C-Smash VRS is set to launch on PlayStation 5 with hybrid play on September 26, 2024. The game, originally released for PSVR 2 in March 2023, will now include a hybrid version that can be played both in VR and on a flat screen. This update is free for existing PSVR 2 owners of the game.
C-Smash VRS, a modern take on SEGA’s classic, combines low-gravity racket sports with block-breaking challenges. The game is known for its unique mix of physical activity and immersive virtual reality experience, making it a popular choice among VR enthusiasts.
The new update, called “C-Smash VRS: New Dimension,” introduces several new features. It includes a third-person perspective, new game modes such as Head-to-Head, Firewall, Quickshot, and Training, as well as an AI BOT for solo play. The game’s developer, Wolf & Wood, aims to enhance the player’s sense of presence by focusing on how the game feels through the controller’s analog sticks.
In addition to the third-person view, the update will offer co-op modes and a new Infinity mode. The co-op mode allows two players to play side by side, working together to smash blocks and keep the ball in play. Infinity mode is a fast-paced challenge where players must continuously smash or dodge blocks while keeping the ball in play.
