While most VR sports games lock players into a single activity, Racket Club is smashing expectations by bringing six different racket sports under one virtual roof. Players can now swing their way through tennis, squash, racquetball, pickleball, pádel, and table tennis, all without changing apps or breaking a real-world sweat.
The game's latest update has officially promoted Pickleball from its experimental Lab area to the main roster, complete with foul tracking and standardized rules that'll make enthusiasts feel right at home. Meanwhile, Table Tennis has made its debut in the Lab, bringing physics so realistic you'll forget you're not at your local ping pong club. The update launched on February 25, 2025 across multiple VR platforms.
Pickleball graduates to prime time while table tennis joins the experimental lineup, both bringing their A-game to virtual courts.
What sets Racket Club apart is its clever use of a 2×2-meter court design that eliminates the need for clunky movement mechanics. Players can focus on what matters – crushing that perfect serve or pulling off a wicked spin shot. The transparent walls add an extra layer of strategy, letting players get creative with angles that would make geometry teachers proud. The data-driven insights help athletes track and improve their performance over time.
The social aspects are equally impressive, with a redesigned club area that feels like hanging out at your favorite sports venue. Players can join public matches to test their skills against strangers or create private groups for friendly throwdowns with pals. The addition of voice chat means you can trash talk (respectfully, of course) just like you would in real life.
The game's progression system keeps players coming back for more, with daily missions dishing out coins for sweet cosmetic upgrades in the Racket Club Shop. Want those exclusive neon sneakers or a gold-plated racket? Better complete those challenges! The VR controllers provide realistic feedback when hitting the ball, allowing players to execute precise spins and shots.
The AI opponents, trained on real player data, provide increasingly tough competition as players improve their skills.
With regular updates based on player feedback and a thriving Discord community, Racket Club has created something special – a virtual sports hub where anyone can become a multi-sport athlete without leaving their living room. It's not just a game; it's a digital sports revolution with a side of social fun.
