PlayStation VR is slowly and steadily receiving new games, and one of the more promising titles coming soon is Fracked. Exclusive to Sony's headset, the game takes place in the Alaskan mountains, where a fracking facility is centre stage in an invasion from interdimensional creatures. It's always looked good in gameplay videos (the above being no exception), so we're excited to get our thermals on and check it out ourselves.
Fortunately, you won't have to wait to give it a try. Developer nDreams has today released a free playable demo for the game, available right now on PS Store. The demo contains a portion from the shooter's opening moments, featuring on-foot, climbing, and skiing gameplay — and of course, plenty of baddies to shoot.
The game also now has a release date. Fracked will launch on 20th August, a full month after the demo's arrival. Will you be checking out the demo, or waiting for the full thing next month? Take to the slopes in the comments section below.

I would like to try this, but PSVR is such a ball ache to set up.
Only a month to go until the full release. I can’t wait to try this. Unfortunately, no time until tomorrow.
Why have demos seemed to become a thing of the past? Especially given the price of ps5 games - I'm not willing to risk £70 or so on games like demons souls and returnal that I've never played the likes of before and may be put off by the difficulty or nature of them. Give us 10 mins of gameplay or something, it would surely convert into more sales.
Agree about the ball ache of setting up psvr hence I sold mine.
@MatthewJP according to Ubisoft and their team who did some research on that, it doesn't. It reduces sales for some reason
@naruball I'm not surprised people who try Ubisoft games don't want to pay for them at launch.
@Bentleyma-
I've got to ask, how is it a ball ache? I use mine with my PS5 so I just leave the camera plugged in, leave all the hdmi cables plugged into the P.unit, and just plug the hdmi cable in when I want to use it. Tbf I do leave the P.unit in the same place though.
@Yozora146_ I can’t use HDR when it’s set up, so I can’t really leave it plugged in, not that I’d want to really, there’s just to many wires everywhere.
@Bentleyma- ah, so you've got a gen 1 box, yeah that would suck for me too I would even be able to use it with my amp which keeps my cables tidy. I do have to swap the cable if I want to use the PS5s hdmi 2.1 features though. Although I think we can agree its too hot for VR right now right lol.
@Bentleyma- I leave my set up. Just turn it on. The TV I'm using doesn't have HDR so it's not an issue for me.
I had the original non HDR pass through box, I just ran it through a switch box so I could press a button for HDR.
I bought the second PSVR unit when that came out to eliminate even the switch box.
I’m the same as a few of you here. I just have it set up, you don’t see any of the wires, just the front of the pass through box, which I plug the headset into when I want to use it.
Takes about 10 seconds that way.
