About the Game
Vertical Shift is a fast, momentum-driven VR e-sport built around three core tools of movement: dual grapple hooks, jet-assisted boosts, and a wingsuit-style glider. Mastering the flow lets you carve aerial lines through Orion’s neon skyline, then dive into competitive arenas or story content that shows off the sandbox’s speed and freedom.
Modes span both PvP and PvE: Freeze Tag, Hot Seat, Infection, Race, and a single-player campaign that explores the city of Orion. Cross-play support and VR-first input keep everyone swinging together.
