Then head down to the comments section and let us know whether or not PlayStation VR support will have any impact on whether or not you purchase Outlast 2. That said, Morin did at least leave the door open for post-launch support, telling PlayStation Lifestyle that “we’ll see” if Red Barrels climbs aboard the “VR bandwagon” after launch.įor an early look at Outlast 2, take a couple of minutes to check out the teaser trailer released earlier this year and/or download the free Outlast 2 demo on your preferred platform. Given the explanation, it seems safe to assume the launch build of Outlast 2 won’t include support for other VR headsets, like the Rift or Vive, either. With just 20 employees on the roster at Red Barrels, the studio would rather focus on making sure Outlast 2 doesn’t have any major issues at launch and worry about extra bells and whistles (like VR support) down the road. “If you want to make a really effective and enjoyable VR game, it has to be built from the ground up for it,” Morin told PlayStation LifeStyle.

But he also highlighted a current reality of VR development specifically, that the best virtual reality experiences (in 2016) come from studios and projects developed specifically for VR.

In an interview with PlayStation LifeStyle, Red Barrels studio boss Philippe Morin acknowledged the scares that would likely come from pairing Outlast 2 with VR tech. And there’s no guarantee we’ll ever see it (no pun intended). Unfortunately, what we learned this week is that we’ll have to wait until sometime after the Outlast 2 release date for any chance at a VR support. The game isn’t expected to debut until sometime next year but we’re already learning plenty about the upcoming Outlast sequel. Given all of the hype surrounding its predecessor, it’s probably safe to call Outlast 2 one of the most anticipated horror games in the history of the games industry. And it sounds like it’s safe to make the same assumption for Rift, Vive and any other headsets that might emerge between now and the Outlast 2 release date. The next entry in the Outlast franchise won’t include PlayStation VR support at launch, Red Barrels confirmed this week, but the studio isn’t ruling out the possibility of making Outlast 2 compatible with the head-mounted display at some point after launch.
