Vortex 9 VR Version
The VR adaptation of Vortex 9 will bring the popular cross-platform casual online shooter into VR for the first time, complete with full cross-play support across PC, mobile, and VR versions.
“Vortex 9 VR Version [is] the first-ever online third-person shooter for Meta Quest. Yes, it’s true: no other online third-person shooter currently exists on the standalone VR platform, and we are planning to fill this niche with a VR port of a great game, that is already loved by millions of players worldwide,” said Alexander Nasonov, Producer at iTales VR.
Vortex 9 VR Version is suggested for release on Meta Quest headsets later this year. The exact launch date will be announced in the near future.
