The Twilight Zone VR is being developed by Pocket Money Games, which previously brought Superhot to VR and quickly became one of the best Quest 2 games. A PlayStation VR version had been previously announced, but will not be launching alongside the Meta Quest 2 version on July 14. The publisher said on Twitter in a reply to the announced release date that the PlayStation VR version is still planned and in the works.
The Meta Quest 2 offers increased power, resolution, and flexibility over the original virtual headset. It is a complete, all-in-one headset that does not need to be tethered to a PC or smartphone in order to work.
