It was hard keeping up with all the announcements this week, but don’t worry – we’ve got your VR news roundup one post! Here’s your weekly VRecap.
News
We’ve announced this year’s replacement for the E3 VR Showcase – The Upload VR Showcase: Summer Edition on June 8th! Just like last year, we’ll be debuting new games, gameplay & VR announcements as the #1 VR Press Conference this Summer. Not only will we be airing on our YouTube, we’ll also be featuring on IGN’s Summer of Gaming! Plenty more news to come in the coming month.
Reports surfaced this week of Facebook’s plans for a lighter and overall better Oculus Quest, the main nugget of info being a higher refresh rate. This means the new Oculus Quest could show more solid and realistic objects and movements! We can’t wait for official announcements.
PSVR fans had a massive week in announcements, including: a patent showing potential face tracking for the next PSVR, Gorn and Pixel Ripped 1995 release dates, and the announcement of Vader Immortal coming to the platform! Budget Cuts, however, has been set back again for a couple more months.
