C-Smash VRS receives a free update in two weeks, adding co-op and new gameplay modes to the PSVR 2 exclusive.
Released in June after receiving a free demo, C-Smash VRS is a VR reboot of SEGA's Cosmic Smash, which mixes Squash and Breakout with a first-person perspective. Following a previous confirmation on Twitter, RapidEyeMovers and Wolf & Wood outlined some key features planned for this upcoming update.

Detailed on PlayStation Blog, the update's highlights include 'Infinity Mode', which offers a dynamically generated arena that keeps changing with the music." Co-Op support is coming, though it's unclear how that will work. The music player lets you listen to the soundtrack, new levels are being added, there's a collaboration with UNKLE and more.
We had high praise in our recommended C-Smash VRS review, stating it "stylishly adapts this arcade classic for PSVR 2."
RapidEyeMovers and Wolf & Wood have done Cosmic Smash justice with this VR reimagining and I found C-Smash VRS successfully tapping into that "one more game" mindset. While Journey isn't a long campaign and the arcade-style gameplay doesn't have significant depth, there's strength in its simplicity that makes it an easy recommendation.
C-Smash VRS is available now on PSVR 2, while the content update arrives on September 14.
Note: This article, originally published on July 31, was updated on August 30 to reflect the release date confirmation.
