Population: One VR Review | Still A Class Act
Population: One on Meta Quest 3: BigBox VR's battle royale returns with the Phoenix Royale update.
New map, redeploys, PvE loot caches — and the same vertical shooter that earned 9/10 four years ago.
Population: One is still one of the strongest competitive shooters on Meta Quest, and the Phoenix Royale update gives BigBox's 2020 battle royale a new map, redeploy mechanic, PvE loot caches, and character classes. We go back to a game we gave 9/10 four years ago and look at what Phoenix Royale changes for casual players, whether it splits the player base, and why everything you can reach is still climbable.
