Pistol Whip News

Wow. Thank you all for an incredible first few weeks. Pistol Whip is officially one of the highest-rated VR games of the year! Thank you for trusting us to deliver a unique experience in VR—something familiar but different. We've been loving all the different videos and seeing all the different ways the game can be played, from tactical to musical, from shooter to rhythm.

We want to keep Pistol Whip alive; we've been cataloging feedback, chasing bugs, and starting work on our first big content update. We plan to post regular announcements to the community on our progress as we work out our roadmap.

Announced this morning, we'll be releasing our first major update on December 19, including a new scene inspired by the hallway fight in the movie "Oldboy." Check out the video we did below for the UploadVR Holiday VR Showcase.

Also included in the December 19 update are two new modifiers: No Obstacles and Shooting Gallery, expanding the accessibility of the game and offering a new way to practice scenes without the risk of being eliminated.

Beyond December, we plan to add more free scenes, modifiers, unlockables, achievements, and even an Expert difficulty. Improvements to the Deadeye modifier are also in the works.

Please continue to leave feedback in your reviews and forum posts and make sure to share the game with your friends and family over the upcoming holidays. If you love the game, you can even throw us a vote for "VR Game of the Year" in the annual Steam Awards, ongoing now!

Thanks again for all your support, and we can't wait for you to play High Priestess on December 19.

Love,
Cloudhead Games

Pistol Whip is a first-of-its-kind VR action-rhythm FPS with unprecedented player agency and a surprising level of depth. Bring your own style to the game, from tactical to musical, and become the ultimate action hero badass.

At launch we have 10 scenes based on music from our exciting launch partner, Kannibalen Records. Rather than voids, these scenes are full environments, with unique enemy engagements and fever dream locales, encouraging replayability as you find the perfect groove.

Today is the first day in a long road for Pistol Whip, as we plan additional music, scenes, modes, modifiers, and customization options to build Pistol Whip into the ultimate action-rhythm FPS.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.

This morning we released our first full-level MR gameplay video to give you an idea of what high-level Pistol Whip play feels like. You can watch the Beta playthrough below.

Pistol Whip is a shooter first, and it feels unlike anything else in VR. The default one-handed mode (note: dual wield is optional!) lets you feel tactical and precise. From there, you can choose to add rhythm to your style, making every run a unique action soundscape.

We're excited to launch November 7 with support for LIV mixed reality capture so you can create your own badass "John Whip" moments.
