2K Games hat zur Wii-Ära auch einige Party-Spiele produziert. Allen voran gab es da die Carnival Games-Reihe des Entwicklers Cat Daddy Games, bei der man Kirmes-Spiele am Fernseher nachspielen konnte.

Seit einigen Jahren lag die Reihe nun brach aber mit dem Aufkommen der Virtual Reality-Headsets hat 2K Games das Franchise wieder von den Toten auferstehen lassen. In Carnival Games VR wird man insgesamt zwölf Kirmes-Spiele per VR nachspielen können. Dazu wird man auch durch den Park gehen können, mit den Ausstellern interagieren und die gewonnenen Tickets für Gegenstände einlösen, mit denen man dann interagieren sowie sich diese in einem 3D-Raum anschauen kann. 

Erscheinen soll der ganze Spaß in ausschließlich digitaler Form am 28. Oktober für die PlayStation VR sowie HTC Vive zu einem Preis von 20 Euro. Eine Oculus Rift-Version wird noch nachgeliefert. Im Folgenden findet ihr die offiziellen Details von 2K Games zu Carnival Games VR.
