Frontier Developments have announced that their popular space epic game, Elite Dangerous, will support SteamVR and the HTC Vive virtual reality headset in the PC version. Chief Creative Officer of Frontier Development Jonny Watts said:
‘We’re thrilled to announce SteamVR support as part of the ongoing expansion of Elite Dangerous. Back in December 2013 we were among the first to support virtual reality with a triple-A game, and for me, exploring, trading and fighting throughout Elite Dangerous’ 1:1 scale Milky Way remains an unequaled virtual reality experience. We have been working closely with Valve to bring Elite Dangerous to HTC Vive, and we are delighted with the quality we have been able to achieve.’
Elite Dangerous is currently available on PC and Mac, and will be fully available at a later date for the PS4 and Xbox One.
