F1 23 arrives on June 16 for PC VR or June 13 if you pre-order the Champions Edition. When asked if there are any plans to support PSVR 2, Quest 2 or other VR platforms, an EA representative told UploadVR that "F1 23 will only support VR on PC."

For all the folks who thinks F1 2023 is going to support the PSVR2 in last year thread: here you go.

To be fair 95% of the sim racing audience is on PC. They probably see no upside devoting significant resources to a product Sony doesn't even sell in stores and have effectively abandoned themselves with no future outlook to speak of. It's dead Jim.

You gonna post that list of 100 indie PCVR and Quest 2 ports from 2016 to prove me wrong?

Prove what part?

 

[Pelao]

Well, they saved me $70. I love Formula 1, but the games leave a lot to be desired. The only thing that would have convinced me to buy it would have been the ability to play it in VR.

My implication that Sony has sent this thing out to die, with no software roadmap, no demonstration of confidence, and no effort to secure software for it (as evidenced by the very topic we're posting in).

This is like the modern version of "Pre-order at Gamestop to receive the exclusive Sub-Zero character and the color blue!" - simply no reason to leave out features from a game on comparable systems other than to screw over your audience for some kind of extra buck.

95%? Why not 1209309123%?

You can look up the announced and release list just as well as I can. Outside of the RE4 mode (that's coming who knows when) and the Firewall remaster/remake, there's nothing of note or consequence to speak of besides a bunch of multi-year old indie ports and a few new 1 to 5 man indie projects which will be the first game most of them have ever released. Really looks like they're going all in and is sure to move a $600 peripheral /s.

Outside of this, pretty much every VR game being made will be released on it.

 

[Leonidas]

If only Sony released an official PSVR2 driver for PC...

 

[Haint]

That's the problem. If Sony's not willing to fund or pursue at least some AA fare, the platform won't see anything but uprezed indie Quest ports.

 

[hlm666]

I bet there will be more than a few of the games meta show for quest 3 that wont end up on pcvr or psvr2, they already have had a few that never went anywhere else like robo recall, lone echo 1&2, resident evil 4, asgards wrath and the vader immortal games and there's probably a few more I'm unaware of.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

If Sony is going to run uncontested, they need to be better stewards. I want this and the Star Wars Squadrons from EA, and Sony must get it done.

 

[DR3AM]

RIP PSVR2

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Well played.

 

[HTK]

Any actual news on how they will prevent cheaters? Because if they game is riddled with cheaters online it’s dead weight. With or without VR.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Shame, they would have got a buy from me.

Oh well.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

I mean that sucks. Sure most hardcore sim racers on pc and have some kinda vr. But I don’t see how that be hard to implement it on psvr.

 

[Sleepwalker]

The VR mode in the current game sucks ass and performs like shit so I have no hope for codemasters to do anything good with PSVR2 anyway.

Sucks anyway, will be skipping it on both PC and PS, its the same game every year anyway.

 

[Crayon]

Not touching a sim racer without vr if I can help it.

 

[Markio128]

No buy from me then. Seriously disappointing.

It costs money to add PSVR support and they don’t think they’ll make that money back. The reason isn’t arbitrary.

 

[DenchDeckard]

PC be like....

...have some of your own medicine, playstation...

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

They need to fix the tire model first and foremost. The lack of traction coming out of slow corners was absolutely pathetic and unrealistic last year.

VR was weirdly implemented too, hopefully they fix it this year, but i'll wait to see on that one before buying.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

If it would’ve supported PSVR2 I probably would’ve bought one.

Too bad.

 

[crackajack]

Meta and Sony not working together to improve both their VR offerings is already bad enough, but if third parties already see neither as desirable plattforms it gets really weird. I would have thought with GT as spearhead of all racing games, practically all racing games, so much stuff that is coming from EA/codemasters is 100% on every VR device. But not even that... wtf.

 

[Dick Jones]

Gran Turismo will continue to be my driving game going forward.

 

[nemiroff]

I heard from Sony fans that this type of exclusivity is good, so I'm gonna trust them on this one. Looking forward to play F1 23 on my non-bulky sleek pancake VR glasses soon.

 

[Bojanglez]

Shame. I would have happily paid £70 for it if it had PSVR support. Won't even bother getting it now. Good news that it is supporting VR in some respect though, it means PSVR2 support is actually more realistic in the future.

 

[FunkMiller]

What a dumb move. I’m not paying £70 for a driving game that doesn’t feature VR, after playing GT7.

 

[Dick Jones]

Not touching a sim racer without vr if I can help it.

I can't see myself going back to non VR driving. Fuck that.

 

[Lasha]

I'm happy that VR is being supported. Sucks for the console fans who spent so much on the headset only to get snubbed. Its a dick move all around.

I’ve played F1 2022 on PC VR, as well as Assetto Corsa and iRacing. All on a 3070 at max settings.

None of them are as good as GT7 on PSVR2. For multiple reasons. This is a really stupid decision by EA.

 

[Djin1980]

No VR, no buy EA

Sorry for cutting up your post, but I'm just illustrating that your point is confusing. If it's just a promotion for GT7 that's fine, but to me that's irrelevant to the discussion.

And in case you missed it my post was tongue-in-cheek with a drop of acidity..

Anyway, any legit PC gamer would be aware that Automobilista 2 is the best VR racing experience on any platform out there

 

[Raonak]

No reason to buy I guess.

Do we excuse exclusive now when the games are on pc. By your logic: the sony pc ports are doing like 10% of what the playstation version did while also giving money to epic, valve etc. Should sony stop all pc ports now?

 

[Rudius]

No buy.

 

[TrebleShot]

Pathetic

His point wasn't confusing at all. Wat!

 

[JackSparr0w]

Yeah but calling F1 games sim-racing is a stretch. Games like F1, Gran turismo are sim-cades.

Oh sure, there are more hardcore sim racers on PCVR than GT7 is, but in terms of a seamless, easy set up, with a high degree of visual fidelity, I’ve found GT7 to be head and shoulder above the sometimes very finicky bullshit you’ve got to go through to get PCVR racing sims working at their maximum potential. It’s crazy of EA not to make a PSVR2 port of this game.
