Taskmaster VR release date: Steam's UK launch time confirmed
Your time starts... when?
Drop every other task you are doing and be prepared to open a virtual envelope, as Taskmaster VR is upon us - but when does our time in the game start?
As well as taking on challenges in the game around the iconic Taskmaster house and studio, players can have a stab at making their own tasks for others to play.
Are you as good as Alex Horne at creating wacky things to do? It’s a tough pair of shoes to fill.
Horne, the creator of the show, recently spoke to Radio Times Gaming and admitted that he gets frustrated as a contestant, so it’ll be interesting to see how the general audience performs in the game.
But arguably the most challenging thing of all is winning over the Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies, who also features in the release alongside Horne.
We’re all very excited about this one at the RadioTimes.com office, so let’s take a look at when Taskmaster VR is set to launch. Note that the Steam version has run into some last-minute delays!
When is the Taskmaster VR release date?
The Taskmaster VR release date was Thursday 13th June 2024 for players with Meta Quest headsets.
If you're more of a PC person, the Taskmaster VR release date on Steam will be Wednesday 19th June.

Which VR headsets can play Taskmaster VR?
Taskmaster VR is coming to Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro and Steam VR. Those are the only headsets to be confirmed as of yet.
If you want to hear Alex Horne's version of why Taskmaster has found new life as a VR game, check out what he told us in our exclusive interview.
There's been no mention of PlayStation VR 2, Pico 4 or any other headsets at this moment in time. Of course, things can change at any point, and we'll be sure to let you know if any other platforms are confirmed.
It's also worth noting that Taskmaster VR is listed as a 'VR only' experience, so don't go expecting to play it in any other way. You'll need to don a headset one way or another.
Can I pre-order Taskmaster VR?
Taskmaster VR is available to pre-order right now on the Meta website. The recommended retail price is listed at £24.99, with a little discount currently bringing it down to £21.99.
Over on Steam, it doesn't look like pre-orders have gone live yet, but the option to 'wishlist' the game is there. If you do that, you should be notified via email when the ordering begins.
Is there a trailer for Taskmaster VR?
Yes! There have been a few trailers for Taskmaster VR at this point. The latest is the gameplay trailer, which we've embedded below.
We've got extra articles about the announcement trailer and the Creative Mode trailer if you want to watch those as well. Your time, in which to watch all the promo materials before the Taskmaster VR release date on 13th June, starts now...
