VR studio Archiact lays off many employees
Canadian VR studio Archiact, which was founded in 2013 and has developed titles such as Freediver, Evasion, and most recently Journey to Foundation, is laying off employees across nearly all areas of game development. No reasons were given for the layoffs. Presumably, the studio's last VR game did not have the commercial success it needed. Another venerable VR studio, First Contact Entertainment, shut down in December.
PSVR 2: Still no release date for Phasmophobia, but it could get a visual upgrade
Phasmophobia was scheduled for release on consoles and PSVR 2 in August 2023, and was delayed until next year after an office fire. The studio gave an update on Steam and wrote that they are still working hard on the port - without committing to a date or time frame.
However, the delay should have advantages for the fans: a large number of improvements that are currently being worked on for the PC version will be implemented in the console version right from the start. In addition, the port will contain many optimizations and will therefore run and look better on consoles. Hopefully the same will be true for the PSVR 2 version.
