Ultrawings 2 originally released in October 2022, receiving good reviews. You can grab it on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1485140/Ultrawings_2/) and the Meta Quest, and to the surprise of the developers, on the PS VR2 as well.

Bit Planet Games expressed as much shock as players when the game suddenly appeared on the PS Store. The studio has mostly taken it in stride, describing it as a "shadow drop" despite how the sudden release has robbed the team of prior marketing for the new version. According to the devs, a patch is on the way, though many players on the r/PSVR subreddit claim it runs well despite the lack of a day-one patch.

When asked, the team confirmed that the launch was entirely unforeseen. Fortunately, the team is not stuck with a broken game and those who have jumped in are experiencing minimal issues. Sony hasn't commented on the matter.


It goes without saying that fans on PS5 are delighted (https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/19fh2pb/ultrawings_2_is_on_the_store/kjkptop/), though they do express sympathy for the developers. The team also confirms that a physical edition is probably never coming (https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/19fh2pb/ultrawings_2_is_on_the_store/kjkptop/).


It's described as an island-themed aerial action-adventure game and while I have admittedly never played it, the praise and trailers have piqued my interest.
