Extreme is such a massive challenge that we reward those mighty enough to beat it with three new tank loadouts — though you’ll have to beat it three times total to earn each loadout! They are 100% worth it for advanced players who want a complete four-player team of tanks…

What's new since PSVR launch

New Difficulties, New Challenges
- Battlezone now features a more lenient Beginner level and, for the experts, a gruelling Extreme level.

More Missions, New Environments

Go Retro with Classic Mode
- Separate to the main campaign, this mode answers a simple question: what would the original 1980 arcade Battlezone look like in VR? The answer is stunning green wireframe visuals, optional retro controls, online leaderboards, and generally a whole lot of awesome!
Exclusive to PC – better graphics!
- The new PC version of Battlezone is optimized for Oculus and HTC Vive, offering new features such as ultra-high resolution textures, customisable super-sampling and higher resolution shadow maps.
