At the beginning of March Epic Games released its first fully fledged virtual reality (VR) experience in the form of Robo Recall. Today the studio has now unveiled a major update, adding support for 360-degree tracking as well as other improvements.
Most of the inclusions are fixes to smooth out the videogame, but the major feature is that tracking so that more sensors are support if users have them.
As an added bonus Epic has released music track, “Shooty Shooty Gun Hands.” As the studio states on its blog: “We had hopes to finish the track in time for the game’s release and couldn’t quite get there, so as they say, better late than never!”
