Musicians releasing their own video games isn’t new. Heck, in the past we’ve seen bands like Linkin Park release their own mobile game, and earlier this year Iron Maiden announced plans for their own game as well, which is why it really isn’t surprising to learn that Deadmau5 will also be releasing a video game in collaboration with Absolut Labs.

However this won’t be your standard video game. Instead it will be a virtual reality video game and to top it off, Deadmau5 will also be releasing a limited edition VR headset which is essentially what appears to be the Google Cardboard, except with the Deadmau5 logo emblazoned on the front of it.

So what is this game about? For those who have always aspired to be a DJ, this is your chance to live out that fantasy. Basically the game will take you through the life of Deadmau5 himself. You will get to play with his cat, go around the city trying to get gigs, and the game will ultimately conclude with gamers playing a “live” set in front of thousands of fans where it will also serve as an opportunity to promote Deadmau5’s latest songs.

Gamers interested in pre-ordering the game and the limited edition VR headset can do so here where it will be priced at $17.95, with a release scheduled for the 27th of July.
