Fast Travel Games permanently cut the price of the 2024 VR shooter Action Hero in half.<\/p>\n

Action Hero, best described as a blockbuster summer film series come to life in VR, released in December 2024 for $19.99. Players ‘film’ a series of increasingly over-the-top action parodies in a campy adventure that never takes itself too seriously. We played Action Hero at release, saying it “successfully walks that fine line between being approachable for VR newcomers while offering a thrilling campaign for more established players.” <\/p>\n

Fast Travel Games announced in a post on X that Action Hero’s new permanent price is $9.99, half of its original cost. This is not the first time Fast Travel has reduced the price of its games. Sci-fi roguelite Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game<\/a> was cut from $19.99 to $9.99 in early 2025. Futuristic action-adventure Apex Construct<\/a> dropped from $29.99 at release in 2018 to $9.99 in 2021. Cozy puzzler The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets<\/a> started at $14.99 in 2019 and was cut twice, first to $9.99 and later to its current $6.99 price.<\/p>\n
