Originally making waves on the Meta Quest last year, Friendly Fire Studios has officially brought their high-octane survival shooter, A Long Survive, to PlayStation VR2 and SteamVR. This isn’t just a simple port, though; it’s a massive technical overhaul that aims to set a new benchmark for scale in virtual reality.

If you’ve ever felt that VR shooters were a bit too “intimate” with their enemy counts, prepare yourself—this update introduces what the developers are calling the largest enemy hordes ever seen in VR.

Rebuilt for Power

To make the leap from standalone hardware to the beefier specs of the PS5 and high-end PCs, Friendly Fire Studios essentially rebuilt the game from the ground up. This “Major Update” isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about the atmosphere. Players can expect:

Enhanced Visuals: Completely overhauled lighting systems and high-fidelity character models.

Immersive Soundscapes: New VFX and 3D audio that make every alien screech feel uncomfortably close.

Refined Combat: Tweaked physics and weapon handling to ensure every shot feels impactful.

Exclusive PSVR2 Features

For those jumping in on Sony’s headset, the studio has gone the extra mile to utilise the hardware’s unique “Sense” features. You won’t just see the horde; you’ll feel them.

120Hz Refresh Rate: Silky smooth gameplay to keep the motion sickness at bay during chaotic skirmishes.

Head Haptics: Feel the vibration of the Nexus taking damage or the thud of nearby explosions.

Adaptive Triggers: Distinct tension for different weapon types, from rapid-fire rifles to heavy Forge Guns.

PlayStation Trophies: For the completionists looking to prove their elite Space Corp status.

Strategic Survival: More Than Just Shooting

At its core, A Long Survive is a cooperative experience (1-4 players) that blends frantic FPS action with Real-Time Strategy (RTS) elements. You aren’t just a soldier; you’re a defender of the Nexus.

“If the Nexus falls, the game is over.”

Between waves, you’ll need to manage resources scavenged from the battlefield. Using your Forge Gun, you can construct walls, turrets, and traps to funnel the massive alien waves into kill zones. With four unique heroes to choose from—each with their own skill trees and special abilities—team composition and tactical placement are just as important as your aim.

Crossplay: Join the Global Space Corp

One of the biggest wins for the community is the inclusion of full crossplay. Whether your friends are on Meta Quest, SteamVR, or PSVR2, you can squad up together to tackle the missions. In a genre that lives and dies by its player base, this ensures you’ll always have a wingman (or three) to watch your back when the horizon turns red with enemies.

A Long Survive is available now on the PlayStation Store and Steam.
