PlayStation’s legendary anti-grav arcade racer can now proudly display the ‘PSVR-compatible’ badge thanks to a free update pushed out today to WipEout: Omega Collection for PS4.
Update (03/28/18): Announced via a PlayStation blog post, Wipeout’s PSVR update is finally here. For owners of the game, simply update it, switch on your headset and your main menu will transform into a 3D world with ships zooming right past you.
Original Article (12/12/17): WipEout is the long running anti-grav racing franchise from Sony Studio Liverpool. With 10 games since 1995, the legendary franchise is known for its high speed, adrenaline pumping gameplay, and for its curated selection of cult electronica. And now its finally coming to PSVR.
Via a free update to PS4’s WipEout: Omega Collection (which includes WipEout HD {2008}, WipEout HD Fury {2009} and WipEout 2048 {2012}), PSVR owners will finally be able to step into the cockpit for a level of immersion that only VR can provide. The update is due in “early 2018.”
Sony XDev Senior Producer John McLaughlin notes on the official PlayStation Blog that players can “race in every track, across every game mode, off or online.” The game is also getting “full 3D audio,” presumably so you can hear opponents (and their incoming fire) all around you. PSVR players will also be treated to three exclusive ships with fully modeled interiors.
