Room VR: A Dark Matter unlocks a PSVR2 port, a free upgrade for PSVR players

Here’s another win for PSVR2 users: the popular first-person puzzler, The Room VR: A Dark Matter, is being ported to Sony’s new headset. It launched back in 2020 for the last-gen visor, but Fireproof Games is bringing it to the more modern PSVR2 very soon.

You can get a taste of it in the new trailer above. In case you’re unfamiliar, it’s a first-person escape room puzzle game, and the first virtual reality entry in the series. You explore each room you find yourself in, and they are filled with clues and riddles that help you solve a huge mystery. As with its flat-screen predecessors, The Room VR received strong reviews, praising its immersive presentation and complex puzzles.

Unfortunately we don’t have any details on what exactly is being changed or upgraded for the PSVR2 version, but we assume it’s the usual — enhanced resolution and performance, PSVR2 Sense controller implementation, and more. We will try to get confirmation from the developer. Regardless, it’s also a free upgrade if you already own the original PSVR version.

The PSVR2 edition of The Room VR: A Dark Matter launches on July 27, 2023, in just one week’s time. Will you be checking it out? Use your noggin in the comments section below.
