Crikey, the upcoming slate of PlayStation VR software looks utterly superb, doesn’t it? We can’t wait for the likes of Iron Man VR and Blood & Truth, but there’s another Sony published title that we’re itching to play. That is, of course, Everybody’s Golf VR – an adaptation of one of PlayStation’s most popular and longest running franchises.
You’ll be able to play with either a single PlayStation Move motion controller or a DualShock 4. Unlike previous instalments, however, it looks like you’ll play this version from a first-person perspective, and we’re guessing the click-click-click gameplay of yore has been replaced by something more physical.
Writing on the PlayStation Blog, though, associate producer Reina Araki alludes to the gameplay remaining as accessible as its non-VR counterparts. “We didn’t want to make it a simulator, but instead something that players could easily enjoy,” she explained.
One neat touch is that you’ll be able to interact with your caddies while out on the course, and we can certainly imagine how PSVR will help you to build a stronger bond with your bag carrier. The title’s due out on 21st May, so it’s part of this all-new wave of excellent looking virtual reality software – you can find a full list of upcoming PSVR games through the link.

Hype.
I wonder does Sony still have their characters cameo in this like it would be nice to see Aloy Kratos or even Sully show up to play golf
I cannot wait for this. Always thought it would be a thing when PSVR first released.
That was the biggest takeaway from State of Play last week. In just 10 minutes Sony turned PSVR's 2019 lineup from looking a bit lacking in noticeable titles to been hugely packed.
Iron Man
Everybody's Golf
No Mans Sky
Blood & Truth
Five Nights At Freddy's
And Concrete Genie.
I've been waiting for this ever since it was announced. Glad we have a release date.
What blows my mind is how unimpressed the community is with VR. Wasn’t that the idea with gaming? Become someone else? Take on an actual role? Most people don’t have the stomach for it, but I found mine. That said , it’s just golf. Get in there!
@AdamNovice Dreams!
@Octane Of course. I didn't want to include it cos it's still up in the air about it releasing this year.
Put my preorder in on the PS Store the moment it went live. I’ve loved every version of Hot Shots/Everybody’s Golf. VR is going to be awesome.
@Audiobrainiac Sadly it was the same attitude when Sony pushed indie games early in the gen. It comes down to "If I'm not interested in it then it's trash" it's why I said people needed to take a more subjective view of State of Play last week because not many understood that PSVR needed a big showcase of upcoming titles. PS4 right now can handle itself and the bigger games for that will come but if Sony didn't say a thing about VR then some may well have took the attitude that Sony was slowing down support.
@AdamNovice very well put. I totally agree.
Never thought I'd get excited for a golf game. Especially Everybody's Golf but thats what VR can do. Can't wait to play this.
@AdamNovice I think it's pretty much confirmed. A delay seems very unlikely with Early Access coming in two weeks.
I tried PSVR and thought it was a brilliant and proper game changing experience. But it also made me feel very sick which put me right off it unfortunately.
It's a shame because Everybody's Golf will be amazing in VR.
I have seen the prices go up since this announcement. Everybody's golf is a fantastic enjoyable game if you like golf/mario golf.
