Flat2VR Studios is not only working on a VR port of Postal 2 (which was in the news earlier today), but they’re also working with Paradox Interactive and Bolverk Games to bring the Mars survival simulation to VR.

Mars is calling – will you survive its unforgiving frontier? The Red Planet is vast, desolate, and completely indifferent to your survival. With nothing but your wits, limited resources, and the tools at your disposal, you must eke out an existence in one of the most hostile environments imaginable. For the first time, the Surviving Mars universe has been brought to VR, delivering a fully immersive survival experience where every decision matters. Establish an autonomous mining operation and carefully manage oxygen, food, and energy to keep yourself alive. Build and expand your base with hands-on construction mechanics, optimizing power grids and resource extraction to stay one step ahead of disaster.

Before venturing into the unknown, make sure you’re in optimal condition-every decision must be carefully weighed, as survival depends on preparation as much as action. Accept contracts to mine, refine, and export valuable resources to unlock advanced blueprints, vehicles, and technology that could mean the difference between thriving and barely scraping by. Shape your survival strategy through smart economic decisions, investing in the tools and infrastructure needed to secure your foothold on the planet. Beyond your outpost, an entire planet awaits. Strap on your jetpack and traverse towering cliffs, navigate treacherous dust storms, and uncover the hidden secrets buried beneath the Martian soil. Every choice you make will determine your survival, because out here, there are no second chances.

Surviving Mars: Pioneer will be released for PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 2. Expect it to be in Early Access first: this will happen sometime later this year, but the release date for version 1.0 is currently unknown. It could be in 2026.
