About STRIDE

✦ AI summary

Master the art of parkour in VR as you vault, swing, and shoot your way through a futuristic city while dodging snipers and navigating procedurally generated rooftops that crumble behind you. Choose your challenge across multiple modes including endless runs, competitive multiplayer deathmatch variants, and arena-based tasks that test both your freerunning skills and combat precision.


STRIDE is a high-octane parkour adventure in virtual reality. Fight for your life as you hurtle through the canopy of a futuristic metropolis. Step into the shoes of a master freerunner as you vault, swing, roll, and shoot your way through this intense, action-packed adventure. Will you survive the ultimate freerun?

HORDE MODE


Avoid being touched by zombie players, or infect as many survivors as possible.

KING OF THE HILL


Grab a crown and wear it longer than other players to win. The crown goes to the player who tagged you.

DEATHMATCH


The classic "all against all", up to 10 players in a match. The player's objective is to do more kills than their opponent(s) for that game.

TEAM DEATHMATCH


All players are split into 2 teams, up to 5x5 players. Cover your teammates and hold key locations on the map with useful pick-ups to seize the advantage.

CAPTURE THE FLAG


Steal the enemy’s flag and deliver it to your base as quickly as possible. Try to follow the most optimal path and avoid confrontation.

Endless Mode


Infinite level generation provides unlimited challenging terrain. Build your score by landing jumps over impossibly wide gaps, nailing insane wall-runs, sliding under barriers, and swinging between buildings. There’s no turning back or time to stop - as the world quickly falls apart behind you. Oh, and did we mention the rooftops are crawling with snipers? Pull out your 9mm mid-air and pick them off as you glide across the gap between buildings.

Time Run Mode


Compete for the top spot on the leaderboard. In Time Run mode, it’s all about speed. As the terrain unveils itself ahead of you, you’ll need to visualize your route on the fly, and execute each move with precision.

Arena Mode


In Arena mode, you’re presented with a spacious section of the city’s rooftops, without the pressure of a creeping barrier coming up behind you. You have complete freedom of movement within this complex high-rise “arena” but you’ll be challenged with a variety of tasks. Examples include finding and collecting certain items , completing a specified route within a time limit, stealing an item without getting spotted by the snipers, or - simply - killing all the enemies! Arena mode feels even more like a real city, so enjoy the views… but try not to die.

This game used to be great. Unfortunately, they have disabled the multiplayer, which was the best part, and added random security lock targets on walls to shoot to open doors, which ruins the rush, and sometimes the locks bug out, so you lose for no reason. Worst part is they cut out the story, then sold it as a sequel, and made it using AI. Also, the audio is extremely crackly in this game, and no other VR games I play, and I swear it didn't used to be this way years ago. Overall, everyone that loved this game got scammed, so don't bother buying it. Joy Way is known for abandoning games and mixed to negative ratings on all of them. This was the one great game they had, and they ruined it too.

STRIDE is an energetic virtual reality parkour game that turns movement itself into the centerpiece of the experience. Developed and published by Joy Way, it places players above a futuristic metropolis where rooftops, walls, cables, gaps, barriers, and elevated structures become part of a continuous freerunning playground. Rather than relying on traditional first-person movement alone, the game encourages physical interaction through VR controllers, making sprinting, jumping, vaulting, swinging, sliding, and wall-running feel like actions the player is actively performing. The result is an unusually physical action game in which mastering locomotion can be just as important as defeating enemies. The strongest element is the way its parkour mechanics encourage momentum. A successful run rarely consists of one isolated jump followed by another. Instead, the player learns to connect movements together, turning a rooftop into a sequence of opportunities. Running toward an edge, clearing a gap, transitioning into a wall-run, grabbing another surface, and continuing forward can become remarkably fluid after enough practice. The mechanics require some adjustment, particularly because th…

STRIDE is basically Mirror's Edge turned into a VR parkour playground. Running across rooftops, jumping between buildings, sliding under obstacles, and grabbing ledges with your hands feels incredibly satisfying when everything clicks. VR makes the movement feel much more physical, and pulling off a clean sequence of jumps genuinely feels like you're doing parkour. The game also adds shooting and combat to the mix, so you're not just running around — sometimes you're trying to clear enemies while simultaneously moving through the environment at ridiculous speeds. It can take some getting used to, especially if you're not accustomed to fast VR movement. Once your VR legs develop, though, flying through the city becomes incredibly fun. **9/10 — wanted to become a parkour expert, discovered my real skill was falling off buildings in VR.**
