Cleansheet Pro Brings Competitive Football Training to Meta Quest This Summer

Sports VR has been creeping toward more realism, and Cleansheet Pro looks like the next push in that direction. Announced for a summer release on Meta Quest, it’s not another arcade kickabout or stylized mini-game. This one’s about training — specifically for goalkeepers — and it’s coming from a team that’s been working with actual football clubs behind the scenes.

What started as an internal tool for professional use is now getting a public version. The core idea is straightforward: throw you in the gloves, make you block, dive, and reach like you’re defending a real net, and track how your body moves while doing it.

Focused entirely on the goalkeeper role

Cleansheet Pro doesn’t cover the whole pitch. You’re not passing or scoring. You’re staying in goal, reacting to shots, and trying to keep clean sheets across increasingly fast-paced drills.

There are no bots to beat or leagues to win. This is a solo performance challenge built around reflexes, timing, and positioning. Targets appear, balls launch, and your job is to make the save — over and over, in different patterns, angles, and velocities. What makes it stand out is how the system tracks full-body motion in real time, offering feedback on how far you dive, how clean your catch was, or how quickly you recovered.

Built-in analytics and performance metrics

The game isn’t just about reaction. It’s wired with detailed performance stats. After each session, you get a breakdown of your reach time, movement balance, and shot coverage. This structure leans more toward athletic training than traditional gaming. You’re not earning XP or cosmetics. You’re working toward improving how your body responds inside VR.

For users with fitness goals, this layer adds meaningful value. It’s not gamified cardio. It’s structured, measurable physical effort — closer to what you’d find in an actual practice session.

Real-world origin, consumer-facing pivot

Originally developed for academy-level and pro athlete use, Cleansheet was used in controlled environments with advanced setups. Cleansheet Pro brings that to Meta Quest in a more accessible form.

While it won’t require any external trackers, the experience is still tuned for players with space to move. It’s designed around standing play, full reach, and active dodging.

By focusing on one position and doing it well, the game avoids feature bloat. You’re not getting eleven roles or endless unlocks. You’re getting one job, and the tools to do it better.

Solo only, but with leaderboard incentives

There’s no multiplayer, and no AI teammates. It’s a solo training loop, but it comes with global leaderboards tied to each challenge mode. That adds a competitive edge for players who want to track improvement or benchmark against others. Scoreboards are sorted by categories like shot reaction speed, save rate, and recovery time, giving you multiple ways to measure skill — not just total points.

It’s a clean structure that keeps the focus on repetition and mastery without distraction. You’re there to get better, not to chase unlock trees.

Summer 2025 launch window, Quest-exclusive

The initial release is confirmed for Meta Quest headsets, including Quest 2 and Quest 3. No PC VR or PSVR versions are announced yet. Its hardware demands are modest, but the game clearly favors users with enough play space for full reach and arm extension. Room-scale is optional but preferred.

In a market where VR fitness often leans toward general activity, Cleansheet Pro goes in the opposite direction. It’s not broad. It’s narrow and precise. And that’s exactly what makes it interesting.
