Sony announced today that DriveClub VR is joining the PlayStation VR launch lineup and will be available on October 13 in North America and Europe, priced at $39.99 USD/€39.99. A retail version was previously confirmed for Europe, but it remains to be seen if there will be one in North America as well.
As former DriveClub Game Director Paul Rustchynsky said on Twitter, owners of the DriveClub Season Pass will receive a discount on DriveClub VR. Additionally, the new tracks in DriveClub VR will be added to DriveClub in a future update.
According to the description for DriveClub VR, you’ll find 114 tracks in the game:
Get behind the wheel as DRIVECLUB revs its engines for a follow-up season of edge-of-your-seat racing.
Combining the stunning graphical power and interconnectivity of PlayStation 4 with the unparalleled immersion of PlayStation VR, DRIVECLUB VR transports you to some of world’s most stunning locales in some of the world’s most powerful production cars.
Experience Canada’s Fraser Valley or Japan’s serene Lake Shoji like never before, with a brand new suite of features including a “cruise control” mode that will let you take in the sights at your leisure and “Virtual Passenger” that will let you relive your best laps from the passenger seat.
A new selection of urban tracks swells the total number to a staggering 114. Strap into one of 80 iconic high-performance cars to screech through corners, blaze along straights and fight the finish line as though you could reach out and touch it.
If you want to try DriveClub VR before buying it, the racer will be included on the PlayStation VR Demo Disc in both North America and Europe.
