Welcome to the newest installment of the XR News Round-Up, where we bring you speedy updates on some significant stories that slipped under our radar earlier.
As November winds down, the gaming scene is buzzing with major releases. We’ve seen the launch of titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, The Thrill Of The Fight 2 in early access, By Grit Alone, and Wall Town Wonders, promising a little something for everyone’s taste. While the news on hardware fronts has been a bit muted, we’ve caught wind of updates about Valve Deckard’s controllers. Meanwhile, the buzz of Black Friday deals is in the air with discounts cropping up for Pico 4 Ultra and PlayStation VR2.
Keep an eye on our weekly newsletter and latest articles for more updates. But for now, let’s dive into some of the standout stories from this past week.
Ghosts of Tabor Faces Delay on PlayStation VR2
Combat Waffle Studios has announced that the launch of Ghosts of Tabor on PlayStation VR2 will be pushed to 2025, a shift from its initial 2024 target. The studio has cited the unexpectedly complex nature of porting to Sony’s VR headset as the reason and assured fans that extra resources are being dedicated to its completion.
Last Call for Arizona Sunshine Remake Discount
Fans of the classic Arizona Sunshine have until the end of November to grab a special offer. When Vertigo Games unveiled the Arizona Sunshine Remake, they sweetened the deal by allowing owners of the original game from 2016 to purchase a "Remake Upgrade" at the discounted price of $9.99. Don’t wait too long, though; this Quest discount ends on November 30.
