As far as peripheral-assisted sports simulation games go, VR Ping Pong is nothing new… and its certainly no SEGA Bass Fishing for the Dreamcast (it came with its own proprietary fishing rod accessory), but then just what is? Having started life as a little Steam Early Access project, is VR Ping Pong now ready for the big leagues of PSVR?īy definition, Steam Early Access means users “should expect missing content, bugs, incomplete content and potentially game-breaking problems”, but having been released in July 2016, you’d expect most of these issues to have come out in the wash by now. And largely, they have. Unfortunately the few problems that remain do cause real issues, but we’ll get to those later.
