Available now as paid DLC, the NBA Bundle lets users play on virtual replicas of NBA team courts. That also includes “a virtual replica of an NBA team’s court, two different sets of team-branded apparel, and a team-branded basketball.” The bundle will be available for every NBA team, while additional branded basketballs and accessories will also be sold separately.
Gym Class started out on App Lab for Quest, where the developers say it was downloaded over a million times. It raised $8 million in funding in August last year, before transitioning off App Lab to a release on the full Quest Store in October, available as a free-to-play title. The app also offers an optional $14.99 in-game purchase for access to Gym Class PRO, which includes features like customizable private courts and personalized full-body avatars.
The app offers players a full basketball experience in VR, with in-game shooting, grabbing and moving all working from tracked movements of the player. There’s support for several game modes, drills and multiplayer, including 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 competitive matches.
Gym Class – Basketball VR is available now for Quest headsets, and the NBA Bundle costs $19.99.
