If so, then when can we expect it to launch? Consider reading this article until the end to find out!
VR technology has certainly grown exponentially in recent years, and developers are trying to incorporate it into their games. Codemasters aren’t really an exception. Both F1 23 and F1 22 have VR support for PC; however, with the release of PSVR 2 in February 2023, it has become a mainstream VR headset for console gamers, and now players want to enjoy F1 23 on it as well. So, will Codemasters consider releasing an F1 23 PSVR 2 edition for the fans? Let’s find out!
F1 2023 (F1 23) PSVR 2 Release Date
The growth of VR is a key development in the gaming industry. VR games are offering fans more immersive and realistic gameplay, and this has gained immense popularity. The launch of PSVR 2 has been a giant step towards building the popularity of VR games. Currently, there are different games available on the VR set, such as Resident Evil: Village and Gran Turismo 7. Fans of the F1 games series have also been vocal about their wish to have a PSVR 2 edition for F1 23. However, from the side of the developers, there hasn’t been any indication that they’re planning to launch a PSVR 2 edition for F1 23. But why is it this way?
Looking back to the VR edition of F1 22 and even F1 23, the performance of the game on PC isn’t really up to par. The gaming experience has been quite choppy and even full of crashes. Due to this, the PC VR editions haven’t really been a financial success, neither for F1 22 nor for F1 23. It’s only natural that the developers figure out how to make the game function better on VR before they even consider a PSVR 2 edition. However, things go beyond this factor. During the release of F1 22, Codemasters clearly announced that they didn’t actually have any plans to release VR editions of the game on consoles. We must note that by this time, F1 23 was already under development. That being said, the development team did mention publicly that F1 23 will not receive a PSVR 2 port.
Despite this, however, the fans haven’t really given up hope for an F1 23 PSVR 2 edition. Especially with another racing game, Gran Turismo 7, killing it on Sony’s latest VR headset, expectations for F1 23 are on the rise. While the official announcement discarded any possibility of F1 23’s PSVR 2 version, we can never really say never. With the rising demand for a PSVR 2 edition, Codemasters might even start considering this seriously. However, this is simply speculation, so we urge you to take the news with a pinch of salt. If we get more information on this matter, we will update this article as soon as possible. Well, as of now, this is all we have on the release date of F1 23 on PSVR 2.
