Social Golf Sim GOLF+ Planned to Putt PS5's PSVR2

Smash social golf sim GOLF+ is planning a PSVR2 port. The title – already available on the Meta Quest 2, where it’s a mainstay at the top of the software charts – is an award-winning virtual reality golf game, with a huge community focus. In addition to hitting the links with life-like gameplay, you can also team up with friends and strangers in clubhouses, making this a distinctly social take on the popular sport.

GOLF+ has evolved a lot since it first launched, and now has full 18-hole courses available, in addition to practice ranges and even licensed gear. We contacted the developer to find out if it was considering bringing the sim to PlayStation 5’s virtual reality headset, and while it stopped short of sharing any specific information, a spokesperson told us that the company does “plan on porting to PSVR2”.

With the new PSVR2 Sense Controllers, it seems like Sony’s poised to bring a lot of developers back on board. Yesterday we reported that Eleven Table Tennis is also planning a PSVR2 release, while continued development on Hitman 3’s virtual reality mode bodes well for the headset as well. Hopefully the platform holder’s able to get plenty of development kits out in a timely manner, so that the launch lineup is a strong as it possibly can be.

If there was a vr version of links golf then i'd consider a vr headset...but untill then i'll just head out to the real golf course and play FR...(for real)..

I have it on the Quest2. It's allright. It feels less fun and more realistic - although it has modes that are fun for a short while. For some that's great, but it didn't really grab me.

It could have been done on PSVR1 mind you - it's not really a technical showcase - and the PS4 is more powerful than the Quest2.

I enjoyed everybody's golf VR (even though the caddies drive you nuts), and on the Quest2 - Walkabout Mini Golf.

I think we'll see a lot of indie developers jump on PSVR2 once it's out. And thats a good thing.

@Party_Cannon I'd agree there's no reason this couldn't be on the psvr but it's another great example of wireless adding a lot to vr... that cable was a proper pain in everybody's golf

@nicc83 I hope Sony announce Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge for PSVR2. That would be the greatest announcement in the history of video games. Haha.

Agreed. Everybody’s Golf on PS4 and on PSVR were both amazing. They need to make more for PSVR2.

I’ll admit I was a bit annoyed they changed the art direction on the PS4 version, but after a few hours I completely changed my mind. I ended up spending over 100 hours on it. Such a good gameplay loop.

Considering the controllers and tracking difficulties/limits with PSVR, Everybody’s Golf VR was really good. Just picturing the visuals and new controllers with PSVR2 makes me want it bad. Haha.
