One of our favorite VR titles, SUPERHOT VR, won’t be getting that additional DLC we reported on in a previous version of this article announcing the supposed update. Despite this, if the game has been on your list, now might be a good time to snag it thanks to a 25% discount via Steam through November 1st.
Update (10/27/17): The SUPERHOT team recently brought it to our attention that the DLC they hinted at in the SUPERHOT VR Steam forum is not coming to the VR version of the game, but rather the original flat screen version. The misreporting comes down to a slip-up on the part of the community manager who manages forums for both SUPERHOT VR and the original SUPERHOT. The team has since edited the statement originally confirming DLC for the VR version to reflect this. The team assures us they haven’t abandoned the VR version, just that it isn’t getting DLC this time around.
We’ve updated the headline to make this clear. The original article continues below.
Original Article (10/26/17): In our review of the game, we praised Superhot VR’s “one-of-a-kind bullet-time mechanic that translates phenomenally well to VR.” At the time we were disappointed by the game’s short length despite its enjoyable gameplay. Since that time the creators have launched the ‘FOREVER’ update, which aims to stretch the game’s replayability with new modes, challenges, difficulty levels, and secrets.
Further updates to add additional content are in the works, the game’s developers teased recently via the game’s Steam forum. Responding to a player’s query about adding more stages to the game’s ‘Endless’ mode, the devs offered, “We are working on it ;) But it will be even better.” The scope of that work is unclear for now, but we’ll take all the Superhot VR we can get.
In addition to more content being in the works for the title, Superhot VR is on sale on Steam at a 25% discount through November 1st, as part of the platform’s Halloween sale. The SteamVR version of the game supports both Vive and Rift (the game is still priced regularly on the Oculus store).
