PS4 players outside NA will get access as originally planned, on October 13."We wanted to surprise and reward gamers who have been waiting years for [Thumper] to come out with the chance to play a bit sooner," Thumper co-creator Marc Flury told IGN regarding the decision to release a few days ahead of schedule..Flury also says he hopes the early launch will clear up any confusion about Thumper being a VR-exclusive experience, and encourage players to try it out in its non-VR form before PlayStation VR hits shelves this Thursday."We think it's great on a traditional display too," Flury told IGN. "Each way of playing has its advantages."While Thumper launches as a PlayStation VR-compatible game , it won't receive VR support on PC until later this year.Read our review of Thumper for more details on Drool's rhythm action game.
