The New York Times has introduced Wordle VR to Meta Quest headsets, allowing players to continue their word-guessing obsession in virtual reality. Similar to the original game, Wordle VR challenges players to guess a five-letter word in six attempts, with the mystery word resetting daily. The game is played on a floating screen with colorful blocks in the background, adding a visual twist to the experience. NYT Games’ general manager expressed excitement about the collaboration and the opportunity to explore new formats like mixed reality. While it may seem unnecessary to don a VR headset just for Wordle, having the app on the Quest homescreen could serve as a gentle reminder for players to keep their streak going. Whether anyone was eagerly anticipating Wordle VR is up for debate, but the innovative approach to bringing the popular game to new platforms is worth noting.
