SUPERHOT VR’s outstanding Oculus Quest launch debuts new Live Action trailer!

The SUPERHOT Team is celebrating their incredibly successful SUPERHOT VR Oculus Quest launch by releasing a full live-action trailer!

The launch of SUPERHOT VR on the Oculus Quest has been the team’s most successful VR launch to date, earning their highest first day sales so far. The title has also seen 300% higher sales than their launch on Oculus Rift.

“We’ve been amazed by the outstanding player reception on the Quest. It’s an outstanding piece of hardware that feels excitingly close to magic. It represents a totally new quality in VR. It’s a watershed moment for the industry and the sales numbers suggests that players believe so too.” Tom Kaczmarczyk, Cofounder & Director at SUPERHOT.

This success can be credited in part to the excellent reviews that the game has received so far.

Gamers are loving the untethered freedom brought by the new hardware. Using the Oculus Quest’s cable-less system makes it ideal to pull off SUPERHOT’s signature Matrix-like slow-motion dodges. Playing without cables, without limitations, maximizes immersion and delivers the best SUPERHOT VR experience yet.

Now available on the Oculus Quest! SUPERHOT VR on Quest is the definitive SUPERHOT VR experience. It retains everything great from existing platforms while taking advantage of the Oculus Quest’s tetherless nature to immerse players even deeper into SUPERHOT’s fabricated, brutal world of concrete and glass.

Thanks to the Quest’s free roam wireless capabilities, SUPERHOT VR has been rebuilt into what it was originally meant to be. Nothing distracts the player from the rush of SUPERHOT’s signature slow-motion combat. Players move relentlessly from fight to fight, flowing through the action like a ballerina of death. 360 tracking revolves the world around you, letting players move, run, and slice through a hail of slow-motion bullets. No tethers are holding you back!
