After almost six years of zero-G competitive action, Ready At Dawn will cease operations of Echo VR on August 1st, 2023 - 10:00 AM Pacific. The time has come for the studio to focus on new projects, which we look forward to sharing in the future.
It has been our pleasure to see this community grow, compete, and bring so much passion to the game over the years. Thank you. More information: https://medium.com/@EchoGames/an-update-on-the-future-of-echo-vr-7f074dca1ed1

Echo VR also features cross-play between Quest and Rift.
Canceling this game made me drop Meta. Easily the most fun and immersive sports game in VR. But Meta doesn't care about that. Instead they promote Population 1 in the Echo lobby... then they kill this unique and special project in order to to push yet another VR shooter game. I'm done supporting them, from here on out I'll only buy SteamVR titles and I'll be looking for another vendor to buy my next VR headset from.
arkenstone of VR. shutting down is a sin. I hate rich jerks like Zuck and Elon buying companies to ruin their work...Worst thing that might happen with a product. After such decisions the only wish is a drop the platform
Regarding the game: this is an absolute gem from the future, with huge 20+k player base and brilliant community, technically perfectly shaped'n'looking... Press F to pay respects...
One of the best games of all time. Echo VR was one of the best VR games you could find on the store, for free. Now it's getting shut down just because it's no longer necessary for Meta to have running. Congratulations Boz, you've succesfully made the community dissapointed. Echo VR was still running ok, and out of nowhere, it's now on it's path to death. At the very least, make a sequel, and make Arena VS AI accessible.
best and most immersive game ever. From having played this game for so long, you start to see it as your second home. Where you meet your dearest friends and make wonderful memories.
just for all of it to come to an abrupt end because some ad guy Boz doesnt want to consider any solutions to keep this game running :c
Why shut down. Echo VR is my favourite game, and is very popular, so why shut it down???? and you promote a shooter game in the lobby?? this game is so unique and it shouldn't go. If you drop this, I go.
just why?. i've been playing this game since bata from my brothers quest 1 and i fell in love with this game like all of these other people so why are you taking it off meta just why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
its been a good run... echo vr has been one of my favourite games for a while, but sadly the news came today that no one was expecting the servers are shuting down soon. 1st august will be when echo goes, its been a good run ECHO VR...

Ready at Dawnに感謝します(メタの恥)。 このゲームは素晴らしかった。悲しいかな、metaは本当に何の理由もなくこれを閉鎖する必要があった。ゲームは死んでいなかったし、彼らはまだ売上を上げていたが、metaにとっては十分ではなかった。echo arenaやecho combatをやっていた身としては、これはMetaがやっている間違いだ、このゲームはまだ我々の心の中に生き続けている。Echo VRのReady at dawnに感謝します。ありがとうございました。

Thank you Ready at Dawn (Shame on Meta). This game has been amazing, sadly meta really needed to shut this down for no real reason, the game wasn't dying, they still got sales but no, its not good enough for meta, hopefully that this game will get a sequel, maybe when the quest 3 comes out. but these new expiriences won't be better then this Masterpiece of a game, thank you ready at dawn for bringing this to the VR world, and shame on you Meta for removing this masterpiece. as a guy from echo arena and echo combat, this is a mistake that Meta is doing, this game will still be alive in our hearts. Thank you ready at dawn for Echo VR, maybe some day you'll come back and give us joy maybe even more joy than before. Thank you.
thank you. (this was done in 19th of nov 2020 but i edited it so yeah)
Right, it's about time i wrote a review for this game. I have being playing this game ever since it release on quest 1. Currently I have a Rift S , but have played this game on my old Quest 1 for over a year and this is one of my all time favorite games. So I'm gonna go though why this game is so great, my time with it and its community
So lets start with the game itself I'm not going to explaining how the game is played or give even a tutorial. Read the games description or watch youtube. The game itself, feels great moving about, is fun there's lots of advance movement techniques. It feels smooth playing the game, is a great but only when you get people at your skill level. However once you get to level 50 (max level) to me it starts to feel more like a social game. Playing as a social game is way better than playing it as a competitive space frisby game. Now lets talk about the games community, which is the reason which brought me to write this review. The community makes this game so so so good and so so so bad. It all depends who you play with, you may get winey rude 6 to 12 yr olds or chill people who just want to play around in the lobby. Or people who want practise there disc skills or whatever. Or people who want to have a fight. So you may be thinking this community sounds like another adverage community. You are right but if you have the patience to find people who are willing to chill out with. Then you will remember them for a long time to come. As for me I have lasting fond memories. To put it in a few words its the kind of fun you'll remember. I have met so many interesting people, many fun people and so many stupid people Thank you so much if you read my little review, well it's not really a review, its more of a love letter.
edit well... now the game is closeing for good. Thank you echo vr. Thank you for making me love vr and thank you whomever you are for reading this.
I'll miss you Echo. Yeah, the community could be a bit toxic some times, but I met some really great new friends in here, had lots of fun with old friends, and the game itself was such a unique and creative idea that showcased what VR was truly capable of even with the restrictions of the technology when it was created. I might play a bit more before the end, but if I can't find the time, goodbye, and thank you.
Save Echo VR. This game has meant so much to so many people. We've met so many great friends and shared so many great times. It's not just a game, it's a thriving community. It's not just a game... it's an entire sport! Don't let this game die. Yo anyone reading, please, if you can, help us put pressure on Meta and save this game that we all love!
ggs strated 2018-2023. I love this game it's all I had in my life but now that it's going to live my life I don't think I will have a life I loved this game at the age off 9 now am 14 getting a job and having to do so much and in high school now why can't things go back to normal ggs all gamers all my user names opgamer34-theviber13-vibe_op-Teeqzo good by.
It's been fun. This game has been so fun to play these past couple years. I have played this game on quest and PCVR. I never thought a little game like this would evolve into something so big, its so sad to see a game like this go away, VRML games are always so fun, I have met so many people in this game that have turned out to be my best friends. Its safe to say echo changed VR forever, everytime I think about this game it gives me some good memories. I will always remember this game as something good, I would tell you to install this game but I guess theres no point. The game will be shutting down on 8/1/23. To sum this up, this is a game that should be remembered as something amazing.
My Reasoning about this game. [Community] 1. It has a decent community 2. Bit to toxic unless you play with many friends to have fun [cosmetics] 3. Cosmetics is pricey and it doesnt really matter if you own any or not [Playspace] 4. Must have a decent sized room to play [reporting] 5. No simple report issue, only through email. :/ 6. many kids or people just swearing all the time eith nobody wanting to report (wasting time reporting since you have to email them) [matchmaking] 7. Sometime's takes a while to join matches (since the game is slowly dying) [competitive] 8. Maybe add a competitive? [NOT VRML] [reporting #2] 9. possibly a report button to report people that say the n word or something [My Final Response] Play the game to the fullest ignore the toxicity and have fun playing pubs and giving it the best experience possible!
Tis good. The game itself is pretty good, the mechanics are fun and easy to pick up, and the concepts are really cool and futuristic, following lone echo's themes. The worst part about this game that makes it not a 5 star, best oculus title, is the community. Im gonna be real here, the people in this game are not the nicest, there are screaming children, and racist and/or sexist people in almost every game during the learning phase. However, I have noticed from my 5ish years of playing the game (as a child who is annoying as all hell), that the more you play the game and the more you improve, the less and less you run into people like this. There are so many discord communities that offer much more calm and reasonable experiences for some of you older folks about, theres a competitive section to the game, and there are an uncountable amount of teams that you can play with to compete in VRML. This game is a definite download for anyone who can take a bit of offense, 10/10 gameplay (apart from some finnicky mechanics), 10/10 addictability, and 10/10 graphics (on the pcvr version of the game).
It's free, give it a try, you probably wont regret it.
guide for the new players. this is a super fun a different vr exsperience. your going to have fun if you play the game for some time, you cant judge a book off the cover and you cant judge this game off your first pub. the skill gap from vrml to the regulars is big but can be overcome. you should have fun with firends and other online players. Its a social exsperience after all and well use that to meet new players and make new friends. I have meet some of my best firends playing this game and the community is a super good and open arms one. you should always have fun and don't take pubs serious as they dont matter. Get involved and play with new players. If you like roeket leauge your sure to like this game.
I love this game. I have 600+ hours on this game and I love it yes the community is somewhat racist but you can just mute em or not listen, The shop is bad but it's just cosmetics and doesn't effect gameplay.
