In a surprising twist, UFC star Conor McGregor has launched a new virtual reality game titled “McGregor’s Challenge.” In this game, players can step into the octagon with a virtual McGregor, facing off against his signature moves in a battle of digital wits and fists.
However, the game has quickly become notorious for more than just its realistic graphics. Players around the globe have reported that their VR headsets and controllers are not surviving the experience. “I was ready for a virtual fight, not a real-life controller smash,” tweeted one frustrated gamer, whose headset now sports a crack that looks suspiciously like McGregor’s smirk.
Tech experts are baffled, with some suggesting that McGregor’s digital punches carry a “knockout code” that physically impacts the hardware. “It’s like his virtual fists are programmed with the force of his real ones,” remarked a tech reviewer, who had to replace his setup after a particularly intense session.
McGregor, ever the showman, responded with his trademark confidence, “If you can’t handle the virtual heat, stay out of the digital kitchen.” Meanwhile, sales of the game have skyrocketed, with gamers either eager to test their luck or simply curious about the phenomenon.
As for McGregor, he’s already planning an expansion pack titled “McGregor’s Revenge,” promising even more realistic combat. “Next time, bring a spare headset,” he advises with a wink.
