What we know

The launch is official. Mixed News published its report on October 23, 2026, and says Really Interactive announced the October 22 release on Quest 3 and Quest 3S. UploadVR had already reported on October 9 that the game would arrive on Quest 3 that day, so the date held.

The core idea is planets you shape by hand. According to Mixed News, the game supports hand tracking as well as controllers on Quest. That matters for a game built around physically molding terrain. If you prefer to put the controllers down and use your hands directly, you can.

On length, Mixed News says the story campaign runs about six hours and attributes that figure to the studio. Really Interactive’s own press materials, distributed via Games Press, give a slightly wider range of four to six hours. Plan on an evening or two, not weeks.

UploadVR reported the price as $14.99, with a limited-time pre-order discount to $9.99. The Otaku’s Study lists launch pricing as $14.99, €13.99 and £11.99, which matches the studio’s press materials. The pre-order prices were $9.99, €8.99 and £6.99.

The game has had a name change along the way. UploadVR says it was first announced in May 2026 as Janet’s Planets and has since been renamed Terry’s Terraforming. VR Today Magazine says that first reveal came during the Creature Feature & Friends Showcase.

PC VR players will have to wait. UploadVR reports that a Steam release is planned for later, and the Steam store page currently lists the release date as ‘To be announced’ and says the game is not yet available there.

What we don’t know yet

There is no Steam release date. Neither the developer nor the store listing has put a time frame on the PC VR version, so anyone hoping to play on a PC headset has no target to circle.

Coverage so far has not explained the reshaping mechanics in detail. We know you work the planets by hand, but the available reporting does not describe the specific tools, goals or progression systems behind that.

We also don’t know how the game handles hand tracking versus controllers in practice. Both are supported, but no source has said whether one feels better for the sculpting.

Expectations around realism are worth setting. Mixed News describes the game as not a realistic simulation of climate science. That is the outlet’s own characterization, not an official statement from Really Interactive, so treat it as a reviewer’s read of the tone rather than a design promise.

What it means

For Quest 3 and 3S owners, this is a compact, hands-first game at a modest price. At $14.99 for a campaign the studio estimates at four to six hours, you are looking at roughly a few dollars per hour of story. That is in line with plenty of smaller Quest releases.

Whether it is worth buying depends on what you want from it. If tactile, hand-tracked interaction is the reason you own a Quest, a game built around shaping planets with your hands is exactly the kind of thing the hardware is good at. If you want deep simulation or a long campaign, the short runtime and the Mixed News note about realism suggest this is not that game.

If you are on PC VR, hold off for now. The Steam page shows no date, and nothing confirmed points to when that will change.
