If you’ve ever wanted to literally swat computer viruses out of the air, Xploit.zero is about to make that power fantasy a reality. AAA Game Studios has announced that its mixed-reality tower defense game launches on Meta Quest 3 on Tuesday, March 17, tasking players with defending the final bridge back to reality inside a corrupted supercomputer.
In Xploit.zero, you’re dropped straight into a supercomputer’s mainframe and cast as a human firewall. The mission is simple, but the stakes are high: stop weaponized malware and incoming DDoS-style attacks from overrunning the system, or risk being trapped in the virtual world forever.
As the game unfolds, your real-world environment transforms into a digital warzone. Players place defensive structures along enemy paths while staying alert for airborne threats that can strike from any direction. Flying Malworms are especially dangerous, capable of instantly destroying friendly turrets if they aren’t dealt with quickly — often requiring hands-on intervention.
Defeated viruses drop Memory Cores and floating coins, which can be used to expand weapon capacities or stockpile resources to construct stronger, more resilient turrets before the next wave hits. The balance between spending upgrades immediately or preparing for future attacks plays a major role in long-term survival.
Xploit.zero offers multiple ways to test your skills. Countdown Mode delivers timed levels with escalating difficulty, challenging players to optimize their strategies under pressure. Infinite Mode, on the other hand, lets you choose a difficulty and defend the portal back to reality for as long as possible, pushing endurance and efficiency to the limit.
Competitive players can track their performance via global leaderboards, comparing completion times and survival records with defenders around the world while chasing new personal bests.
Xploit.zero launches exclusively on Meta Quest 3 on March 17, with English language support at release. For additional details and future updates, players can visit the official AAA Game Studios website, follow the game on X (formerly Twitter), and keep an eye on the hashtag #XploitZero.
