PARIS - JUNE 9, 2016 – Microids today announced that its upcoming motorbike racing game, Moto Racer 4, will be compatible with the PlayStation® VR virtual reality headset from Sony, allowing PlayStation racers to take to road and dirt tracks in immersive virtual reality. In a first teaser video, the game can be seen in action, showing the game’s stunning graphical quality using Unreal Engine 4 with single and multiplayer racing modes on both road and dirt tracks. The return of the cult arcade motorbike racing series that has sold over seven million units worldwide is set for October 13, 2016, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Mac.

Developed by Microids and Artefacts Studio under the supervision of original creator Paul Cuisset, Moto Racer 4 revives the winning formula that made the original trilogy so successful.
