Today, June 9th, 2022, is The Summer Game Fest’s big opening event! So from now until Monday, be prepared for a bombardment of articles by us with news on cute and wholesome games! Let’s start with how Triband, the developers that gave us the hilarious golf-but-not-really-golf sim WHAT THE GOLF, announced a new game! WHAT THE BAT will be another silly physics-based game but in VR (virtual reality).
There’s not much actual baseball involved with WHAT THE BAT, but you can use your baseball bat arms to, well, bat things. This means there will be 100 unique levels of batting, cooking, shooting, smashing, parking, painting, pickling, so on and so forth. Yes, you will also be able to pet the dog, although that makes me sort of nervous in this case.
Coming to Meta Quest 2 and Steam in 2022
You can Wishlist WHAT THE BAT on Steam here. However, don’t be too discouraged that it will only release for PC, as we know WHAT THE GOLF later came out for the Nintendo Switch.

What The Golf? is the craziest golf-ish game and it released for Nintendo Switch today.
What the Golf? is a physics based golfing style game that takes everything you know about golfing, and throws it right out the window. Want to score a birdie? You’re going to have to hit a bird. Sounds a bit morbid, but it is just crazy silly fun with surprising twists at every turn.
This crazy golf style game releases today for the Nintendo Switch, and is available through the eShop (currently on sale) for just $14.99. Not only did the game release on sale, but also with a brand new trailer that you can view below.
While this eSports title does revolve around the world of golf, I wouldn’t expect much golfing as you might normally expect. Especially considering the hook for this game is that it is the golfing game for people who hate golf! Does all this sound as confusing to you as it does to me, don’t worry, the trailer below will hardly clear that up.
