described as highly physical, so don’t come in tight or formal clothes. Also, arrive about 15 minutes early to give yourself enough time to settle in and get a quick briefing.
Is it suitable for everyone?
The experience is generally appealing to adults and older teens, with a minimum age of 9. It’s not recommended for pregnant women, anyone with epilepsy, or children under 9, mainly due to the physical nature and visual intensity of the game.
It’s also worth noting that the experience isn’t designed specifically for families, but it could be a fun outing for groups of friends or gamers. The intense, competitive action makes it less ideal for very young children or those who prefer calm activities.

From what we’ve gathered, players enjoy the highly interactive and physical nature of the game. One review pointed out that the game “fends off opposing raiders,” highlighting the fun in competing against real people rather than AI. The emphasis on casual fun combined with competitive play means it’s a good pick if you want a game that’s not overly serious but still engaging.
Some reviewers mention the small group size as a real plus, making the experience feel more personal and less chaotic. The VR equipment quality also gets high marks for making the game feel realistic and immersive.
However, a few players note that the 30-minute duration is a bit short if you’re looking for a full day of activities, but for a quick thrill, it hits the mark. Plus, since the price is about $40 per person, it offers good value for the tech-heavy experience.
