The mind-melting arcade experience from THUMPER’s Brian Gibson and Rock Band VR’s Mike Mandel has officially landed on PC. THRASHER, once a VR-exclusive on Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro, is out now on Steam—fully reworked and upgraded to deliver its signature audiovisual chaos on traditional platforms.

Originally launched as a VR title and winner of Apple’s 2024 Vision Pro Game of the Year, THRASHER has been rebuilt from the ground up for PC while preserving the hypnotic flow that made the original so acclaimed. Players will guide a luminous space eel through surreal, pulsating alien realms—swooping, dashing, and thrashing through cosmic madness to build up massive combos.

The Steam release doesn’t just bring the game to 2D displays—it supercharges it. The PC version features enhanced visuals, ultra-smooth performance, and a variety of control options across traditional and VR setups.
