Embrace Your Awful Social Life with SportsBarVR on PS4

For the loners

by Sammy Barker Thu 29th Sep 2016

Got no friends to go to a real sports bar with? PlayStation VR's got your back, as the makers of Pool Nation have announced SportsBarVR – a new multiplayer social experience that will allow you to chug drinks and play pool in virtual reality with up to six other people. It's clearly very cool technology, but it's all a bit tragic when you stop and think about it, eh?

The game will include various minigames for you to interact with, including pool, air hockey, darts, skeeball, chess, and more. The studio suggests that there'll be more official content to come, though you can invent your own activities, like swinging at bottles with pool cues and fighting with chairs… Y'know, just generally making a nuisance of yourself.

This one's set to release on 13th October, meaning that it's another launch title to add to your list. We're honestly beginning to lose count of 'em now.

This can be fun but its definitely better for real. But imagine........live broadcast of sport, concert, etc.... Be able to sit on stadium, be in formula or on concert in first row.....I hope for that

I was looking forward to Hustle Kings VR... I wonder if this will decimate the fanbase.

@BowTiesAreCool This certainly looks more interesting tbh.

VR "gloves" would be cool, to where you could actually reach out and pick up the chess piece to move it on the board. I haven't had the chance to try VR yet but I am guessing playing chess in VR would still require some sort of maneuver where you hover over the piece with the controller, press a button to pick it up, and so on.
I guess a move controller could decently simulate a cue stick or a dart, but it might be clunky on chess. Still sounds like a cool little game.
