#Phasmophobia vr update#

Phasmophobia is seemingly an intensive title, especially since online co-op is involved, so you might want to temper your expectations as the Quest might not be able to handle the title even with drastic downgrade. As an additional note, the game is already on Viveport in addition to Steam.Īnd the most exciting VR feature here is a potential port to the Oculus Quest. However, this step also require Oculus’ approval so even if the developer wants to, that doesn’t necessary mean this is sure to happen. VR games that uses Oculus SDK often means lesser technical issues, and better general performance for the Oculus users on PC.Īnother thing that is in the backlog is publishing the game onto the Oculus Store. This is in contrast to the OpenVR SDK, which focuses on letting developers release their VR applications on many VR headsets as possible but not exclusively optimize for any headset. The Oculus SDK allow developers to fully optimize their VR applications exclusively for Oculus headsets. For a game that gain its popularity thanks to streamers, it is interesting to see the developer will capitalize on that to also allow VR players to stream the game in mixed reality.īesides integration of LIV SDK, Kinetic Games is also planning to integrate the Oculus SDK and publish the game on the Oculus Store too. Integration of the LIV SDK allow players to produce mixed reality content, where they can blend themselves with the game environment into a single video. The developer is also looking into integration of the LIV SDK.

These trackers are attached to moving parts to offer more tracking points, and developers has mostly used it for arm/leg/full body tracking in application like VRChat.

If you take a look at the road map on Trello, one of the things in the backlog, is support for leg tracking via the underutilized HTC Vive Trackers. You can choose to support your team by monitoring the location with CCTV cameras and motion sensors from the safety of the truck or head inside and get your hands dirty with the ghostly activity that will get increasingly hostile as time goes on. You will use your ghost hunting equipment to search for and record evidence of whatever ghost is haunting the location to sell onto a ghost removal team. Phasmophobia is a 4 player online co-op psychological horror where you and your team members of paranormal investigators will enter haunted locations filled with paranormal activity and gather as much evidence of the paranormal as you can. The road map on Trello reveal some internal ideas that are either currently being worked on, or in the backlog, which include some interesting VR features that are not publicly announced. And, of course, we’ll keep our fingers crossed for a possible PSVR 2 version too.PC/VR horror multiplayer game Phasmophobia has been seeing popularity surge in recent time, and Kinetic Games has recently published a road map for this early access game, based on players feedback. We can’t help but wonder if improved VR support might also mean that we get a Quest version of the game sometime in the future.
