Final Fantasy XV VR Experience is an upcoming downloadable content (DLC) virtual reality minigame for the 2016 video game Final Fantasy XV. Developed by Square Enix, it is based around the fictional characters and setting of Final Fantasy XV, but plays as a shooter rather than an open world role-playing video game like the base game. It is currently scheduled to be released for the PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy XV, with it requiring the use of the platform's PlayStation VR peripheral.
In the game, the player controls the character Prompto in Final Fantasy XV's fictional world of Eos from the first person perspective. Contrary to the source material, which plays as an open world role-playing video game, the VR Experience is mostly based around teleporting around a few preset locations in an area, and having the player shoot at computer-controlled opponents while assisting computer controlled teammates Gladiolus, Ignis, and Noctis. Aiming is done through the motion control input of a Playstation Move controller. Characters receive damage in the form of lost hit points, with the object of the game being to have the opponent lose all of their health before Prompto. Upon winning the battle, the player is shown a non-interactive scene through the eyes of Prompto riding in the car of game's mechanic Cindy.
