Studio CEO Rand Miller confirmed as much to GamesBeat, stating that the developer was “going all-in on VR.” He noted that the install base of the PS4, which is now over 40 million, would “open our availability” and that he was impressed with how well the game’s visual fidelity held up on the console. Fortunately, Cyan hasn’t waited long to confirm another big piece of news: the game is also on its way to the HTC Vive and PlayStation 4 with PlayStation VR support in 2017. That’s largely thanks to a last-minute delay for VR support when the standard version launched a few months ago.Īs of last week, though, Obduction is finally available in VR and, according to reactions online and our own review, it was well worth the wait. Obduction is worth the wait in our books, so PSVR owners will just need to hold on for a while longer.It seems like it took forever for for Cyan’s anticipated spiritual successor to Myst and Riven, Obduction, to come to the Oculus Rift. Cyan didn’t give a release timeframe for that support but we’re hoping it’ll be before the end of the year. We’ve reached out to the studio to confirm that this is the reason for the delay.įear not, though, the VR support will be arriving as a free update at some point.

Porting games like Obduction that have already appeared on PC VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive means dealing with significantly less powerful hardware, and factors like visual fidelity usually suffer as a result. Our guess? Cyan is still trying to optimize the game for PSVR, which is something many developers struggle with. “But we were determined to build an amazing gaming experience that provided not just a satisfying experience for PS4 players, but something that felt like a full VR game instead of a small demo for PSVR players,” Miller said. Studio founder Rand Miller recently revealed as much on the PlayStation Blog, though he didn’t offer a specific reason as to why it wasn’t going to be ready in time. When Obduction hits the console on August 29th (just under three weeks from now), it won’t support PlayStation VR.

We already reported that Cyan’s popular adventure game, Obduction, would be launching on PS4 this month, but there’s been a slight stumble on the game’s VR support.
