Rec Room’s newest activity Stunt Runner is now available on all platforms.
The fast-paced racing game pits up to four players trying to outrun one another across a series of obstacle courses. You can run on walls, climb on ropes and bounce, duck or jump your way past the various obstacles.

Rec Room is available free on all major VR headsets plus 2D modes on PS4, PC plus a beta version currently being tested for iPhone and iPad. People can play dodgeball, paintball and even perform entire multi-act plays together in Rec Room.
