MiRacle Pool is a mixed reality (MR) billiards game developed by Pixel Works Studios and published by 2080 Games.[1] The game will be released for Meta Quest headsets on June 20th, 2024.[2]

Gameplay

edit

MiRacle Pool is played using Quest VR controllers in each hand. The game was built on the foundation of realistic ball physics that were refined over multiple years, starting with the developer's past game Black Hole Pool. MiRacle Pool uniquely features a bottom-up mixed reality design and "lock and shoot" mechanism for more controlled cue stick handling.
