Viral MR Puzzle Game Wordbound Confirms Hybrid Steam Release
Kettle Games has officially confirmed that Wordbound, a cozy mixed reality word puzzle game, will be released on Steam in addition to its previously announced Meta Quest 3 version. The game gained significant attention last summer when gameplay footage went viral, accumulating over ten million views across various social media platforms. In response to this positive reception, the developer expanded its team to accommodate a more ambitious vision, which includes adding support for both VR and flatscreen modes on PC via Steam. The core gameplay involves interacting with a world where objects are constructed from words; players pull these objects apart to reveal letter tiles, which can then be remixed to spell and create new items. The Meta Quest version will feature hand tracking support at launch. Lead developer Andy Bacon stated that the team is excited to bring this enhanced version to a wider audience through the flatscreen Steam release. Players can currently wishlist the game on both the Quest store and Steam platforms. This expansion marks a strategic move to broaden the game's accessibility beyond standalone VR headsets.
