Arkane Studios celebrated its 20th-anniversary last week and here at Push Square, we were rather selfishly hoping to hear word on Deathloop or even another entry in the Dishonored and PREY franchises. That obviously never happened, but the latter may at least be getting some sort of re-release. In a now pulled advertisement, PREY VR had been listed by UK retailer ShopTo.
If the listing proves to be correct, what could PREY VR actually be? After its release, the base game received PlayStation VR support in the form of a new game mode titled Typhon Hunter as part of the Mooncrash expansion. However, the original experience was never updated to support the headset. A new bundle which brings all this content under one roof makes sense to us, but titling it PREY VR seems a little bit disingenuous if the only piece which actually supports PSVR is an optional activity.
As such, could Bethesda have put in the work to update the entire title to support Sony's virtual reality add-on? We won't know until the publisher makes an announcement, should this prove to be true, but it's an interesting question to ponder nonetheless. Would you replay PREY in VR? Don't become a mimic in the comments below.

100% this game was truly underated, it may be a bit strange in VR, considering how much traversal you do in space, but if done right, it could be amazing.
I really like the game. It definitely would give it a promo boost. I'd like to see more of it. A sequel or something.
If true this would be a great, quality addition to the VR library. This year looked pretty barren for VR games at the start but it's turning out to be way better than I expected. Great to see the continued support.
Psvr is getting some serious love lately.

This game seems to cross my mind regularly and I've been thinking about revisiting it so many times. My playthrough was kind of rushed and I feel like I didn't experience it fully. While Dishonored has a proper Thief feel to it, Prey was definitely System Shock 2.
Great game and VR would be the icing on the... Space cake?
Hopefully full-fat Prey in VR. And hopefully comes to SteamVR too. Aside from Cyberpilot Bethesda has actually been a pretty good VR publisher, here's hoping this is a good conversion.
Wasn't actually keen on this game at all, I preferred the original version on the 360... but, I'd definitely get this on VR, I think I'd enjoy the game more there.
Prey was my game of the year for 2017. It was that good. I still remember IGN originally scoring the game a 4/10. Lol.
@Chryssy75 dam straight it should be, VR is the future for gaming 😊
