    Aces of Thunder takes off on PC and PlayStation

    Today is the day! After years of anticipation and several delays, Aces of Thunder has officially launched on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5 (PS VR2) today, February 3, 2026.

    Developed by Gaijin Entertainment—the minds behind War Thunder—this title is built from the ground up to be the definitive VR flight combat simulator. Here is what you need to know about the launch:

    What to Expect at Launch

    Legendary Aircraft: Access 20+ iconic planes from WWII (like the P-51 Mustang and Spitfire) and WWI (including the Fokker Dr. I) immediately upon purchase.

    Total Immersion: The game is designed primarily for VR, featuring highly detailed interactive cockpits where you can physically flip switches and pull levers.

    Global Theatres: Battle across 15 maps covering the Eastern, Western, and Pacific fronts.

    No Grind: Unlike its predecessor, every aircraft is functionally complete from the start—no “spading” or engine upgrades required.

    Note: While the game was built for VR, a “flat screen” update is rolling out to ensure pilots without headsets can still join the dogfight.

  • Virtual Hunter launching on PlayStation and Meta in March

    Virtual Hunter launching on PlayStation and Meta in March

    If you’re looking for a VR experience that prioritises patience over twitch reflexes, Virtual Hunter is the definitive choice for the modern digital woodsman. Developed by the Finnish studio Korpi Games, it has officially transitioned from a PC VR favourite to a multi-platform powerhouse.

    The Ultimate VR Stalking Sim

    Unlike arcade-style shooters, Virtual Hunter is a slow-burning simulation. It places you in a massive, $64\text{ km}^2$ open world where animal behaviour is driven by sight, sound, and even scent.

    Key Features:

    • Hyper-Realistic Ballistics: Master complex weapon handling with rifles, shotguns, and bows. Gravity and wind aren’t just suggestions; they are your biggest obstacles.
    • The Hunt Together: While solo play is incredibly zen, the game supports up to 6-player co-op. You can strategise a drive with friends or just hike through the wilderness together.
    • World-Class Trophy Lodge: The “free-placement” system is widely considered the best in the genre. You don’t just click a menu; you physically place your mounts and poses throughout your lodge to tell your own hunting stories.
    • Deep Immersion: A full day-night cycle and dynamic weather system mean a hunt at dawn feels—and plays—completely differently than one at dusk.

    Availability & Launch News

    After a successful full release on Steam in early 2025, the game is expanding its reach.

    Mark your calendars: Virtual Hunter is officially launching on PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest on March 25, 2026.

    The console version promises to utilise the PS VR2’s haptics for even more tactile feedback when pulling a trigger or tracking through a brush.
