Video game speedruns are nothing new, as players have been measuring how quickly they can beat games for as long as they’ve been around. However, VR speedruns are an emerging subsection of the art, and with how much the technology requires players to move around, it can work up quite a sweat, as one\u00a0Half-Life Alyx\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>player has demonstrated.<\/p>\n

As any\u00a0Beat Saber<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>player knows, VR can raise a heartbeat even under normal circumstances. However, speeding up that gameplay and adding in crouching, crawling, and the occasional dash around the room is a surefire way to get the blood pumping, all while setting new speedrunning records. There are few games better at demonstrating that than\u00a0Half-Life Alyx,\u00a0<\/em>Valve’s newest VR game.<\/p>\n

Recently, speedrunner Buffet Time did a\u00a0Half-Life Alyx\u00a0<\/em>run as part of Games Done Quick<\/a>, an event where speedrunners show off their best runs to help raise money for charity. The run utilizes the tricks typically found to help shorten down speedrun times, but the introduction of the physical element makes it unlike any other game featured in the offering.<\/p>\n
