Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever hits SteamVR this Thursday

Sony Pictures and XR Games’ hit VR shooter launches with a special 10 hour live broadcast this Thursday on Steam

Following a highly successful launch on Oculus Quest, ‘Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever’ hits SteamVR on Thursday 29th July with a special 10-hour live broadcast and thousands of dollars of cash prizes to give away.

A nominee for ‘Game of the Year’ at the 2021 VR Awards, Zombieland VR is developed by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (SPVR) and XR Games. The game is inspired by light-gun games of the 90s and the racing games of today, and lets players join Tallahassee, Wichita, Columbus, and Little Rock to take on the most lethal zombie-killing race course ever - the Zombieland Invitational!

Since its launch in March 2021, 'Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever,’ has received over 340 Oculus Store ratings with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5, hit the top ten Oculus sales charts in its first two weeks on sale, and won ‘Best Video / Audio’ in the VR category at the 2021 NYX Awards.

Thursday’s SteamVR release brings with it a host of graphical improvements such as enhanced anti-aliasing, screen-space ambient occlusion, supreme colour grading, 4 bone skinning, and the quality of real-time shadows has also been boosted.

This SteamVR version also includes two extra levels, giving SteamVR players a first look at two new levels not seen on other platforms. It also includes the three new levels recently added to the big ‘Kingpin Update’ on Oculus Quest, fixes, improvements and more.

To celebrate the launch of Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever on SteamVR, XR Games will be hosting a special 10 hour live broadcast on the Zombieland VR Steam page from 6pm BST / 1pm PT / 10am ET, running until 4am BST / 11pm PT / 8pm ET.
