Sony has announced via their official Playstation Blog that Driveclub is headed for Playstation VR! The exclusive to Playstation title is scheduled for release some time in the 4th quarter of 2016. Playstation VR players will be able to enjoy the adapted version of the original title in VR, meaning the game is not just a direct port from the already released Driveclub.
Sony will include more than 80 cars in Driveclub VR and to compliment the original circuits in the title, the VR version will include several new circuits for players to race on. Additionally, there will also be some new game modes to mix it up for people that may have already been acquainted with the original title.
Judging by the screenshots we see here, several different countries have been featured in the title. To name a few, Norway, Japan and Scotland are clearly visible. Paul Rustchynsky, Game Director on Driveclub, confirmed on Twitter that the title will feature five new urban locations for players to experience in immersive VR!
It will be interesting to see just how Playstation VR stacks up when compared to the established PC VR headsets. Playstation will at least be the first console to support VR and what better way to do that than with some great racing titles being ready to go when the Playstation VR headset is launched!
