Borderlands 2 VR (2018) landed on PSVR late last year, although Gearbox Software made it clear at launch that it was going to be a timed exclusive, with a minimum of five months given to PlayStation. Now, it appears a Windows PC version of the game has just gotten its ESRB rating, putting it one step closer to PC VR headset users.

As first reported by UploadVR, Twitter user ‘Wario64’ broke the news during E3 2019 that Borderlands 2 VR for Windows PC had garnered an ‘M’ rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).

The ESRB website doesn’t show this rating specifically at the time of this writing; it only lists the rating for the previous PlayStation 4 version. Twitter user Wario64 has generally been a reliable source for leaks however, and considering the game’s release on PC VR was all but confirmed by the studio itself even before launch on PSVR, the supposed rating is decidedly credible, if not a complete banality to anyone not following the space.

Admittedly, we weren’t too impressed with Borderlands 2 VR on PSVR, giving it a tepid [5.9/10] on our linear grading scale. Road to VR’s Ben Lang reviewed the game on PSVR when it launched in December 2018, saying that while it technically works in VR, it still hasn’t managed to escape the feeling of being an outright port. On top of that, there’s no co-op mode, no VR-specific interactions, middling graphics, and a gamepad-first design.

Although it’s since gotten a few quality of life updates, bringing with it support for PS Aim and improved shooting for all controller types, it’ll be interesting to see if Gearbox takes the opportunity to iron out more of the other gripe-worthy issues we saw on PSVR for the PC VR release.

On that note, Gearbox recently announced they plan on bringing “all” of game’s DLC to Borderlands 2 VR in an update this summer, for free. The studio also said they’re working on bringing more community suggestions to the game, including “improvements to the HUD and height offset along with fixes to an unreachable chest, teleport, performance and more.”

Update (10:00 AM ET): Added information on incoming DLC.

    Great, I was worried it wasn’t coming to PC.

    Hopefully it’s not 40 bucks, it’s a bit of a late cold pizza.

    I’ve been playing this non-vr lately because it was $6 on Steam. Honestly that version feels like a console port too, but does have decent keyboard/mouse, so I’m optimistic the vr port is better than bethesda’s ports which are always flagrantly designed for gamepads.

    But if there’s no coop…

    It’s fab on psvr with the Aim especially.

  • CazCore
