Likewise, when experienced with PSVR, the sense of speed, coupled with the rough and tumble inertia that is intrinsic to racing’s most arguably rugged sport is palpably amplified. By transplanting the already stellar handling model into VR space, Dirt Rally VR actually becomes eminently more enjoyable as a result the ability to leverage depth perception in a way that just isn’t available without VR, adds an extra dimension to Dirt Rally that could actually serve to bring more to its cause who may have found the base game too difficult to handle. All the tracks, all the modes, all the cars everything has been given the VR treatment.īecause of the wide-ranging ambitions of this latest expansion offering, the question then becomes should you elect to play Dirt Rally in its PSVR form over its regular non-VR, and the answer is, unequivocally, a resounding yes.

Codemasters is also prepping a new boxed version of the game, which includes the updated content on the disc.Previously released for Oculus Rift headsets on PC during the middle of last year, Dirt Rally VR was a huge hit with that crowd and happily I can report that some eight months later, its allure hasn’t been dulled any in the leap to PSVR. If you’re relying on your buddy for those instructions, you better find a friend who you can trust not to mess with you and purposefully send you off the mountainside.Ĭodemasters didn’t reveal the exact release date for Dirt Rally PSVR, but the company said that the update should land “in the coming weeks.” The PSVR update comes in the form of a paid DLC update for digital copies from the PlayStation Store. When playing solo, you may have a hard time interpreting, but at least you know that the instructions coming in are on time and accurate. The timing of the instructions is crucial, and receiving correct instructions is also of the utmost importance. Putting the instructions in the hands of another player sounds like complete chaos, but it would sure make for a fun group experience.

During my time with Dirt Rally on the Oculus Rift, I found the navigation instructions were difficult to follow, but it's also critical to understand them correctly.
