Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is the franchise’s big VR swing: a four-player co-op ghost-hunting game that moves the action to San Francisco and leans hard into headset immersion instead of couch co-op or retro puzzle design.
You can play solo, but this one is clearly built around teaming up, managing your gear together, and working through hauntings with a little more physical chaos than the older games ever allowed.
It is also one of the stranger modern Ghostbusters games just because of the format. When it clicks, the idea of scanning, blasting, and trapping ghosts in VR is pretty easy to appreciate.

How Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord plays
This game is built around immersive VR ghostbusting. You track ghosts, use familiar equipment, upgrade your headquarters, and take on missions either alone or with up to three other players in co-op.
That makes it a very different Ghostbusters experience from the retro games on GBWorldHub. The appeal here is less about route-solving and more about teamwork, gadgets, and the novelty of doing the actual busting motions in virtual reality.
What stands out about this one
- full VR ghostbusting with motion-driven equipment use
- co-op for up to four players
- a new city instead of the usual New York focus
- an original villain in the Ghost Lord
