ForeVR Pool VR: platforms, modes and setup
Which ForeVR Pool edition do you need?
Meta Quest standalone: Meta lists ForeVR Pool for Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3 and Quest 3S. That is a headset-installed app, not PC streaming: Meta lists supported platforms and a 2.15 GB space requirement, and says an internet connection is required. The store listing also identifies sitting, standing and roomscale play, tracked controllers and a Comfortable comfort level. Meta’s official listing is the source for those details.
SteamVR PC VR: The Steam product is a separate PC VR edition, marked “VR Only.” Its minimum specification is Windows 10, an Intel i5-4590 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X (or greater), 8 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD 400 Series (or higher), DirectX 11, broadband internet and 3 GB available storage. Steam explicitly lists SteamVR, Meta Quest 2 and HTC Vive under VR support. A Quest owner choosing this route needs a VR-ready Windows PC and a PC-to-headset streaming method such as Link, Air Link or Steam Link; buying the Steam edition does not turn it into a native Quest install. Check the official Steam page before purchase because the requirements and supported hardware are the publisher’s current PC-side record.
PlayStation VR2: The official PlayStation Store page describes a PS5 version that requires PlayStation VR2 and PS VR2 Sense controllers. It supports sitting, standing and roomscale play; PS Plus is required for online play, online play is required, and the listing supports up to two online players. PlayStation also states that roomscale requires a minimum 2 m × 2 m play area. This is a console VR edition, not a PC VR copy, so buy it from the official PlayStation listing if PS5 is your platform.
What can you actually play?
The core loop is virtual billiards rather than a generic room-scale demo. ForeVR’s official game page describes five pool halls, 50 custom cues, optional aim-assist target lines and match settings, and a physics system built for spins, jumps and trick shots. You can challenge 12 NPC pros, progressing toward Legendary challengers. The Meta listing confirms single-user and multiplayer modes, while Steam spells out 8-ball, 9-ball and practice modes. The PS5 listing confirms 8-ball, Quick Match, private multiplayer and the 12-bot challenge; its store copy does not separately enumerate every Steam mode, so do not assume perfect feature parity between editions.
For playing with another person, the official listings are unusually specific: public and private 1v1 multiplayer, Quick Match, and local Pass & Play by sharing one headset are advertised by ForeVR and Meta. Steam additionally labels online PvP, shared/split-screen PvP, cross-platform multiplayer and tracked-controller support. On PlayStation, online play is capped at two players and requires PS Plus. ForeVR’s own page mentions “2v2 coming soon,” but that is a forward-looking note rather than a promise that the mode is currently available.
Controls, comfort and practical setup
The game’s official description reduces the interaction to “AIM, LOCK & SHOOT,” with cue-and-ball physics doing the important work. On Quest, begin from the Meta store on the headset, install the app, allow the required internet connection, and clear the listed 2.15 GB. For PC VR, install the Steam edition on the Windows PC, install or launch SteamVR, then connect the headset using your chosen supported streaming path; Steam’s minimum PC specification is the part to check before buying. For PS VR2, install the PS5 version and connect the Sense controllers; online matches also require PS Plus.
ForeVR’s official update notes document smooth locomotion under Settings > Movement, alongside improved cue hand placement, table-height adjustment work and tutorial improvements. Those notes are historical update documentation, so menu labels or availability can change. Meta and PlayStation both list sitting, standing and roomscale, giving you flexibility to start seated and choose a larger safe area when wanted. Keep real furniture and other people clear: PlayStation’s roomscale guidance is a concrete 2 m × 2 m minimum, while Meta warns players to be mindful of physical obstacles.
Buying and compatibility pitfalls
- Do not confuse Quest standalone with Quest PC streaming. The Meta listing is the native Quest app; the Steam listing is the Windows/SteamVR purchase with PC requirements.
- Choose the store for the headset you own. Meta, Steam and PlayStation list distinct editions. The developer’s page links all three, but it does not state that one purchase grants every version.
- Check multiplayer prerequisites. Meta says an internet connection is required; Steam requires broadband; PlayStation requires PS Plus for online play.
- Do not treat store reviews as a compatibility guarantee. VRHow has not independently tested performance, tracking, cross-play or current service reliability. The official pages also do not publish a complete cross-save or cross-buy policy, so those points remain unverified.
