Sony hasn’t delved too deeply into the world of service games, but one of its biggest hits in the arena has been Firewall Zero Hour. The tactical first-person shooter has a very dedicated fanbase, and has been growing regularly since launching a few years ago. Unsurprisingly, then, it’ll be getting some improvements when you play on PlayStation 5.
In addition to the obligatory faster loading times, you’ll also get better visual fidelity. First Contact Entertainment explains that because the title is able to run at a higher base resolution on Sony’s next-gen console, the image is cleaner when super-sampled on the existing PlayStation VR headset. This is the second virtual reality game to get a meaningful upgrade through backwards compatibility, with Blood & Truth also getting boosted on the system.

YES!! Keep 'em coming!
Awesome.
I just wished Driveclub Vr could be patched up too. The low res background are just killing the experience imo.
Please Sony. 🙏🙏
Did anyone in the UK get an update on the PSVR adapter for PS5?
I have some concerns about my request as the confirmation email reads “We will contact you again about the status of your request. If granted, shipments are expected to begin around mid-November 2020.“ but so far, no updates.
First Contact Entertainment has been fantastic for Lobby Simulators in VR.
Solaris is almost as good as Firewall in that respect.
@madcow78
I'm in the US & received mine about five days after applying.
Great news! This game is pretty intense. Rainbow 6 level, but in VR.
@madcow78 I got the same and have not received a follow up about it since.
@KPraj thanks. Now I know that am not alone in this situation but I really don’t get why they haven’t given the adapters to retailers it’d have been much easier
@SirRealDeal I saw on Twitter that in USA someone got it yesterday
@madcow78 Same here, no follow-up after the confirmation email.
@madcow78
I'm not in the UK, but the US. Exact same processes for me, but it showed up two days ago on my doorstep. FedEx sent me a message because I monitor my address, but if not for that it would have been unannounced.
Great news. I hope more games get this treatment.
@madcow78 Nope. Radio silence. Let’s hope we all get them in time.
Fantastic news, all PSVR games should benefit from this. Astro Bot rescue mission, Moss, Farpoint, I could go on.
VR Multiplayer is the future of gaming. Need more comfortable VR headsets for all day use.
I hope Farpoint gets an update!
@supermarino I am still waiting on mine. It's weird because I requested it the day after it went live. I downloaded the FedEx app too and still have not seen any signs it is coming.
@madcow78 I'm in the UK, requested mine as the page went live and received the same message as you, haven't got a further reply or the adaptor yet.
My guess is that if Sony have sent customer's units out a few days before the PS5 hardware launch in the USA, then they'll potentially be doing the same in the UK, so maybe sometime next week we'll get our units too.
@SJBUK @SoulChimera @MrSec84 @KPraj I’ve just received the confirmation email. It should arrive within 6 days. It reads ‘3 to 6 business days’
@madcow78 I got the same email 👍
@madcow78 Just checked my email, got it too
"Your PlayStation®Camera Adaptor is on the way
Great news! Your request for a PlayStation Camera Adaptor has been processed and is on its way to you.
This usually takes approximately 3 to 6 business days. "
@SJBUK @SoulChimera @KPraj I was just looking at my email and got the same one around 5:15pm on Friday, hopefully they'll come in time for Thursday.
I never got around to playing Blood & Truth, along with a bunch of my PSVR games, next weekend is going to be insane with this launch, I can't wait!!!
@KPraj @madcow78 @SJBUK @MrSec84 Well, I still don’t have any email and it’s now days away. Haha. I guess I can wait, but it’s annoying that I can’t set it all up on day one and just leave it.
@SoulChimera Did you get the first registration email? If you don't get an email today it might be worth trying to re-register for it. If it tells you you've already registered then at least you know it should be just a matter of time.
@SJBUK Yeah, I got the first email. Nothing since then. I’ll try and register again later and see what happens.
@SoulChimera Sorry to hear that SoulChimera, I wonder if Sony are doing them in batches and based on when people applied for the adapter to be sent out.
BTW I ordered my Disc Model PS5 through Very, apparently it was Despatched from the Supplier at 2:45pm so I'm hoping it gets to my pickup point tomorrow.
At least I know I should be getting my system and I was allocated a console for launch.
Maybe message the customer service department and ask them what's happening with the adapters.

@SJBUK @SoulChimera @KPraj
Just thought I would provide an update on the PSVR PS5 adapter, I got mine through my letter box today, it came in a Cardboard Envelope, with instructions and the actual adapter was in a clear plastic bag inside.
My PS5 was available for me to collect from my local Post Office last Thursday, awesome machine.
I haven't hooked up my VR Headset to my PS5 so hopefully the adapter works, but I thought it was good to update this comment thread that the units are real and Sony have been sending them out.
Hope many have gotten theirs like me and are having fun with their PS5's.
@MrSec84 still nothing. I’ve phoned them. They were completely useless on the phone. Said they couldn’t do anything and couldn’t tell me if my order had gone through. Said they would escalate it and someone would call in the next two days. That was a week ago today. Nothing.
@MrSec84 @SoulChimera @KPraj Excellent. Got mine last Friday, forgot to post. Like your good self I haven't gotten around to hooking it up yet. I did finally buy Astro Bot Rescue Mission in the PS Store sale yesterday, will hopefully get a chance to try it today.
@SJBUK you’re in for a treat. One the games of this generation. Praying for a sequel.
@SJBUK @MrSec84 @SoulChimera
I have also received mine last week. Sorry to hear that Soul!
