Thief VR: The return of the classic series with a budget-friendly launch on PSVR and Meta Quest

What you need to know

  • Thief VR is making its debut on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR platforms on December 4, 2025, and can be preordered now for .99.
  • Thief VR is the first VR entry into the classic series and the first Thief game in over a decade.
  • Players embody a new thief character named Magpie in stealth-heavy gameplay, with a voice narration of Stephen Russell, the voice of Garrett in the original Thief series.

It’s been teased and hinted at for months, but the release of Thief VR is just around the corner! The first Thief game in more than a decade is making its VR debut on December 4, 2025 on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR platforms. Better yet, it’s just .99! That’s a lot less than many people were expecting.

The trailer below shows the first-ever recorded Meta Quest 3 gameplay, proving that Batman Arkhan Shadow isn’t the only good looking major Meta Quest title where you can lurk in the shadows. In fact, I had a hard time telling the difference between the Meta Quest trailer below and the nearly identical PlayStation VR2 trailer for the game. That’s an excellent sign for Quest players!

Watch On The Infinite Inside. can be preordered now for a 10% discount, making it just .99. That’s an unheard-of price for such a title and makes it Vertigo’s cheapest big name launch ever.

If you don’t already have a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S headset, I recommend waiting until closer to Black Friday for a good sale. We’ve seen the Quest 3S go on sale for 0 several times recently, and there’s a big chance we could see the Quest 3 get a sale this year, too!
