Evaluation
Final Approach launched on April 4, 2016 as a room-scale VR title. Following launch, the developer shipped a series of updates: a first-patch feature update in April 2016, "Cargo Drop #1" in May 2016 (adding achievements, challenge missions, and leaderboards), a bug fix patch in June 2016, a Halloween content event in October 2016, an Oculus Touch launch announcement in December 2016, and a second Halloween event in September 2017. The Halloween 2017 event (September 29, 2017) is the last development-relevant post on record. Since then — covering a span from September 29, 2017 through today, June 27, 2026 — there have been no further developer communications, patch notes, content drops, or announcements of any kind. The developer established no roadmap or promise of future content, and no unreleased DLC appears in the store listing. The game shipped as a finished product, received a handful of post-launch updates in its first year and a half, and has been in a state of complete silence since late 2017. The content cycle has clearly concluded.
Evidence

Take control of the skies like never before in a full Virtual Reality world! Airplanes on fire, commuter aircraft low on fuel, mid-air collisions, emergency rescues, and military exercises all need your immediate attention. Manage your aircraft and airports in "God Mode" as you tower over large metropolitan airports, tropical islands, and towering cities. Path your aircraft to safety, avoiding air traffic, fierce thunderstorms, and perilous landscapes. Get those planes refueled, repaired, and back in the air as fast as possible. You will need nerves of steel as you zoom down to "Toy Mode" to fight raging aircraft fires, man the guns and missiles of the battleship, and the worst task of all...Luggage Sorting. Don't waste any time, the skies are full of emergencies that only you can manage. Did we mention the Alien Invasion? Welcome to Final Approach!
Final Approach gives you complete control of the skies around the airports and islands as you tower over the world in what we call "God Mode". Using the HTC Vive or Oculus Touch motion controllers, reach up to grab an aircraft, draw a path from one side of the room to the other, and get the aircraft to their designated runway. In addition to managing the aircraft, the player can use zoom points throughout the game to get up close and personal with various aspects of the terrain. Scale down to real world size, where you can fight roaring fires with water hoses, interact with the guns and missile launchers of battleships, sort luggage, scare off seagulls with air horns and solve puzzles to make your way through the game.
