A Notice on Headset Compatibility

Welcome to Not For Broadcast VR!



The award-winning darkly comedic game of televised chaos that critics have called a “Bizarre masterpiece” and “Quite possibly the best FMV game ever" is now available in VR!

Not For Broadcast VR takes the gameplay, story, and gripping dark comedy of the original award-winning FMV adventure and brings you closer to the news than ever. Get a full view of the entire newsroom, interact with your equipment and punch, slap and grab anything that dares to get between you and the truth.

We promise it’s so immersive you’ll feel like you’re really being electrocuted by your poorly maintained equipment!

Egotistical celebrities, dishonest politicians, and strange sponsors clash on the airwaves. You’re in the chair to ensure that the show goes on uninterrupted. Or at least, that’s what you’re getting paid for. There’s now nothing stopping you from spending all day hitting yourself on the head with VHS tapes, we suppose.

Hand-pick the headlines… with your ACTUAL hands!



Experience the lost art of inserting a VHS tape into a deck through the magic of virtual reality. Carefully position your “air-conditioning” so the news doesn’t overheat and turn spin wildly around your desk during the adverts (watch the cables, though).

Plus, shake your fist in rage at whatever political ideology you don’t agree with (Or at everyone, it’s OK, they can’t see you).

Frame the picture; frame the debate



Keep the general public entertained with your editing skills, and keep an eye on those ratings. Make politicians look greedy or brave, make resistance leaders look noble or violent, and make news anchors look charming or unhinged. Who and what you decide to show on screen might change the course of history. No pressure.

Keep it PG



If VR was invented for anything, it was the simulation of pushing important-looking red buttons. Smash it (or gently tap it; it’ll work fine either way) to keep rude words (and other sensitive information) off the air. Keep the news safe for children and oppressive political regimes alike.

Tune out the chaos, load up the ads, crank up the volume and immerse yourself in the dreams, fears, hopes and neurosis of an entire nation, all while sitting on your floor.

Good game, but some parts feel a little long and repetetive.

I love seeing the world through the eyes of a television editor. Sucks that I can't play it for the other endings as I'm selling my quest.

Not For Broadcast VR is the virtual reality adaptation of the acclaimed newsroom satire created by NotGames and co-developed with Babaroga, published by tinyBuild. Building upon the foundation of the original flatscreen release, this VR edition attempts to translate the frantic, morally complex experience of controlling a live television broadcast into a fully immersive, first-person environment. Rather than simply recreating the original game in virtual reality, it restructures the interaction model to emphasize physical engagement with the newsroom equipment, placing players directly inside the control booth where chaos unfolds in real time. The core premise remains unchanged: players take on the role of a broadcast technician responsible for managing live news segments in a dystopian, politically unstable society. From selecting camera feeds to censoring inappropriate language and deciding which advertisements air, every action influences both ratings and the broader political trajectory of the fictional nation. The satire is sharp and unapologetic, targeting media bias, propaganda, and the absurdities of televised politics. The humor oscillates between slapstick absurdity and …

I was only able to run this through meta quest link since running it straight through steamvr caused my controllers to be underneath the floor. I don't know why this happens and I don't know if it's been patched since there have been no community posts since I bought it but it's too late for me to get a refund so like...yeah. fix your game.
