July 11th 2025 — Prepare for an authentic hunting experience: Virtual Hunter, the highly acclaimed VR hunting simulator, is officially stalking its way to PlayStation VR2 and Meta platforms in 2025. Heralded on an earlier Steam release for its unparalleled realism, expansive freedom, and deliberate pacing, Virtual Hunter transcends the typical hunting game, offering a profoundly immersive outdoor adventure with a respectful approach towards hunting and nature. A new wave of players on PS VR2 and Meta will soon have the opportunity to stalk their prey with their preferred weapon or simply wander the vast, meticulously crafted terrain.
The developer, Korpi Games, has built Virtual Hunter around the principles of careful observation, patience, and learning the land. As enthusiastic Steam players have noted:
“The game really starts to shine when you unlock the bow and the callers. I was so satisfied with my first couple bow kills—and as an archery hunter in real life, it came very naturally on the realistic bow setting.”
With full day-night cycles, expansive terrain, and realistic animal behavior, players are free to shape each hunt their way. Some players even report spending more time exploring than hunting:
“The map is huge, and honestly, I’ve spent more time just wandering around checking everything out than actually hunting.”
Highlights:
-
Immersive Wildlife Simulation – Track red deer, fallow deer, red fox, roe deer, wild boar, pheasant and European hare, all with unique behaviors and senses.
-
Weapons & Realistic Handling – Choose from a range of firearms including bolt-action rifles, a double-barreled shotgun, and a pistol—all with detailed, true-to-life mechanics.

Custom Trophy Lodge – Proudly display your trophies with one of VR’s most loved trophy systems:
“Easily the best lodge I’ve seen in any hunting game. You can place mounts pretty much anywhere there’s space… other hunting games could definitely learn from this.”
With its upcoming release on PSVR2 and Meta, Virtual Hunter will bring a deeper, more natural approach to hunting for a new wave of players. The game is developed by Korpi Games and will be published by VRKiwi.
Stay tuned for exact launch dates and further updates on PS VR2 and Meta platforms!
