Rather than simply reading out commands to the VR user, however, or learning tracks and actually issuing commands as they would in real life, the second player simply hits button prompts in time as they scroll down the screen. In concept, it’s actually rather brilliant a friend takes on the role of the co-driver and alerts you to incoming turns, bumps and obstructions. This mode is exclusive to PSVR, and makes use of the social screen functionality. Its cooperative multiplayer mode, however, is a little different.
It’s one of the few VR experiences that can completely immerse you and makes you forget you’re sitting in your living room. It’s pretty much identical to the Oculus Rift version of the game a rock solid racer that roots you in the experience, piling on the life-risking rush of putting your foot down and sliding a car through a muddy Welsh forest as if you were intent on smashing into something. Let’s be clear about this: Dirt Rally on PlayStation VR (PSVR) is brilliant.
