If you haven’t snagged PSVR2 rhythm shooter Pistol Whip just yet, then perhaps this announcement will push you over the edge. Canadian developer Cloudhead Games has been supporting the title with free content updates for years now – but it ain’t done yet, with its Overdrive add-on set to get underway on 1st May.
This represents a change in approach from the studio, as subsequent content will roll out monthly – all complimentary, of course. Each drop will bring a new scene, with some high fantasy backdrops glimpsed in the trailer – and crossbows! Obviously, you can expect all-new music, too, with Shred by artist LeKtrique up first.
For those of you who haven’t played Pistol Whip, it’s basically a gun-fu-inspired shooter where you need to dodge incoming projectiles and time your bullets to the beat. Each level takes inspiration from a different movie genre, with complementary posters and set dressing. It’s a really fun game, and the promise of even more free content makes it a must play.

Finally got my psvr2! Then before i could finish work had covid come on fiercely. so am completely bedridden.. haha. I can see the unopened box across the room. What can you do. Enjoy guys 🤷
Pistol Whip is an absolute blast I actually think i enjoy this more than beat saber. I had it on PSVR and was thrilled it was a fre upgrade for PSVR2. More free content is very welcome.
@Sequel noooo that sucks so bad! Hopefully you get better soon!
Never played this on psvr1, just played tonight on my vr2 and holy ***** is this fun. Not very good at it yet but wow it's fun
Easily one of the best VR games out there. Played it to death on PSVR1 and played for about an hour the other day on the Quest. Their free updates have been crazy. Excellent value.
Downloaded the free update for PSVR2 yesterday, haven’t got around to it yet though. I had plans to bounce around all the PSVR2 games yesterday, but Gran Turismo 7 put a stop to that and I ended up playing that for hours instead. Haha.
I didnt like the look of this but ao many positive reviews for have got me thinking twice. I may have to take another look at it.
Played this for the first time yesterday, like a cross between Beat Saber and Superhot...this game is AMAZING!!
Going to try this and Pavlov this evening. Was knackered after playing Horizon and swordsman last night.
@Sequel That's worse then awful 😞
@SoulChimera lol that's exactly what I did. Had a plan to play everything in reasonable amounts. Started with horizon and just couldn't stop! By the time I got to gt7 I did 2 races on one track just to see it. Never got to pistol whip and a bunch of other things at all!
Indeed a must play. So far it's probably my favourite game on PSVR2 but I haven't played all of them yet.
Just gave it 30 minutes, still brilliant! Really addictive, another one of those “just one more” games. Didn’t want to get off but I don’t have the time this afternoon. Haha
Played a few games of this yesterday while jumping from game to game, still brilliant. Stand out so far is gt7. Although yet to play horizon as it was downloading but will give that a go tonight, loving the vr2 so far though.
Does anyone know if the Psvr1 version will get these updates as well or is it just for psvr2?
@NinjaNicky
Well, we are also using it to play PSVR2 games.
@NinjaNicky
🤷♂️ for me the PS5 is just a gateway to PSVR2, so I guess I just can’t get your perspective. After nearly 40 years I’m bored of the same old games. Some still excite me, but the idea of removing what makes new gaming fresh, and going back to the same old depthless 2D window instead of being inside games. Meh. Yet another GoW or TLoU or whatever the next reskin is…not interested.
The best part of PSVR2 for me is how much money is now being poured into VR game development.
With developers being able to create cross-platform VR games that target PSVR2, PCVR and even Quest 2 simultaneously, there's a MASSIVE amount of money to be made. Which will only lead to more VR game releases + updates to existing titles.
No matter your stance on PSVR2's controversial value proposition, we should all be incredibly happy at what it's doing to revitalize the VR gamespace.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Honestly if you just watch videos or look at it in spectator mode or looks like trash. But once you put the headset on, this is easily the best game I've played on VR
@LeeHarveyOzgod i got it earlier and its bloody brilliant 😂😂
