RC Car Racing Game ‘Super RC’ Launches in Early Access for Meta Quest
A new remote-controlled car racing game, Super RC, developed by the team behind Ultrawings 2, became available in early access today for Meta Quest headsets.
Priced at $7.99, Super RC offers multiplayer, single-player, and sandbox modes, initially including access to the “Jumper” car and a track creator. Additional vehicles are available for purchase within the game, and players can test them out in multiplayer environments. The game begins with players virtually unboxing their first car and customizing it via an in-game tablet, before progressing through tutorial challenges.
Gameplay focuses on realistic RC car control using the Meta Quest Touch controllers, aiming to replicate the feel of a physical RC controller. Developers have designed locales to encourage a relaxed atmosphere, with environments like suburban neighborhoods offering opportunities for jumps and tricks. This release caters to the growing demand for immersive and accessible VR experiences beyond traditional gaming, potentially attracting a wider audience to the platform. More information about virtual reality gaming can be found at Road to VR.
Bit Planet Games developer Chris Stockman is scheduled to participate in a live play session on YouTube this Friday to answer player questions. Interested players can also join the game’s Discord server for community discussion and updates.
Developers plan to continue refining the game based on player feedback during the early access period.

Super RC begins by having you press something that resembles the “Easy Button” from a Staples commercial, triggering a large box being delivered to your virtual room. Grab the box cutter, and it’s time to open up the package to claim your first car.
The Jumper.
Once the car is out of the box, it’s time to attach the wheels and give it a good look on the rotatable platform. This is also where you can customize it.
An in-game tablet includes tutorial challenges you’re going to need to pass before unlocking any of the other game modes. The basic driving skills are easy enough, at first, but then ramps up to harder tasks like driving up homemade structures and jumping over neighborhood fences. You’ll learn soon enough feathering the throttle is sometimes a better idea than just trying to punch it.
After the tutorial, the map is finally useable, and new destinations are unlocked. Locales aim to unlock a laid back atmosphere for you to play around with your new skills and maybe catch some air while doing it. I love the suburb setting, ramping my little car off curbs into twisting jumps brings back the same sense of joy and wonder I experienced all those years ago while standing in the driveway of my childhood home in a small Texas town.
Controlling the game is done with the Touch controllers, aiming for a satisfying analogue to holding a real RC controller in one hand. Just like a real RC car, it’s a bit difficult to control at first but it’s definitely possible to zip around tracks once you’ve got it handled.
We’re planning to have Bit Planet Games developer Chris Stockman join us for a live play session on our YouTube channel on Friday, so if you have any questions for the developer we’ll be able to cover them then.
Super RC is available now in early access and you can join their Discord server.
