Low-Fi Returns To The Upload VR Showcase: Summer Edition In June

You’ve been asking and we can finally confirm: yes, Low-Fi will be returning to the Upload VR Showcase: Summer Edition on June 8th (final time TBC).

Low-Fi is VR veteran IRIS VR’s follow-up to early PC VR title, Technolust. Set in a dystopian future inspired by films like Blade Runner, the game is an open-world simulation in which players choose how to spend their time. Cast as a police officer replacing another killed in action, you earn cash how you see fit, either playing good or bad cop.

Our most recent look at the game came from our Holiday VR Showcase in November, which you can see below.

We’ll have fresh footage of the game at our next Showcase on June 8th.  Low-Fi passed a Kickstarter campaign with ease last year and is on its way to PC VR headsets. We know you’ve had your eye on this one for some time, and we’re just as excited as you to get our next look at it.

Not sure what our VR Showcase is? Think of it like a Nintendo Direct for VR; we’ll be announcing new games, showing off the latest looks at some of your most anticipated titles and more. It’s basically one big celebration of the industry.

Low-Fi is the second game we’re teasing for this year’s show. Yesterday we also confirmed that Apex Construct developer Fast Travel Games will be returning with a brand new game reveal, too. We’ll have plenty more to share in the weeks building up to the show, so stay tuned.

Fast Travel Games To Reveal Its Next Project At Upload VR Showcase: Summer Edition

Here’s some news we wish we could fast travel right to; the developer of Apex Construct, The Curious Tale Of The Stolen Pets and more is coming to Upload’s VR Showcase: Summer Edition on June 8th.

Yep, Showcase regulars Fast Travel Games will return to the 2020 iteration of our big event with a brand new game reveal. At last year’s E3 VR Showcase, Fast Travel debuted cutesy VR puzzler, The Curious Tale Of The Stolen Pets (which just revealed hand-tracking support on Quest), and Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency, which it co-developed alongside Neat Corp. What could the team have in store for this year? No teases from us, but you’ll definitely want to tune in.

Fast Travel Games VR Showcase Tease

Fast Travel Games broke onto the VR scene in 2018 with Apex Construct, a VR adventure game that offered a full, story-driven campaign; not something that was very common at the time. Since then the team has become a big player in the industry with two Quest titles (a port of Apex and Curious Tale) and wider support for all headsets, including Sony’s PSVR. We can’t wait to see what it’s cooking up next.

The Upload VR Showcase: Summer Edition lands on June 8th (final time TBC). Fast Travel is bringing just one of over 20 upcoming titles we’ll be spotlighting this year, including fresh looks at some of your most anticipated games and all-new announcements. If you want to be the first to know what the next 12 months and beyond look like for your VR headset, you won’t want to miss it.

The Upload VR Showcase: Summer Edition Arrives June 8 On YouTube & IGN

E3 may be gone but that won’t stop us! The Upload VR Showcase: Summer Edition arrives on your screens on June 8, 2020 (final time TBA). And this year we’re going big.

That’s right, we’ll be back to break more headlines, announce new games and give you deeper looks at upcoming titles next month. For our second summer showcase, we’re proud to be teaming up with IGN. They’ll be carrying the show as part of their Summer of Gaming event this June. Our showcases are all about the VR industry coming together to make a big splash during an exciting time in the gaming calendar and this partnership is a big step towards doing exactly that.

Not familiar with an Upload Showcase? Think of them as Nintendo Direct-style videos, just exclusively for new VR games. We held our first event at E3 last year where we revealed huge games like After The Fall, Pistol Whip and Budget Cuts 2. We’ve been hard at work planning the 2020 edition and we’re looking forward to showing over 20 VR games.

Expect news from some of the biggest VR developers around like Fast Travel Games and Cloudhead Games as well as highlights on some indie darlings and more. If you’re lucky, we may even introduce you to one or two new studios that have been secretly mining away on new games over the past few months and years.

So mark your calendars and prep your bingo cards; we’ve got a few more weeks to deliver our biggest and best showcase yet. We’ll see you soon!
