<p class="">Greetings, fellow Cosmonauts! Thank you for tuning into this exciting new announcement. In<a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2023/02/13/c-smash-vrs-reimagines-segas-iconic-futuristic-sports-puzzler-for-ps-vr2-demo-out-next-month/"> our first PS blog post,</a> we announced our reimagining of Sega’s arcade and console icon for Single, Co-Op and Versus gameplay – only on PlayStation VR2. The response has been overwhelming.</p>
<p class="">Today, as promised, we’re launching a free playable demo.</p>
<p class="">You will be able to pre-order the game at a discount before the full game launches on June 23 2023.</p>
<p class="">Our game is being crafted by a veritable dream team of developers, artists and musicians scattered all over our little blue ball spinning around in a remote corner of the galaxy – and your support means the world to us. In the meantime, allow us to tell you a bit more about what’s in store – both in the demo and in the full release.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s in the demo?</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tutorial</strong></h3>
<p class="">When you first load up the game, you are transported straight into the world of C-Smash VRS. The game is designed to be easy to pick up and play, so you can feel at one with your virtual body and at ease in a stylish space at the edge of time.</p>
<p class="">C-Smash VRS feels natural. In a few quick steps, the Tutorial gives you some guidance and general tips to play. Don’t forget to learn the Trick Smash, designed to attract the hard-to-reach high balls and hit the ball with larger-than-life power and precision.</p>
<p class="">A feature to note – if you want to switch hands, you can do so in the menu – left-handed, right-handed or ambidextrous, we’ve got you sorted!</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Training</strong></h3>
<p class="">While most training modes are there to teach, this single player mode is a fun, engaging and absorbing challenge.</p>
<p class="">Smash blocks of different strengths, improve your score and enjoy the dynamic music.</p>
<p class="">The arena is built of a grid of dots that pulse and ripple with gameplay. This is reflected in the hand and head vibrations, making you feel the impact of a well-timed return as well as the ripple of a missed shot as it returns, ready to serve.</p>
<p class="">A crisp and beautiful cosmos awaits, the PSVR 2’s OLED display bringing the minimal but vivid color palette to life. Design has never felt more physical and present.</p>
<p class="">The Training mode gives you a small taste of the full release’s Journey mode, which you will also be able to play Co-Op with a friend. Which brings us to our Demo’s multiplayer mode:</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Versus</strong></h3>
<p class="">Play with a friend or face off against players from across the planet.*</p>
<p class="">Using PlayStation Activity Cards, players not already playing the game, can jump straight in to join friends in multiplayer sessions. Hook up with a friend in the ‘Cosmic Shuttle’ and head out to play Clash, the fast-paced multiplayer VS mode included in the demo.</p>
<p class="">The aim is to smash the other player’s blocks and protect your own.</p>
<p class="">The power and speed of PlayStation 5 allows for instant transition into matches with your next rematch only seconds away!</p>
<p class="">You can play C-Smash VRS seated or standing – the game adjusts players’ heights automatically. We don’t want anyone to feel disadvantaged or left behind.</p>
<p class="">Unlike many other sports and online games, C-Smash VRS is designed to make you feel good, even when you “lose”.</p>
<p class="">The great Ken Ishii (Rez Infinite) and Danalogue (front man of The Comet is Coming and Soccer 96) have each written a great soundtrack with dynamic, totally transportive tracks for the game. Never have sport and music felt so good together.</p>
<p class="">In an ideal world, you’ll never realize you’ve just had the best workout – alone or with a friend – because it feels so much like a night out. In space.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s coming?</h2>
<p class="">The demo is a small glimpse at our game, which will have an epic Journey mode, a sweat and joy inducing Infinity mode, and a variety of Co-Op and Versus modes.</p>
<p class="">We also have more features mapped for the full title, including a 3D audio soundscape and fully using adaptive triggers.</p>
<p class="">We can’t wait for you to see you in the demo – and look forward to taking you to new dimensions when the full game releases on June 23 2023.</p>
