Seattle, WA – June 1, 2016 – Pool Nation VR, the ultimate billiards experience infused with virtual reality,has officially launched today on Steam for the HTC Vive. Developers Cherry Pop Games and Perilous Orbit have fused the original Pool Nation style and physics with the HTC Vive technology, the state-of-the-art virtual reality system, utilizing its full video, audio, and precise motion tracking to deliver a truly realistic, interactive 3D pool hall.
Built exclusively for the HTC Vive, Pool Nation VR lets players enter a lifelike billiard room to play variants of traditional pool against both AI bots and online humans (with built in voice chat to talk smack!). Start a game, teleport around the pool table, line up your shot and go! Need a break between games? Walk around your virtual game space then pick up and throw darts, smash beer bottles and then lounge around a virtual pool hall chatting up the virtual bartender.
