Shaping Reality
We are on a mission to create world-class VR gaming experiences, and believe VR will have as profound a change to gaming as when mobile games started getting traction in the early 2010s. As creators, we believe focusing solely on VR is necessary to craft revolutionary new ways of play.

2021
A New Us
Fast Travel Games 2.0 is here, presented through the new website, a new office and with a brand new publishing department to help studios bring their creative game concepts to market. $4m in new investments were raised.
We also launched horror game Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife, the world’s first VR game set in the World of Darkness as well as the first ever video game based on Wraith: The Oblivion.

2020
WFH
A strange year for everyone, COVID-19 impacted us as it did every game developer. Home offices were established, and we all started longing for the day when we could get together again.
As one the first studios in the world, we added Hand Tracking to an Oculus Quest game in our puzzler The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets, and saw Apex Construct reaching a new milestone with 100K units sold.

2019
Sarcastic Robots & Cute Animals
A partnership with old office neighbours and VR co-developer Neat Corporation led to the creation and launch of the sequel to one of the classic VR games in Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency.
This same year, we released the 2nd game coming from our studio to critical acclaim, multiple awards and many hearts melted: The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets. We also created and executed The VR Games Showcase at Gamescom along with 5 other VR game developers.

2018
Our very first game
Apex Construct hit the market for PSVR and PCVR to critical acclaim. The game took place in a futuristic Stockholm not far from where our old office was located at the time.
This is also the year when we, as the first developer in the world, hosted a VR content creator gathering in Stockholm, as a preview beat for the game. What a memorable event.

2017
A night in Paris
Our very first VR game, action/adventure Apex Construct, was announced at Paris Games Week in the PlayStation live stream, and we had journalists playing the game in our hotel room. Great memories.
We also won the Startup Launch of the Year award at SUP46 and things were about to become real.

2016
Right at the start
Fast Travel Games was founded by industry veterans with a strong belief that VR would be the future of gaming.
First office was located in the Old Town of Stockholm and the first employee was hired. Little did we know just how bright our future as VR game developers would be.
