The beloved duo of Wallace & Gromit have arrived on PlayStation VR2 with their latest virtual reality adventure, The Grand Getaway. This charming experience brings the iconic characters into an immersive world where their well-intentioned holiday plans spiral into delightful chaos. Joining them on this unpredictable journey are a golf-themed Robo Caddy and an AI assistant named Beryl, adding fresh dynamics to the classic formula.
Developed through a collaboration between Aardman, No Ghost, Albyon, and Atlas V, this title first appeared on the Quest platform nearly two years ago. Its transition to PS VR2 became public knowledge back in April when a store listing surfaced, confirming fan speculation about the port. While the core adventure remains intact, this version does not include the mixed reality Jamtastic! mode available on Quest. That particular segment featured Wallace testing his eccentric jam-to-toast delivery system in a wave shooter format, an omission that may disappoint some returning players.
Publisher Astrea has not provided any timeline for when PC VR users can expect their version. The Steam store page continues to list the game with a vague “coming soon” status, leaving that audience waiting for further announcements.
Our initial review found The Grand Getaway successfully captures the spirit of Aardman’s classic films within the VR medium. The game excels at translating the duo’s unique charm and humor into an interactive format that feels authentic to their cinematic adventures. However, the experience does show some limitations in its replay value and occasional technical inconsistencies throughout the campaign. The Jamtastic! mode specifically received criticism for not adding substantial lasting appeal.
Wallace & Gromit in The Grand Getaway is currently available through the Meta Quest platform and now on PlayStation VR2. Steam VR enthusiasts will need to remain patient as a concrete release date has yet to be confirmed for that version.
