CCP’s Valkyrie, Gunjack Released for PlayStation VR

CCP Games today announced that EVE: Valkyrie, the virtual reality (VR) multiplayer dogfighting shooter that Wired.com celebrated as “a soaring example of VR as the future of gaming,” and Gunjack, the visually stunning VR arcade shooter, have launched on PlayStation VR. Both games were created specifically for VR and build upon CCP’s leadership position in the VR revolution, as well as demonstrate the company’s commitment to creating immersive virtual worlds for players around the globe.

“We’re extremely excited to work with Sony to bring high-quality VR experiences to PlayStation 4 owners,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games. “Both EVE: Valkyrie and Gunjack deliver the VR fantasy, but in different ways. We can’t wait for console players to get their hands on them.”

EVE: Valkyrie was released for Oculus Rift in March, along with Gunjack, which is also available on the Gear VR and HTC Vive platforms.
