DriveClub VR Announced As Japan Launch Title For Playstation VR

Here come those PlayStation VR games! Driveclub VR, which was earlier showcased by Sony as a a demonstration of what’s possible on their fledgling VR platform, is now officially a launch title for PlayStation VR. A catch: It’s only confirmed as launching in Japan (thanks, Videogamer.) Interestingly, the Japanese Playstation Blog post which outed the information appears to have been taken down, replaced with handy 404 screen. The plot thickens.

So, what exactly does this mean? Well, there still is the possibility that it was a communications screw-up. We reported that Driveclub VR’s future was left uncertain after developer Evolution Studios was shuttered. However, Driveclub’s former game director Paul Rustchynsky chimed in opportunely on Twitter, talking about the “new tracks” in the game. But going by the er hastags, he Rustchynsky does seem to strongly imply that Driveclub VR is still a thing.

Playstation VR (and presumably Driveclub VR) are launching on October 13th. What’s your take?

The new tracks are awesome by the way, some of my favourites in the game 😉 #DRIVECLUBVR #PSVR pic.twitter.com/C0VN1LPceb
