After listening to player's complaints, publisher DeerVR announced that the dynamic vision mask Code 51: Mech Arena can be removed in the update.

This past week, Code 51: Mech Arena was released for PlayStation VR. While players were having fun battling mechs in a wasteland, many were complaining about not being able to disable the dynamic vision mask that was originally implemented to prevent motion sickness. Many complaints called the mask “blinders” and claimed that it severely blocked their peripheral vision during gameplay.

In response to these complaints, publisher DeerVR tweeted on Friday that an update is now available that will allow players to disable the mask when they hold the left thumbstick. DeerVR received thanks from players for the speedy update, and several YouTubers posted gameplay videos highlighting how much of an improvement it was:
