EVEREST VR™

I personally loved this. I don't look at this as a game, more of an experience and educational trip. Once done with the initial expedition up the summit, spend some time in the Seeker section. There's more educational stuff there and audio files from experts. It's very informational. Then if you want some real scale, go to god mode and set the scale to the lowest, actual human size. It's pretty cool. I highly recommend this, especially if you are a fan of or interested in Everest.

don't work. crappy game

Freakin amazing. Feels like you are there

Everest VR is a virtual reality experience that prioritizes presence, scale, and atmosphere over traditional gameplay, aiming to place the player directly onto the slopes of the world’s highest mountain. Rather than presenting itself as a challenge-driven climbing simulator, the experience is structured as a guided expedition that emphasizes what it feels like to stand in such an extreme environment. From the very beginning, the focus is on immersion: towering ice formations, vast snowy expanses, and dizzying drops immediately communicate the danger and majesty of Everest in a way that flat screens simply cannot replicate. The journey unfolds through a series of carefully staged locations that mirror key moments of a real Everest ascent, starting from Base Camp and progressing upward through iconic areas before ultimately reaching the summit. Each section is designed to showcase a different aspect of the mountain, whether it’s the treacherous icefalls, exposed ridgelines, or the thin, unforgiving atmosphere near the top. Movement is slow and deliberate, reinforcing the idea that this is not about speed or mastery, but about absorbing the environment and understanding the scale of …

For about $5 on sale, it's even recommendable. The graphics are still surprisingly beautiful. There may not be much gameplay, but you can walk around the entire area in God Mode at various scales, including 1:1, and the night shots are breathtaking. It's a shame they didn't offer the option to change time in God Mode, just like it is changing to night in Story Mode.

I feel compelled to defend Everest VR a bit in light of some of the other reviews on here. For what it is, this experience is incredible. I bought it back in the day for PSVR1 and it blew me away, and as I've just recently gotten back into the Everest rabbit hole, I've bought it again on PC. It's a short and simple experience, but there's no better way to visit Everest aside from spending a fortune and leaving your family behind. Now it's just as easy as plugging in, putting the headset on and leaving your family behind in the comfort of your own home! It's an incredible experience to be reading about certain struggles or achievements that happened in real life, then hopping over into VR to get a feel for what those people were actually up against. It enhances the impact of the stories and adds a profound appreciation for the physical achievement of getting up that hill. The sense of scale in God Mode is unbelievable, and the little historical bits and information is very cool too. For 10$ it's a great experience if you have any interest or appreciation for the mountains. My only complaint is that I wish you could fly around in God Mode rather than the teleport travel.
