News: Physics based racer Vector 36 will arrive on consoles next year and will include VR support for PS4.

Vector 36 is coming to Xbox One and PS4 in 2016 according to Red River Studio. Built as a physics-based racer, Vector 36 challenges you to create the skimmer that suits your piloting needs. Engineered by your hands, design plays a large role in the success of flight. Test your creations to find the ultimate fit for taking down other rival pilots, as you perfect your trade both in the cockpit and the garage. Vector 36 is available now on PC in Early Access and will be releasing in late 2016 on PS4, and Xbox One.

Fully customizable, your skimmer is the creation of ideas and plans put into practice. Design, modify, and perfect your own skimmer with a variety of parts, accessories, and weapons. Each piece of your skimmer is bound by the laws of physics, making part placement key to your success while in flight.

Vector 36 will also be VR compatible. It will let you sit inside the cockpit of your own skimmer creation. Controller support will give you in-cockpit control, while VR immersion takes you even further. It is currently compatible with Oculus DK2 and will be compatible in 2016 on Oculus, Steam VR and PlayStation VR.

If you are a PC gamer and are taking advantage of the early access then you can take advantage of the big update that was just released that includes:

New DLC which includes the 4 slot enclosed garage

Stage 1 full VR support. Reworked cockpit models and interfaces

In-Cockpit pilot model and active IK added

Major optimizations to models and terrain

Rework of initial skimmer difficulty and flight model reworked for stability

Damage model change allows “brushing” against objects without total destruction

Skimmer History and initial save states (a skimmer undo button)

Garage test mode before edit commitment

Controller input now drives interface making it easier for VR navigation

General stability and glitch fixes
