If you can't get enough of Marvel in video game form as you await the launch of Marvel's Avengers, why not check out the PlayStation VR experience released earlier this year focused entirely on Iron Man? Marvel's Iron Man VR quietly became a great game and it's about to get even better as patch 1.06 adds a wealth of new content for free. From a new game+ option and extra weapons through to decreased load times, this update has the lot.
The headline addition is new game+, which allows you to start the campaign over again without ditching the research points and Impulse Armour unlocks already accrued. And then there's a new difficulty mode on top of that, titled "Ultimate" -- it's the toughest test in the game yet.
Don't worry though, you'll have new weapons to make use of in your quest for superhero glory. The Continuous Beam Repulsor will sustain a powerful beam for a number of seconds, the EM Charge Cannon packs a charged shot, and the Micro Swarm fires a melee of rockets at unsuspecting enemies. Finally, the Gravity Bomb pulls nearby foes into a single location so that you can deliver a powerful blast to all of them at once. You can see all of them in action over on the PlayStation Blog.
More challenges and eight other Custom Armour Decos have also been added to the game alongside some quality of life improvements which are sure to boost your enjoyment. Load times were one of Marvel's Iron Man VR's biggest issues at launch, and developer Camouflaj has listened to feedback and decreased them across the board. This includes "20-30 second decreased times when loading into Shanghai missions. A big shoutout to our engineering team for their continued efforts on this front."
You will also be able to skip upcoming cutscenes as well as two story missions if you so choose. "The development team at Camouflaj gobbled up your reviews, tweets, and videos; listening intently to what you had to say, and what you wanted more of. I hope this content update continues to make good on our initial promise: to make you feel more than ever like you are Iron Man."

How is this game for the people that have it? The demo was okay but I wasn't too sure.
Got bored of this incredibly quick, the demo was great. But unfortunately probably one of the best parts of the game.
It is a fine game, in my opinion, the load times were the big problem, so I am happy to hear they fix that. Some overused environments and drone ennemies aside, I found it enjoyable. I have yet to finish it and now seems the right time.
Load times were the worst aspect of this game. My opinion everything else was good.
@zimbogamer I loved it. Got the platinum and still wanted to play more. Graphically, in places, it’s pretty bare, but as you are in VR, you sort of forget it.
As others have said, the worst part was the loading times.
Yeah have to agree load times were so bad , if this has been sorted I may go back . The levels were dull and it just felt kinda empty . Shanghai is a great example of feeling like you were in a ps2 game with modern vr ideas . Such a shame I was so hyped for this . I’ll finish it for sure especially now but compared to other PSVR games like nms or the real must own blood and truth it felt half baked sadly
Great game! If you want to feel like your Iron man get it... I’ll definitely do a new game+ play through. Was happy with the game already so this is great news!
