2K just announced NBA2KVR Experience, its first virtual reality basketball game. It’s launching tomorrow for $14.99 on PlayStation VR, the HTC Vive, and Samsung Gear VR and will also be available for Oculus Rift at a later date

“Our team consistently looks for new ways to deliver unique, fun experiences for the gamer,” Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts at 2K said in a statement. “NBA 2KVR will give fans even more access to our franchise and test new skills across entertaining VR challenges.”

Players will join NBA 2K16 cover athlete All-Star Paul George and step onto the court at the Indiana Packers’ stadium, the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. George will provide commentary and guide you with tips to help improve your skills in mini-games like a “three-point shootout, a speed and accuracy skills challenge and the buzzer beater countdown.” As your skills improve, you’ll earn a variety of fuel boosts that will aid your shooting, speed, recovery, and more to help you reach the top of leaderboards.

“As a lifelong fan of NBA 2K, it’s exciting to see them take the leap into VR, and even more exciting that it’ll be on my home court,” George said in a statement. “I can’t wait for fans to dominate on the virtual court.”

In other VR gaming news, Telltale today announced that its popular The Walking Dead-themed pinball game is coming to Zen Studios’s Pinball FX2 VR. The VR version of The Walking Dead Pinball “brings the complete experience of the beloved 2014 table into fully immersive virtual reality,” the companies said.

Already available for Oculus Rift, Pinball FX2 VR is slated to launch on the PlayStation VR in North America and the HTC Vive on Nov. 29 for $14.99. The Walking Dead table will be available for Pinball FX2 VR on all three platforms that same day for $6.99. For more, check out the trailer below.
