Thumper, a beloved rhythm game known for its exhilarating soundtrack and mesmerizing visuals, has a spiritual successor that fans have eagerly awaited. Brian Gibson, the creative force behind Thumper, has teamed up with Mike Mandel under their new development label, Puddle, to bring Thrasher to life. Initially exclusive to VR platforms, the game is now expanding its horizons.
Thrasher Hits Steam
When Thrasher launched in July 2024, it was limited to VR devices like Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro. Today, November 7, 2025, marks its debut on Steam, allowing a wider audience to experience the game’s thrill. Not only is it available for PC VR, but it also offers a traditional flatscreen option for non-VR enthusiasts.
A Visual and Auditory Feast
Thrasher promises an immersive experience with its dazzling array of lights and sounds, potentially rivaling the audiovisual spectacle that Thumper delivered. Currently, there is no official word on whether Thrasher will be available on Xbox or PlayStation consoles, including PS VR2, but the groundwork for a PC flatscreen version may indicate future expansions.
Dive into Thrasher’s World
PC gamers can now explore Thrasher’s vibrant universe, featuring 27 levels across nine main stages and three different game modes. For those who already own Thumper on Steam, a special discount awaits for Thrasher. Newcomers can also enjoy a 10% launch discount for a limited time. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to dive into the rhythm.
Fans of rhythm games should also keep an eye out for Lumines Arise, another promising title in the genre.
Thrasher makes its eagerly anticipated Steam debut, offering both VR and non-VR experiences.
