Want to play Survivor? Pretty soon, you’ll be able to. And all you need is a headset.
EW can exclusively report that the long-running CBS reality franchise is launching a virtual reality version of the popular TV show titled Survivor: Horizon Island. (Finally, theme seasons are back!) CBS has partnered with Meta on the game, which was developed by Albyon, VR in Review, and Well Played Studios, and can be played on Meta Horizon Worlds beginning on March 8.

The custom world of Survivor: Horizon Island will allow players to take part in all the classic elements from the show, including forming alliances, competing in challenges, and searching for hidden immunity idols. They can also deal with everyday Survivor tasks like tending to the fire, fishing for food, and of course, trying not to get eliminated. And presiding over it all is the Hostmaster General himself, Jeff Probst, whose voice will no doubt at some point implore you to “Dig deep!”
Not only can we report about this new VR extension into the Survivor universe, but we can show you some of it as well. Check out the video above to see footage of the game as well as some of the challenges that await. (See, you don’t have to be like Carson Garrett with his 3-D printer to practice Survivor puzzles. Just put on a headset!)
