Camouflaj, the studio behind PlayStation VR exclusive Marvel’s Iron Man VR, had initially intended for its high-flying super hero adventure to arrive on PSVR February 28th, 2020. The studio had subsequently delayed to May 15th, however now Sony says the delay will be until further notice due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Update (April 2nd, 2020): Sony today released news that Iron Man VR and The Last of Us Part II will be delayed “until further notice,” as the publisher says the global coronavirus pandemic is preventing the company from “providing the launch experience our players deserve,”
The Last of Us II was slated to release on May 29th, 2020, while Iron Man VR was headed to PSVR users on May 15th.
Update (January 20th, 2020): Camouflaj recently tweeted that Iron Man VR will arrive on May 15th on PSVR. Here’s the studio’s full statement below:
‘In order to deliver on our vision and meet the high expectations of our amazing community, we’ve made the difficult decision to move Marvel’s Iron Man VR to a May 15, 2020 release. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding. You’ll be hearing from us again soon!”

Because of Ghost, our complex and fascinating hero must reconcile his troubled past, both on and off the battlefield…”
We’re sure to see more of Iron Man VR in the weeks leading up to its February release, although from our hands-on this summer, it’s clear there’s some serious potential for it to become an excellent VR game. Road to VR’s Ben Lang says it’s thanks to the game’s innovative flying mechanics that do a pretty remarkable job of making you feel like you’ve stepped into the iconic hero’s super suit.
