[31/05/2023] An Update on the Switchback VR Patch
We are reaching out today to provide an update regarding Switchback VR.
At present, the development team for Switchback VR remain hard at work creating a new patch for the game. This will be a larger update that not only addresses various reported issues, but also includes additional improvements to deliver an enhanced experience for all players.
We have heard your feedback and requests for more information about the patch, and would like to confirm that the following fixes and improvements will be included:
- Fixes for blurred / low resolution visuals
- Fixes for textures and assets popping
- Greatly reduced loading times
- Enhancements to visuals, VFX and lighting
- Improvements to textures and environment assets
- Introduction of FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and foveated rendering
The patch is now nearing the end of its development, and we plan to release it as soon as it is ready. Our current aim is to release the patch at the end of June, with the exact release date yet to be confirmed. We will share another update on our social media channels with the confirmed release date when available, so please look out for this in the near future.
Creating a patch of this scale and scope takes time, and we want you all to know that we sincerely appreciate your continued patience and understanding while development remains ongoing. We understand that this process is taking longer than anticipated and want to assure you all that your voices and feedback throughout this period are being heard.
The Switchback VR team are determined to ensure that your gameplay experience following the deployment of this patch exceeds all of your expectations, and we cannot wait to share it with you once it is ready. We have a lot planned for the game in the future and we hope that you’ll join us on Inferno’s Ride very soon.

Thank you. Seriously. I really appreciate this update. Rush of Blood was how I, and many gamers, introduced friends and families to VR as a concept back when it first launched. I've been waiting for so long to be able to do the same with Switchback on the new hardware. I think I speak for everyone when I say this level of transparency from your team is deeply appreciated. I've been rooting for the developers at Supermassive, and now I feel validated for that faith. This is such great news. Thanks for all your hard work and communication.

This is Brilliant News, there is still a lot left to create in switchback, hopefully 🙏 DLCs, and a Remastered Updated Rush of Blood 🩸 would most welcome
Many thanks everyone!!0 -
This is amazing! I've used switchback VR to show VR to friends and family and they love it. These games are so much fun I hope people would get to experience them and I'm sure they would explode!! Please bring an updated Rush of blood and a Haunted House only mode, where you just ride with no shooting please!!!! Keep up the good work.

You guys are awesome. Thank you for listening to the fans and to those of us who purchased Switchback VR (it was one of the first games I had pre-ordered). You had made the mistake of letting us all know what you're capable of (wink, wink) and so our expectations came high. Can't wait for the new patch! Thanks again and Supermassive will always have my support and appreciation.

Hi Georgina, would the patch be ready before the end of June? We really hope these improvements in graphics, really due to the power of ps5 + psvr 2 they should look better than the previous generation 🙏
