Dreams is great on PlayStation 4 as it is, but it's a game that's bound to grow and change over time. One major feature in the pipeline for Media Molecule's create-'em-up is support for PlayStation VR. Originally planned for launch, PSVR support is currently in development and seems to be coming fairly soon.
Announced today, the developer is now searching for European Dreams fans to take part in a closed beta test for the PSVR expansion.
Things are a little different with this beta test, however. It requires far more input from those who are selected; when you follow the link to the applications page, you'll see exactly what Media Molecule expects of participants. After an introductory video call, you'll be given access to the PSVR support for two weeks in June, "during which time you would be required to provide short reports every 1-2 days on your experience of playing the game". Once the test is over, you'll speak with the developer again, this time an interview all about your time playing the PSVR version of Dreams.
It's more like actual work, then. However, the payoff, literally, is £200, paid to you via bank transfer or PayPal, depending on your location. Again, this is only open to those in Europe. Oh, and you'll obviously have to sign an NDA.
So, it's pretty serious stuff, but if you've been waiting for Dreams to step into virtual reality and don't mind putting in a bit of work, this seems like a great scheme. Will you be applying for the PSVR closed beta? Pop on your headsets in the comments section below.

I love the concept of dreams, and I love what people have done in the engine, but I am not talented enough to make anything of use. At all. And I tried using the Move controllers...MM can consider my $40 a contribution for their wonderful creation that I suck at.
Europeans only? Well...that's rude.
@InsertUsername makes sense seeing as they're a uk developer, and America gets things we don't gaming related. I'm (urine)ssed I can't play Phantasy Star Online 2 on Xbox here in the uk. Still got the GameCube game but that was before I had internet and my own place.
@lacerz hah! that's how I feel too. I threw the money at them at first and now I haven't gone back in after trying to make a simple model of something. I want to make music in there, but I can't just get around the controls.
@JON22 It's not a matter of who gets what. Lol. It should be the same for everyone regardless. I'm just not a supporter of that practice. I feel everyone should get a chance. Even certain pre-order editions for games somewhat annoy me when they're different in every region.
£200 for playing Dreams?
Sign me up!!!
@InsertUsername This is different though. They are purposefully asking for quality assurace with a monetary incentive.
By going into just one area it's easier to administrate the scheme.
@themcnoisy I'd say it's always best to get everyone in each region rather than just their home base, but I digress.
@InsertUsername it's simply a case of time zones making it easier to work with (because this is work not a normal beta test) local people. Stop being so entitled.
@piggyhero Because I feel that everyone regardless of region should be able to help test the game? Sorry, but that's not entitlement. Where I'm from, that's equal opportunity. I also never went out and demanded it, so don't put words in my mouth. Don't take opinions so personal. It's quite counter-productive. Bye now.
No thanks. Not good for your eyes.
