Xploit Tower Defense is a mixed-reality tower defense game, which blends the player’s real room with virtual game elements, and players protect Memory Cores from viruses in what techmash.co.uk described as a mixed-reality cyber-invasion experience; enemies include ground-based Crawlers and flying Malworms. Players use hand tracking to build and position turrets directly in their surroundings, and COGconnected said players use their hands to construct and position turrets, while VR Cricket Guy said the Meta Store listing says the game scans your space, so furniture becomes cover or chokepoints. Players can also swat flying Malworms and missiles out of the air by hand using Quest 3’s mixed-reality cameras or passthrough tracking, which uses the headset’s cameras to show the room.sources

The game offers Countdown Mode and Infinite Mode. Infinite Mode challenges players to survive endless waves and includes a global leaderboard. Countdown Mode involves five-minute enemy assaults.sources

The game features nine different enemy types. Players can grab power-ups including a hand-equipped cannon.sources

The store page says players can use hands or controllers, a useful option if hand tracking struggles in a player’s lighting. The developer says each room makes invasions different.sources

COGconnected and VR Cricket Guy say Xploit Tower Defense costs $9.99 and includes a free demo on the Meta Quest Store. VR Cricket Guy said the press release gives the price and that the demo covers the start of the invasion, while COGconnected said the free demo lets players try before spending $9.99. VR Cricket Guy reported on Nov. 11, 2026 that AAA Game Studios says the game launched on Quest 3 on Nov. 10 for $9.99 with a free demo, said the information came from the launch press release, and noted COGconnected reported the same price and launch day.sources

Earlier reports left the price open. HappyGamer reported on Sept. 23, 2026 that the press release did not list a price and said the pricing detail stayed open until closer to launch. techmash.co.uk reported on Sept. 22, 2026 that the price was to be confirmed, listing launch date, platforms, language, and demo availability but leaving price unconfirmed. On Nov. 11, 2026, the Meta Store page still showed Fall 2026 rather than a buy button and price, according to VR Cricket Guy, who said this may just be a delay in the listing updating.sources

Antonio Marín is CEO and co-founder of AAA Game Studios. AAA Game Studios is a Madrid team of 25 people. Lenya Digital had not released a major mixed-reality title before Xploit Tower Defense. HappyGamer reported that Stride PR gave outlets early Meta access keys before launch, said the pricing detail stayed open until closer to launch, and said the press release did not include a public trailer link or store page.sources

Antonio Marín said “it only takes a few minutes until omni-directional attacks, each demanding a different strategy, fight for your attention.” He also said “Mixed reality lets everyday objects become game elements, creating a true battlefield right in your own room.”sources

techmash.co.uk said the demo offers two turret types and three enemy variants out of nine total. Countdown Mode in the demo has 5-minute assaults across two difficulty levels, and Infinite Mode includes a global leaderboard. Infinite Mode unlocks after surviving Countdown.sources

VRDB’s store tracker lists Quest 2, 3S, 3 and Pro as supported, marks mixed reality support as No, and says an internet connection is required. Meta’s refund policy covers games under two hours long within 14 days. The Great Flood VR, a free-to-play player-versus-player strategy game for up to four players, launched on Quest on Nov. 9, 2026.sources
