It’s a real turn-up for the books forPSVR 2owners, asAmong Us VRhas finally released on thePlayStation 5headset.
As confirmed via the officialAmong Us VRTwitter account, the initial rollout period began in the US, with other regions and downloadable content being added over the course of the following day. It’s now available to buy for $9.99 / £7.99 on the PlayStation Store; the same as it costs on Meta Quest andSteamVR devices.
The developerhas also confirmedvia the PlayStation Store page that crossplay is featured in thePSVR2 version. I’ll avoid making jokes about there not being enough PSVR 2 owners to fill anAmong Us VRlobby, but it is welcome news that players on Sony’s headset will be able to party with friends onMeta Quest 2,Meta Quest 3, and Steam VR devices like theValve Index.
If you’re unfamiliar withAmong Us VR,the game successfully translates the survivors-versus-impostors loop of the multiplayer phenomenon’s intense scrap for survival. In the VR version, you’ll still be completing tasks, holding emergency meetings, and aiming to figure out who the impostors are all while avoiding their attempts to bump you off. The difference is you’re doing it all in a first-person virtual environment, so you’ll need to be acutely aware of your surroundings relative to the original version.
Among Us VRis certainly a welcome addition to the PSVR 2’s library of games, especially during a relatively slow first year in terms of both releases and overall sales. Between this,Arizona Sunshine 2,and some other notable launches, it’s looking like PSVR 2’s software drought could finally be coming to an end.
