CANADA \u2014 June 23, 2026 \u2014 Today\u2019s VR Games Showcase<\/a> unveils the VR update for LANESPLIT<\/a>, the traffic-weaving motorcycle racing simulator developed by solo developer FunkyMouse<\/a>. Feel the thrill of high speeds on PC via Steam VR<\/a> alongside a massive free content update to the base game featuring new bikes, additional weather options, and a new cast of real-world riders as playable characters.<\/p>\n Helmet on, visor down \u2014 feel the speed in true first-person fashion. Get behind the handlebars of 16 high-performance motorcycles, including two new electric bikes with their own distinct sense of speed, handling, and traction. Steer clear of close calls without crashing to jet to the top of global leaderboards, and mind the weather as newly added Thunderstorms can turn dry roads into suddenly-slick asphalt.<\/p>\n Dodge responsible drivers shifting lanes while the drum-and-bass soundtrack intensifies alongside rising speedometers. Collisions cause the soundtrack to screech to a halt while sending riders flying off their bikes with full ragdoll physics.<\/p>\n Burn rubber solo or in multiplayer as a fully customizable rider, or pick one of the new playable characters added to the roster, modeled after IRL motorcycle enthusiasts like Brian636<\/a>, CyborgAngel<\/a>, and GhostRider<\/a>. Put their reflexes to the test in Rush Hour mode, or find peace alone on blissfully empty roads in Zen Mode.<\/p>\n \u201cMotorcycle POV videos from Brian636, CyborgAngel, and GhostRider were a huge inspiration for this content update,\u201d said Shakya Ranatunga, founder and solo developer at FunkyMouse. \u201cWhile the first-person camera angle already lends itself to flow-state gameplay, VR takes the riding experience to another level.\u201d<\/p>\n LANESPLIT is now available in VR alongside a free content update on PC via Steam<\/a>, as revealed in today\u2019s VR Games Showcase.
