Arizona Sunshine is an Action, Indie, Adventure game released in 2016 that was built exclusively for VR. Set in a sun-baked southwestern post-apocalyptic environment, the narrative-driven campaign challenges players to survive against zombie hordes either solo or in online co-op with up to three other survivors. The game features manual reloading, motion controls, and tactical dodging, with reviewers highlighting how the motion controls make gunplay feel real and the tactile dodging and crouching add to the experience. Players have described the atmosphere as dark, and some note the teleport movement system helps reduce motion sickness. The difficulty is challenging and the experience is relatively short. At $19.99, it holds a 79% positive rating from over 5,000 Steam reviews. It is not supported on Steam Deck.

About Arizona Sunshine®: Built exclusively for VR, Arizona Sunshine® puts you and up to 3 fellow survivors in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Survive solo or in co-op, handle weapons with real-life movements, and explore a post-apocalyptic world in VR. Putting the undead back to rest is more thrilling than ever before.
