'Star Wars: Battlefront' News & Updates: Rogue One X-Wing Mission Is Playable With Discounted PlayStation VR!

Virtual reality gaming is here! It first started with the Oculus Rift, and now all the top video game manufacturers are getting in on the action—Sony, especially, with the advent of the PlayStation VR. There will be a lot of games offering VR support for the experience, including "Star Wars: Battlefront" new aptly-named expansion mission, "Rogue One X-Wing" VR Mission.

The good news is more "Star Wars: Battlefront" players on PlayStation 4 will be able to experience the VR mission, as the PlayStation VR headset has now gone on sale last week, reports the Mirror. It's on sale for £349 in U.K., while it will sell for $399 in the U.S. It's also cheaper than Sony's competitors, as the company has slashed prices in time for the holiday shopping season.

The Rogue One VR mission for "Star Wars: Battlefront" is described as supplementary content to the base game. The players who own the game and the new PlayStation VR headset will be automatically eligible to download the DLC for free once it drops. As the title of the expansion implies, the mission involves a Rebellion engagement where the player pilots an X-Wing spacecraft going up against a gigantic Star Destroyer ship full of Imperial TIE Fighters.

While the Rogue One VR mission doesn't explicitly tie-in to the upcoming movie "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," it has a connection as "Star Wars: Battlefront" is set around in the same period. The expansion's developer, Criterion Games, has been collaborating closely with LucasFilm to provide an authentic "Star Wars" experience, according to an interview for EA's official website.

The Rogue One VR mission releases for "Star Wars: Battlefront" in December this year, around the same time "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" opens in theaters. As mentioned, anyone with the game and a PlayStation VR will be able to download and play it for free.
