XGalaga VRDefend the stars. Break the bosses. Set the high score.
The arcade classic, surrounding you. Your playfield floats in front of you inside a living galaxy while planets turn, a starfield breathes and fighters bank past overhead. All fifteen original waves, a boss every tenth, and a best score to beat.
Player’s-eye view
What you see in the headset. Tap any shot to enlarge.
Faithful where it counts
The same reconstruction of the 1998 rules that drives XGalaga HD, running at a locked 60 Hz behind the headset’s own refresh rate. What’s new is everything around it.
A 360-degree battlefield
Seven shells of stars that fall with the playfield’s own, a scatter of brighter stars that twinkle, planets, and three fighters flying banked passes around you.
Your room, or deep space
Play in immersive space, or switch to full-colour passthrough and hang the game in your living room.
Put the screen anywhere
Hold both grips and move it with your hands. Set its size and distance live from the command deck.
A boss every tenth wave
One giant with escorts and minions. It holds formation, fires in fans and lunges at you. Break it and it comes back ten percent tougher, forever.
Twelve pickups
Double, triple and spread fire, extra bolts, machine fire, shields, smart bombs, extra lives, bounties, and the Nova: eight seconds of piercing fan fire.
Positional sound
Every shot and explosion plays from where it happens on the field, under an original soundtrack.
Comfortable
You never move. Seated or standing, no locomotion, no camera motion. Easy, Medium and Hard flight profiles.
Nothing else in the box
No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts, no tracking, no network. Buy it once, it’s yours.

What the app collects. Nothing. XGalaga VR does not collect, store, transmit or share any personal data. It does not use analytics, advertising, accounts or any network connection.
What it stores on your headset. Game progress only: your best score and furthest wave per difficulty, the number of pickups collected, and your audio settings. These are saved in the app’s private storage, never leave the device, and are removed when the app is uninstalled.
Permissions. The headset’s passthrough cameras are used only to show your room behind the playfield when Mixed Reality mode is on. No camera images are recorded, stored or transmitted.
Children. The app is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone.
