Tilt Brush, Google’s award-winning tool for creating works of art in a virtually real environment, is finally available on the PlayStation VR platform – and PS4, by extent – as of today. Google and PlayStation said this port is something fans of both companies have been clamoring for years.

They did not, however, reveal what made them finally pull the plug on the porting project right now, i.e. why haven’t they done so much sooner. Regardless, Tilt Brush is now here for everyone to download and enjoy for a one-time fee of $22.99. This is the same price attached to the PC version of the app. And in case you don’t have a PSVR setup ready to go, then a new PS Move Motion Controller Two-Pack & Tilt Brush Bundle are here to facilitate your entry point into the world of VR art.

Furthermore, if the PC platform is anything to go by, expect Tilt Brush to be regularly available on the PS Store at a discount. Apart from a PSVR headset and two PS Move motion controllers, the app also requires a PS Camera, and a PS4 console, ideally the PS4 Pro in order to function properly, though it should also be supported by the upcoming PS5.

The numerous delays of Iron Man VR led to a situation in which many gamers who pre-ordered the much-anticipated release will only get to experience it on the next generation of Sony’s gaming consoles.

Unfortunately, the PlayStation VR headset won’t work natively with the PlayStation 5 console, or better said, it will require an adapter in order to communicate with the new PlayStation Camera.

Sony has now confirmed that this inconvenience will not affect players who already made the switch or will make the switch by the time Iron Man VR is finally released. As the Iron Man VR bundled, advertised as an entry point into the world of VR entertainment, will be shipping with these adapters in the U.S. and Canada. Which makes it the first such VR bundle to be confirmed outside of Japan.

The adapter in question still doesn’t have an official price tag, but hopefully won’t end up being too pricey to acquire. As everyone just assumed PSVR will work on the PS5 without any additional investments. And Sony itself hinted at this being the case on numerous occasions before revealing otherwise.

As for Iron Man VR, the bundle in question now retails at $350 and will most likely have its price slashed even further by this year’s holiday season.

The PlayStation VR headset has been arguably the most affordable entry point into the world of virtual reality entertainment for a good few years by now. At least when it comes to somewhat high-end experiences. And hunting refurbished products has been an excellent way of shaving off a lot of money from your next gadget purchase for even longer. See where we are going with this?

Regardless, GameStop is currently offering refurbished PSVR headsets for just $99, which is the new all-time low for Sony’s VR gadget by quite a margin. The deal appears to be limited to U.S. customers (sorry, Canada) and probably won’t last for long but it does redefine our perception of what a good value price for a PSVR is. Naturally, this offer does not include the PlayStation Move motion controllers, and neither does it have the PlayStation Camera, both of which are integral to experiencing any truly interactive VR content on your PlayStation 4 (Pro) console.

For reference, a comparably capable Oculus Rift – the original one from ages past – still goes for $300-$400, even as a refurbished unit in this day and age. Furthermore, the upcoming arrival of the PS5 will not be followed by a new generation of PSVR, making the original headset a sound investment even today, four years following its original market release.
