'The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR' No Longer A PSVR 2 Launch Title, Delayed Until March

by Rainier on Jan. 23, 2023 @ 5:01 p.m. PST

Immerse yourself in this fast-paced rollercoaster action-horror-shooter where every move you make, and everything you see, could mean the difference between life and death.

It’s your own personal nightmare where each track has multiple terrifying paths. No two runs will be the same, but each will test your reactions in this multi-sensory VR horror experience.

A horror experience unlike any other, Switchback VR will take players for a multi-sensory ride through ghost-ships, witch-hunts, vampire nests and the lair of a sadistic killer on a fast paced, sinister rollercoaster from hell.

"Switchback VR is Supermassive Games' most ambitious project to date, taking players through 5 extensive worlds that branch through various terror filled rollercoaster routes based on The Dark Pictures franchise.

It has always been our aim to release in the launch window of the new PSVR 2 headset but it is also massively important to us that you, the players, receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible when you strap in for your first ride in Switchback VR. With  this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to set a new launch date of March 16th, 2023.

Thank you for all your excitement and patience - it really means the world to us! We cannot wait to reveal more about out sinister rollercoaster from hell and watch this space for our news gameplay features video coming over soon
