Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-driven adventure or role-playing campaign rather than repeated competitive matches

- Players looking for a broad range of currently available modes beyond Free-For-All, Team Deathmatch, and TopShot
Our take on Arrowborn
Instead of keeping archery grounded and stationary, Arrowborn applies first-person shooter movement to VR bow combat. Players run, leap through the air, use cover, block attacks with shields, and compete in modes that include both team combat and accuracy testing.
What is Arrowborn?
Arrowborn is a multiplayer player-versus-player VR archery game with free movement, aerial leaps, cover, shields, and magical arrows.
Matches support up to 10 players or Bots across modes including Free-For-All, Team Deathmatch, and TopShot, which focuses on shooting accuracy. Players can select arrows with different effects, attach gems to armor, and choose defensive or mana-focused setups. Shield use can block incoming attacks and contribute to scoring. Movement includes running through corridors, jumping across cliffs, and moving over buildings without teleportation. The game is also available for arcades on SpringboardVR.
