Evaluation

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades reached its 1.0 release on July 4, 2026 — today — with Update 120, ending over 10 years of development. The developer, Anton, described this as the culmination of a decade-long journey that included 120 updates and an enormous amount of community-driven content. The game launched out of Early Access with a significant final update that brought major additions including new Take & Hold modes (Blitz, Rampart, and Sandbox), a new Lucky Looter character with a flexible loot system, the H3VR Studio authoring app with full Steam Workshop support, the new Gameplanner wiring system, and a new BBQ Range scene. However, the developer was explicit in the launch post that this is not the end of the game's content. The post states that there are still bugs to fix, a Credits scene to complete, support needed for an upcoming Steam Frame peripheral, and — most notably — "an entire second sosig-ee adventure to bring into the world." The developer described Update 120 as "the end of a chapter/act of a larger story," and expressed excitement about what is to come. Additionally, the developer announced on May 6, 2026 that a full sequel, H3VR 2, is in development as a separate ground-up game — this is a distinct product and not content planned for the current game, though it signals the studio's continued investment in this franchise. Post-1.0, the developer also indicated a shift in update cadence: rather than weekly Friday patches on the experimental branch, updates will arrive when warranted by the magnitude of the change, with larger bug fix batches released approximately monthly.

Evidence

1.0 launch post confirms the game has left Early Access with Update 120. Developer explicitly states future plans include bug fixes, a Credits scene, Steam Frame support, and 'an entire second sosig-ee adventure to bring into the world,' calling this 'the end of a chapter/act of a larger story.'

About this game

Do you like hot dogs? How about horseshoes? Hand grenades? (everyone likes hand grenades) Anyway, we've got all that, and guns. SO MANY GUNS. So if you like ordnance, meat, and groan-worthy puns, this is the VR sandbox game for you.

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (H3VR for short), is the heaping pile of our mad obsessive VR experiments. This has been an impressionistically developed experience, over 10+ years and a 120+ updates.

Gear Up

Plink & Train

Try out your favorite platforms on H3’s suite of Firing and Demolitions ranges. Improve your aim and reaction time in the M.E.A.T.S. target shooting trainer and Compete on global leaderboards.

Explore a Meaty ‘Murica

Dive into a Wiener’s Weird World; a land overtaken by confused but affable sentient meat and the ruins of bizarre firearm themed attractions. Experience an absurd fragmentary tale told through multiple genres of game.

Celebrate

Enjoy the various goofball holiday event modes the game has gotten over the years, including our much beloved biennial Meatmas Firearm Advent Calendar.

Take & Hold

Battle your way through this Sci-fi Action Roguelite. In Take & Hold you are the intruder to the system. Equip yourself to take and then defend control points, while defeating Encryption Targets of escalating complexity. Earn tokens for your performance and spend them in item shops to prepare for the next wave.

Return of the Rotwieners

Awake outside the town of Wienerton, where a plague of rotten undead meat has beset the eccentric townsfolk of the Honey Hamlet. Find weaponry, craft powerups and explosives, and complete quests on your journey to discover the cause of the Rotwiener outbreak.

Meat Fortress

Fight in the Meat Fortress combat arena. Made with the official permission of Valve, this loving homage to one of our favorite games has Meaty parodies of Team Fortress 2’s 9 iconic classes, and VR adaptations of the entire original firearm set of the game, as well as over a dozen original creations made in the TF2 style.

Wurstwurld

Explore the ruins of the Wurstwurld amusement park. Solve puzzles, complete extreme horseshoe challenges, stand off against robit bandits and collect old logs that reveal the background on the most foolhardy and most assuredly not child safe amusement park doomed to failure.

Meat Grinder

Survive the Meat Grinder, the very first game mode added to H3 back in 2016. Navigate by flashlight through a surreal hellish fast food themed maze, collect precious ammo, defending against animatronic assailants, and dragging the ‘meat’ back to the Grinder in time.
