About the Game

STRIDE is a high-octane parkour adventure in virtual reality. Fight for your life as you hurtle through the canopy of a futuristic metropolis. Step into the shoes of a master freerunner as you vault, swing, roll, and shoot your way through this intense, action-packed adventure. Will you survive the ultimate freerun?

HORDE MODE
Avoid being touched by zombie players, or infect as many survivors as possible.
KING OF THE HILL
Grab a crown and wear it longer than other players to win. The crown goes to the player who tagged you.
DEATHMATCH
The classic "all against all", up to 10 players in a match. The player's objective is to do more kills than their opponent(s) for that game.
TEAM DEATHMATCH
All players are split into 2 teams, up to 5x5 players. Cover your teammates and hold key locations on the map with useful pick-ups to seize the advantage.
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Steal the enemy’s flag and deliver it to your base as quickly as possible. Try to follow the most optimal path and avoid confrontation.

Endless Mode
Infinite level generation provides unlimited challenging terrain. Build your score by landing jumps over impossibly wide gaps, nailing insane wall-runs, sliding under barriers, and swinging between buildings. There’s no turning back or time to stop - as the world quickly falls apart behind you. Oh, and did we mention the rooftops are crawling with snipers? Pull out your 9mm mid-air and pick them off as you glide across the gap between buildings.
Time Run Mode
Compete for the top spot on the leaderboard. In Time Run mode, it’s all about speed. As the terrain unveils itself ahead of you, you’ll need to visualize your route on the fly, and execute each move with precision.
Arena Mode
In Arena mode, you’re presented with a spacious section of the city’s rooftops, without the pressure of a creeping barrier coming up behind you. You have complete freedom of movement within this complex high-rise “arena” but you’ll be challenged with a variety of tasks. Examples include finding and collecting certain items , completing a specified route within a time limit, stealing an item without getting spotted by the snipers, or - simply - killing all the enemies! Arena mode feels even more like a real city, so enjoy the views… but try not to die.

Rules:

- Each player starts as a chaser or an evader. When the chaser tags the evader, the roles switch.
- The chase winner becomes an evader but no more than twice in a row.
- The time the evader lasted goes towards their team's score.
- A player who falls off the skyscraper loses.
Note❗️ Read more detailed rules in the next posts.
New map for the TC mode:
- An arena where players compete as evaders and chasers.
- A cozy waiting area where players from different teams watch the match and score, waiting for their turn.

- Haptics effects when you're tagging a player or are getting tagged.
And last but not least!

You have all noticed that in the current game version, previously earned cosmetics items are not displayed in the inventory. This was not intentional and we understand why this issue caused such a misunderstanding and negative feedback from you.
Please update the game. All your cosmetics items will be added to your inventory again in 24 hours. This was a technical issue that is now fixed.
The problem with retrieving game server pings has also been fixed. Now it shouldn’t prevent you from playing multiplayer.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Joy Way highly appreciates every player. The devs hope that the new update will be well received.
And we want to remind you there is a new tool that will speed up the process of receiving your bug reports by our developers. Let us know about any issues at https://support.joyway.games/
