It’s been just over a month since PSVR launched and RIGS was released alongside it. Guerrilla Cambridge’s game was an ambitious attempt to create a fairly traditional feeling first person shooter for VR, and they did a fantastic job of it.
December will see the Winter Season Update, adding new content into the mix. First up is the APX Rig, which is lighter and faster than other Rigs in the game, but comes with a lower armour rating, so it’s only advised for the best players out there. Alongside this is the first map set in Europe, with the Zurich arena set to make its first public appearance at PlayStation Experience on December 4th.
Beyond that, a new series of Weekly Trials is coming to the game, giving you more opportunities to earn in-game credits, fame and customisation items, and there’s new items and victory poses to unlock as well.
While it doesn’t feature any of the new content, there’s a trailer that featuring some quotes and accolades from the game’s numerous reviews:

I like the idea of this game, but it was the only one of the PSVR demos I tried that gave me motion sickness.. Shame really, what I played of it was pretty good.

There are tons and tons of customisation options for comfort. It’s pretty comprehensive and you should hopefully be able to find something that works for you…
But I don’t believe the demo does a very good job of running you through the options and it’s still a fast paced FPS which is tricky in VR at the very best of times.

I’m having fun with this so it’s nice to see it being supported with updates.
Hopefully updates like this will keep people playing online as one of the biggest problems with VR is there are so few people that finding a game online isn’t always easy.
