Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a game centered on activities other than chess may find the match-and-puzzle format narrow.

- Players without a VR setup who want to play in VR will not be served by the headset-focused experience.
Our take on Chess VR: Multiverse Journey
Players seeking a deep campaign may hit the wall after choosing a scene: the journey changes the setting and opponents, but the core activity remains chess. The listed practice options are AI matches and puzzles, rather than a progression through story chapters.
What is Chess VR: Multiverse Journey?
Chess VR: Multiverse Journey is a VR chess game with online play against other VR users and mobile players.
Players can choose among four settings: a medieval castle, a pixel-styled arena, a spaceship, and a Japanese-style chamber. Chess pieces have animations and sounds, and players can interact with non-player characters and pieces. For solo practice, the game includes 8 AI difficulty levels and more than 200 puzzles. Online matchmaking uses an ELO algorithm to pair players by level. The game combines standard chess matches with scene changes aboard a spaceship, where different opponents and environments appear during the journey.
