Breaking News: Border Bots VR Delays Shipping to Next Year

In a surprising turn of events, Team17 has announced a delay in the release of Border Bots VR, pushing it into the next year. This unexpected decision stems from Team17’s commitment to ensuring a simultaneous launch on all platforms.

Border Bots VR, which resurfaced just last month, puts players in the role of a human border agent with the responsibility of verifying that robots possess the necessary clearance to enter the city. Originally slated for release on September 28 for PSVR 2 and PC VR, with a Quest 2 version planned for early 2024, the game’s launch schedule has now been adjusted to ensure a synchronized release on all platforms.

In an official statement, Team17 clarified the situation:

“We’ve made the decision to move the release date for Border Bots VR to 8th February 2024. This is to ensure the game launches simultaneously on all our planned platforms, SteamVR, PSVR 2, and Meta Quest 2, so that all our players can experience the game at the same time. We apologize for any disappointment and look forward to sharing the game with everyone when it releases early next year.”

The anticipation for Border Bots VR had been building, with positive impressions stemming from an exclusive Border Bots VR preview last month on PSVR 2. Drawing comparisons to popular titles like Startenders and Job Simulator, it was described as “easily one of our most anticipated VR titles,” lauded for being “wholly engaging” and “refreshingly polished.” The game’s immersive setting and interactive elements within its world garnered particular praise.

As a result of this delay, Border Bots VR is now set to arrive on February 8th for the Meta Quest platform, SteamVR, and PSVR 2. For a deeper dive into the game and its exciting prospects, you can explore our comprehensive preview below.

This unexpected development adds an intriguing twist to the VR gaming landscape, and fans of Border Bots VR will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting its launch next year.
