The Vanishing of Ethan Carter VR to be Delisted from Steam on May 31st

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter’s VR version will be unavailable to purchase on Steam from May 31st onwards. Developer The Astronauts said that it arrived at this decision since it can’t continue supporting the VR version. While those who purchased it can still play, it’s not guaranteed to work well on newer headsets and operating systems.

Based on the 2014 first-person horror title, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter VR supports Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. It offers two settings – Normal for full movement and Comfort for a less strenuous time. Since its launch, the VR version has received 167 user reviews on Steam, with 56 percent positive, resulting in a “Mixed” rating.

The Astronauts are working on Witchfire, a dark fantasy rogue-lite first-person shooter in early access for PC on the Epic Games Store. The Ghost Galleon patch revamped several systems, and the developer is working on two new maps while revamping the difficulty. The first will be small next to the existing locations (and arrives in the next patch), while the second is large to a “mind-blowing” degree. Stay tuned for further details in the coming weeks.
