Superhot Is Coming To VR, And You Should Be Excited
Superhot is finally out this week, giving classic first-person shooter gameplay a time-bending twist. The team behind the game is working on another way to play: virtual reality.
I had the chance to play Superhot in VR when it was demoed by Oculus at E3 2014. In short, it was the closest thing I’ve experienced to Neo’s bullet-bending move in The Matrix. It was also the demo that cemented my interest in virtual reality.
While the Superhot team isn’t being terribly chatty yet about when we’ll see the VR version, it’s great to know it’s coming.
“Also in the meantime we are constantly working on the XBox One version of SUPERHOT and doing secretive work on a bunch of grand VR plans,” the team wrote on Kickstarter. “We can't tell you too much but SUPERHOT in VR is going to be fun, oooh so much fun... :)”
Superhot is available now on PC.

Our Take
I’m thrilled that the demo I played over a year ago will be fully fleshed out. Playing Superhot in VR is a fantastic experience and one I’d recommend to anyone interested in the technology.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
