About
Hyperwheel Overdrive is a groundbreaking multiplayer VR driving action game that combines first-person arena combat and racing. Pilot a hyperwheel car, 2197’s finest sport combat vehicle, against other drivers, while taking advantage of an assortment of power-ups.
Fire your laser rifle, FPS-style, while driving, and even load up rockets and grenades into the attached launcher on your rifle. Pick up power-ups and use them to completely change the situation. Use a Plane Kit to transform your car into a plane, and then launch some grenades out from overhead! The Boat Kit transforms your car into an ultra-fast boat too!
Play through 10 different match types in 3 large stages:
- Free Play
- Race
- Stunt
- Deathmatch
- Team Deathmatch
- Survival
- Team Survival
- Hunt
- Tag
- Capture the Flag
As you play, you’ll collect race and challenge trophies, as well as golden rings hidden (or otherwise difficult to reach) throughout the game’s 3 stages. These are used to unlock additional game content as you become a more experienced hyperwheeler. Unlock new car decals and driver suit skins, as well as additional stages and race tracks.
Hyperwheel Overdrive’s unique vehicle design combined with the powerfully immersive nature of VR make the experience novel and unforgettable.
Note: The game can be played in a more limited manner without VR, on an XBOX One controller and monitor, but the first-class experience exists on VR hardware and the game is truly made for the virtual reality medium from the ground up.

In Hyperwheel Overdrive, when a player is dead & hasn't respawned, or if they finish a race & other drivers are still racing, they switch to their "Cube Cam" spectator view. Fly it around manually or set it to automatically follow a player.#indiegames #VR #indiegamedev #gamedev pic.twitter.com/xG2uF7Po2e
