Breachers Review (PS5 / PSVR2) | Push Square
05.01.2024 - 01:02 / pushsquare.com / Rainbow VI (Vi)
Released on Meta Quest VR in April 2023 to widespread acclaim, Breachers is a Rainbow Six Siege-style 5v5 tactical shooter that's now available on PSVR2. You and four teammates assume the role of either 'Enforcers' or 'Revolters'; the former team is tasked with infiltrating the location and disarming bombs, while the latter must strive to prevent this happening.
Each side has its own unique arsenal; Enforcers have items such as drones, cloaking devices, and flashbangs, while Revolters can deploy door blockers, trip mines, and proximity sensors to keep enemies at bay. In addition, you can customise your weapon loadout to suit your personal play-style, making use of elements such as larger capacity magazines and laser sights.
The many traps, abilities, and weapons available create a versatile experience, allowing for many tactical manoeuvres and countless ways for both sides to win. Of particular note is the game's realistic gunplay, which is complemented by a manual reload system — something which makes the intense combat even more suspenseful.
The multiple maps vary significantly, ensuring things remain fresh and exciting, even after hours of play, while the two play modes — 'Disarm the Bomb' and 'Control Point' (which is basically a team-based deathmatch) — further extend longevity. With the recent addition of the 'Arctic' map, PSVR2 players benefit from even more content at launch.
As mentioned, Breachers is also available on other systems, including Meta Quest 2 and PICO 4. While the core gameplay remains intact, the PSVR2 version offers a few improvements and upgrades which make it well worth a look, even if you've already played it elsewhere.
For example, it utilises the PSVR2's haptic triggers for more immersive control, while the enhanced visuals are a step up from previous versions. Crossplay is included, meaning you can play with friends on any platform – and retain your squads, should you already have a bunch of fellow players elsewhere. Finally, PSVR2 players benefit from Trophies to unlock.
The only fly in the ointment is the presence of in-app purchases in a game that costs $30, but these are purely for cosmetics and don't give you an unfair advantage over those who don't want to pay.
With engaging tactics, deep customisation, and addictive team-based gameplay, Breachers is one of the best shooters yet available for PSVR2.
Nice to see some more good games come to VR
May pick this up ..although I can't say I much liked other multiplayer vr shooters I've tried
Why do VR games have floating hands?
Don’t underestimate the haptics and trigger effects. In VR it makes a far bigger difference than it does on a normal dualsense controller.
Had it since day one on Quest. Fantastic game. Easily the

They might be less thrilled to discover there's nothing to suggest it's coming to PS5 outside of being a Horizon game, expected to launch on PC and mobile in 2025 at the earliest.

Disney May Have Accidentally Outed Star Wars Outlaws' PS5 Release Window | Push Square
We already knew that Ubisoft was plotting a 2024 launch for its open world sci-fi shooter Star Wars Outlaws, but a since-edited post on a Disney Parks blog may have nailed down more precisely when we can expect to visit a galaxy far, far away. Multiple outlets, including IGN, noticed the original blurb referenced a “late this year” release window for the title – but that line’s since been edited to a more neutral “in 2024”.
