Stellar Cafe VR Launches Dec 11 on Meta Quest with AI-Driven NPCs and Voice Interaction
December 5, 2025
Stellar Cafe is a voice-first VR game with unscripted AI NPCs, created by AstroBeam led by Devin Reimer, known for Owlchemy Labs.
The release timing was announced at the UploadVR Winter Showcase, with Meta Quest as the only confirmed platform in that announcement.
The game will use hand tracking as its sole input method and employs licensed technology from Owlchemy Labs.
Stellar Cafe is set to ship on Meta Quest devices—including Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest 3S—on December 11.
AstroBeam first showcased the concept in August, describing it as a bold, Job-Simulator-like experience where NPCs respond directly to spoken input.
The game features human-crafted NPCs that interpret player voice and respond through large language models for real-time conversation.
Although earlier statements did not frame Stellar Cafe as Quest-exclusive, the current update centers on the Quest release.
