Summary

  • Hyper Visor will launch on XREAL Aura as Owlchemy Labs’ new arcade blaster, turning players’ rooms into AR shooting arenas across eight levels.
  • XREAL Aura is Google’s official Android XR hardware partner and the first see-through AR glasses to run the platform, priced at $1,279 for 256GB and $1,499 for 512GB.
  • Owlchemy Labs also pledged five other XR titles for Aura at launch, including Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator, Dimensional Double Shift and Inside [JOB].
  • Aura remains in pre-order with no shipping date, though the trailer says Hyper Visor is “available now on XREAL AURA,” suggesting release is near.
  • The game is designed as a more approachable 2D-style XR experience, with Owlchemy arguing Aura’s sunglasses-like form could lower headset adoption barriers.
