The launch of the PlayStation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/playstation/] VR2 (PSVR2) has brought virtual reality gaming to a whole new level. It has given an immersive graphical experience to the fans along with 3D dynamic audio for a complete package. Along with this headset, Sony released a free update for Gran Turismo 7 VR mode. Racing games, like GT7, have always been the choice to showcase the possibilities of VR. But an upcoming racing game, F1 2023, might be losing out on the opportunity. This may come as a shock for PlayStation 5 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/playstation-5/] fans. However, the developers of the game hopefully might release an update for the VR headset of the console. F1 2023 WILL NOT HAVE PSVR2 SUPPORT Electronic Arts recently released a statement that F1 2023 would not receive support for PSVR2. While talking to Mixed News [https://mixed-news.com/en/f1-23-announced-formula-one-racing-for-pc-vr-and-psvr-2-update/], EA confirmed the latest F1 installment will only be released as a normal version on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/playstation-4/] on June 13, 2023. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/f1-23-1.jpg] However, there is still good news for PC gaming enthusiasts. They will be getting both the normal version and the PC VR version. The PC VR version of the game will come slightly later on June 16, 2023. Verstappen’s Latest Sponsorship Deal With Multi-Billion Dollar E-Sports Developer Grabs Eyes Around F1 World [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-esports-news-must-be-getting-free-fifa-points-million-worth-max-verstappen-latest-sponsorship-deal-with-multi-billion-dollar-e-sports-developer-grabs-eyes-around-f1-world/] Still, just the support for virtual reality for PC won’t be enough for the EA game to take over Gran Turismo 7. GRAN TURISMO 7 RACING AHEAD OF ITS COUNTERPARTS The reception of the PSVR2 update on Gran Turismo 7 was phenomenal. Fans were loving the eye-tracking features and 3D-surround sound present. Furthermore, the VR mode had no effect on the game’s non-VR mode. In most game modes of GT7, players may transition between VR and non-VR modes without losing their progress. This is a huge step forward in cross-platform gaming as earlier VR-enabled titles limited the feature to certain modes only. YT-Gran Turismo-7-VR [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/YT-Gran-Turismo-7-VR.jpg] With an online multiplayer mode in virtual reality and support for both the steering wheel and PS5 controller, Gran Turismo 7 is surely racing ahead of its counterparts. F1 2023 would have to certainly reconsider its decisions to include support for PSVR2 if they want to compete with Gran Turismo 7. Watch this Story: Best Open-World Games on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/best-open-world-games-on-playstation-xbox-and-pc-gta-5-witcher-3-esports-news/] What are your thoughts on F1 2023 lacking behind Gran Turismo 7 for PSVR2 support? Do you think they will be introducing it later? Let us know in the comment section below. 

In light of recent reports, F1 2023 seems to be running behind their racing
counterpart when they decided not to support PSVR2 in their game.
