Champions League PS4 PlayStation 4 VR 1

Tonight marks the Champions League final, as Real Madrid attempt to win a record second successive European crown against Italian giants Juventus in the Welsh capital Cardiff. It’s the biggest club event in the footballing calendar – it’s a bit like the Super Bowl of soccer but spanning an entire continent rather than a single country.

And German satellite broadcaster Sky Deutschland has teamed up with Sony in order to show the match with PlayStation VR. Now there are a few catches: you need to be a PlayStation Plus subscriber first and foremost, and this is only limited to Germany. In the UK, the match is being shown in virtual reality as well, but only via BT Sport’s app.

There are other limitations as well: the experience is limited to a 180-degrees view, and presumably won’t be 3D either. That said, this is the future of virtual reality in our opinion, and while we’re only just beginning to scratch the surface of what’s possible, we reckon that the future will be bright if the investment continues to flow.
