If you’ve ever felt like regular old bartending was too bland, Startenders might be the game for you. In Startenders, players can take the role of a spacefaring bartender and craft fancy drinks using VR. Foggy Box Games announced that the game will launch for the PS VR on PS4 and PS5, along with the Meta Quest, in March. Once it releases, the game will cost $14.99/£11.99/€14.99 on the PlayStation Store.
When is the release date for Startenders on PS VR?
Startenders will release for the PS VR on March 17, 2022. The game takes place on an intergalactic starship, and the player must serve a variety of drinks to their spacefaring guests. In fact, there are 100 different recipes to choose from (or rather, for the patrons to choose from). In order to satisfy their customers, players have 32 ingredients, 13 garnishes, 12 machines, and 3 types of cups at their disposal.
It’s not as easy as putting a few ingredients together, however. Each level or “shift” is procedurally generated, meaning players will have an entirely different experience each time they play. This can change anything from the recipes you need to make, to the customers and locations you’ll be in. Each ingredient will also have different behaviors and ways of preparation. If everything is too easy, players can also choose to be as flashy with their prep as they like.
There’s even a story mode, as well as a daily shift and leaderboard that is shared across all players for a more competitive experience. Additionally, players can also visit the habitat and upgrade their cocktail machines, order new ingredients, and do repairs in between shifts.
