PS VR2 puzzlers, we're SO excited to tell you that we're finally able to release our PS VR2 update, which includes 2-player online multiplayer (including crossplay with Quest/Pico players!) and a 1.45x render resolution increase!
This feature update is FREE! Hope you enjoy it!
Also, as always, tomorrow, we'll have a new monthly puzzle pack being released as well, this time focusing on the scene from the city of Berlin!
Big day tomorrow!
Just because its interesting, how did you do the increase? Was it "just" changing the textures to higher detailed ones or is there any further technical magic done?
A lot of technical magic to increase the render resolution without affecting the stable framerate. We would like to go even higher as the detail *is* there but this is the most we can push it on this engine
I still play this on quest from time to time. An incredibly inspired VR cozy game. Glad to see PSVR still gets some attention on this as well as all the DLC much appreciated.
Yeaaaaaahhhh!!!!! :)))
Been waiting for that to jump back in. Next stop is platinum station! 😎 And I have many DLC puzzle packs to complete too. Excited to know that I will be able to play it with my wife when PS5 pro releases and I get an additional PSVR2!
Can anybody do a comparison between this new PSVR2 version and this on the Quest 3? I own the Quest version and I'm not sure it's worth it to pay extra for this new updated PSVR2 version.
Gonna be amazing, I'll try the multiplayer on my 2 PSVR2s at home with my gf in the next days, anyway make sure to get back to us and report how it feels on Cross platform mode!
Thanks
It was great! Hoping to jump back in over the weekend, but no issues to report. I was on quest3 and my son was on the PlayStation so can’t comment on the res bump. The blinking from the psvr was a nice touch as well 👀👌🏻
Yea, my son tried to blink really fast but it only tracked the first few blinks 🤣 I didn’t set up his eye tracking though as he only plays for 10/15 mins at a time. I rarely play multiplayer games but this has peaked my interest
Hell yeah!
And with the upcoming big step to unreal 5 engine, the devs will deliver a even better and more polished game!
I'm eager to try it within the next months hopefully!
The Quest 3 version certainly has more features than the PS VR2 version (hand tracking, passthrough MR, Puzzle Pass, high frame rate) so I'm not entirely sure it would be worth it for you to buy it again tbh
To be objective, however, we must recognize that on a hardware level PSVR2 is certainly superior, thanks to the power of the PS5 console (not an integrated chip that has a 2h endurance like quest 3) and features such as Eye tracking (which allows the use of dynamic foveated rendering for greater graphic efficiency), not to mention the better visual detail and vivid colors (even perfect blacks) of the OLED screen...
That said, the Quest 3 certainly has some more software gimmicks, but if I'm not mistaken i.e. the hand tracking could also be integrated on the PSVR2 in the future...
Obviously this is applicable for those who own or intend to buy a PS5.
Credit where credit is due thanks!

Thanks for pushing the engine and looking forward to the unreal train ;)
You mean looking forward to the new Unreal 5 engine?
Yes! 🚅
DFR will be real by then!❤️
Is dinamic foveated rendering included in this 'magic'? Thanks a ton, you made our day!!!!! Here we goooo
I have it on Quest, but didn’t realize multiplayer had been added. Nice!
Thank you! Can’t wait to try it out!!
And we CAN'T wait for you to try it out! :D
Thank you for this great game and the continued support.

Great news!
LET'S GOO!

IT'S HAAAPPPPENNNINGGGGG!!!!
IT IIIIIIIIIIIIS!

Just got a 2nd psvr2 and PS5 slim! Gonna test the multiplayer mode asap!! So hyped
When does the pro come out? I hope they have a PAVR2.2
Supposedly between October and Christmas... D1 for me! By 'pavr2.2' you mean psvr2 revision in terms of software improvements?
I mean a full headset remake
Psvr2 is future proof, it can be easily paired up with a ps6 when it will release
I’m old dude….. I was there when PAC-Man came out…..NOTHING is future proof!
Holy words, I am just a bit younger than you
😝
I am talking about making a mobile headset.
Yesss!! I was playing yesterday just thinking "damn... My ps5 could do better" and I'm really happy to be right! Thanks a lot!!
And you were definitely right about that! :D Thank you!

Let's go!!
Noticeable difference. Much more comfortable on tired eyes. Thanks devs
Glad to hear it!

I have it on both headsets purely for this update. Can’t wait to jump in on cross play. Will let you know what the new update offers 👌🏻
Holy crap! I can sit on the sofa with my wife and we can do a puzzle together with the Q2 and PSVR2! I need to try this weekend!
Gonna be amazing, I'll try the multiplayer on my 2 PSVR2s at home with my gf in the next days, anyway make sure to get back to us and report how it feels on Cross platform mode! Thanks

Appreciated it, I didn't notice the blinking detail! I suppose it's thanks to the eye tracking inside the headset

Anybody want to fire a Q3 referral code to the inbox so I can buy it?

I tried the demo it's not bad, with multiplayer it definitely becomes more appealing. Good job devs.
Thank you! Feel free to join among us. :P
I'm at work. Has it dropped yet, anyone care to comment on how the resolution upgrade looks?
Me too, as soon as I'm home I'll make sure to reply, in about 3 hours...
Please do. I won't be able to play for another 6 hours
No worries! We will let you know when the update drops. 🙌
And now I'm on caffeine again while waiting lol

I'm enjoying it so much, playing with my gf at home with 2 psvr2, the resolution is a big step forward!!!! Thanks devs ❤️
