Cricket has evolved into a top sport played by billions of people across the world while virtual reality is a technology which has allowed people to immerse themselves in worlds created using computer graphics and modeling software. Cricket has many forms but professional games aren’t available to most people. It is what draws cricket fans to cricket games available on consoles, PCs and mobiles. It is no different to other sports such as football where millions buy and play FIFA games each year.  This is to get the thrill and intensity of a professional football match which they can’t replicate in real life. People enjoy listening to a crowd cheering every goal and to hear entertaining commentaries.

Gaming Trends

There is something which prevents FIFA games from feeling like the real deal. It also prevents the plethora of cricket games from feeling like the player is a part of it and they are on the field and the crowd is cheering for them instead of virtual amalgamations of cricket players. The missing link is that they are playing it on a two-dimensional panel. The difference between a two-dimensional panel and virtual reality is very fascinating. The difference between watching a match on a TV and watching it in the stadium from the front row seats. There is a flaw to this analogy though because in the two situations the viewer is watching from a single perspective but in virtual reality, he would have full control of whichever view he chooses. A virtual reality game is the most immersive form of play.

Virtual reality cricket has few competitors and most aren’t good.  It is due to a lack of competitors and the less adoption rate of virtual reality headsets. In general, not many developers put the efforts required to make an amazing experience which shows its potential.  But there is a game which does it well. iB Cricket is a virtual reality cricket game which can play at home and in arcades and gets the feel of playing cricket right.

Best Virtual Reality Cricket Game

There are many virtual reality cricket games available on Steam for Oculus Rift, Oculus Go, Oculus Gear VR, and HTC Vive. They have poor to mixed reception. Cricket VR is a virtual reality game for Oculus Gear VR headsets. Its available on the Oculus store for PC users and has a poor 2.5-star rating. Its a low budget and free game but its simple gameplay and graphics do no give any justice to what is possible on the headset.

A better cricket experience is available on HTC Vive. The game is called Balls! And is balls to the wall fun but rather shallow and runs off steam quickly. Its available on Steam for $10 and has a positive user review with 17 reviews. It is worth the price it asks for but it's still not a AAA experience. The feeling of having a bat in your hand is lacking and its first-person perspective is rather contrived and not accurate enough to immerse the user in the sport.
