Upcoming PS4 survival racing game Distance will also support PlayStation VR, developer Refract has announced.

Distance is a point-to-point racer, only here the player will be challenged to reach the goal alive, overcoming treacherous obstacles around every corner.

Distance launched in Steam Early Access back in December 2014 after being Kickstarter funded in November 2012, and had been targeting a PS4 launch this year.

In the year since the PS4 version was announced developer Refract has been working hard to add things like random track generation, new story mode content, improved car customisation, improved multiplayer features, and other optimisations.

PlayStation VR support can now be added to that list of new features.

“You can now race through these chaotic tracks from the seat of the driver,” explains Jordan Hemenway of Refract. “PlayStation VR gives you an amazing sense of scale as you’re able to look into turns or glance over at other players in multiplayer. Once we started prototyping VR gameplay in Distance it was undeniable that getting a true feel for the jumps, flips, and flying is exhilarating.”

Distance is now scheduled to launch on PS4 in 2016.
