After a series of delays--most recently alongside The Last of Us Part 2--PlayStation's Iron Man VR finally has a release date. The PSVR exclusive will now launch on July 3, and if you want to be ready for its release, you can pre-order Iron Man VR now from a number of different retailers. If you need to buy a PSVR system, a new Iron Man PSVR bundle is available now and includes everything you need to play. There's also a pre-order bonus for securing your copy early, as well as a digital special edition if you're looking to snag some extra content.

As its name suggests, Iron Man VR follows the Armored Avenger on a brand-new adventure. In this story, Tony Stark has retired from making weapons and now uses his tech to fight evil as Iron Man. Several years later, he's attacked by a villain known as Ghost, a hacker and anti-corporate activist who is now repurposing old Stark Industries weapons to attack his corporate locations around the globe. Aside from flying through the sky and facing off against Iron Man's foes in high-stakes battles, you'll also be able to upgrade Tony's tech and customize Iron Man's armor and abilities.

Now Playing: Marvel’s Iron Man VR – Official Announce Trailer

Iron Man VR is a PlayStation VR-exclusive, so you won't be able to play it on the Oculus Quest or any PC VR headset. And since you'll be playing as Tony Stark inside the Iron Man suit, you'll be moving your hands around shooting down enemies. That means you'll need the Move controllers as well as a PS4 and PlayStation VR headset.

With the different versions and overall difficulty of finding PlayStation VR in stock, we've rounded up everything you need to know about pre-ordering Iron Man VR before the Marvel hero comes to PS4 this July.

Iron Man VR pre-order bonuses

If you pre-order Iron Man VR before its July 3 release date, then you'll get yourself an Iron Man PS4 theme and four different custom armor decos. These armor decos swap the color of Iron Man's suit. The four pre-order bonus skins are Iron Man's Origin Armor, Vintage Armor, Silver Centurion Armor, and Ultraviolet Armor.

Iron Man VR's standard edition is available to pre-order both physically and digitally for $40 and comes with all pre-order bonuses if purchased before its release date.


Pre-order Iron Man VR Digital Deluxe edition | $50

No Caption Provided

Iron Man VR's special edition is its Deluxe Edition, which is available to pre-order for $50. Unfortunately, there is no physical Deluxe Edition, so if you want the Deluxe Edition's unique content, then you'll have to buy Iron Man VR digitally on the PlayStation Store.

The Digital Deluxe Edition comes with the base game, 12 research points, a digital soundtrack, PS4 theme, and four Deluxe armor decos. These special armor skins are the Golden Avenger, Black Centurion, Sun Stinger, and Stealth variations of Iron Man's suit.

Sony announced a brand-new PSVR Iron Man bundle will launch alongside the game for $350 USD / $450 CAD in the US, Canada, and many South American countries. This bundle includes everything you need to play the game, including the VR headset, a PlayStation Camera, and a pair of PlayStation Move motion controllers. With the motion controllers currently sold out everywhere but required to play the game, this bundle is a hot commodity if you're looking to buy a PSVR headset and Iron Man VR at the same time.

If this bundle sells out or you simply want to snag some different games along with your purchase, another great option is the PlayStation VR Blood & Truth and Everybody's Golf bundle for $350, which comes with two great games and everything you need for Iron Man VR. If you'd like to save some money, GameStop sells refurbished PlayStation VR headsets for $150, though you will need to pick up a pair of Move controllers separately.

Two PlayStation Move controllers are required for Iron Man VR. Unfortunately, if you own a PlayStation VR headset and don't own the controllers, you might have a hard time finding any of the Move wands in stock anywhere. With a list price of $100 for a two-pack, the Move motion controllers are sold out at many retailers, and it's unclear whether they'll be restocked by the time Iron Man VR releases. We're not currently seeing them in stock at MSRP anywhere, so your best option is to buy one of the PSVR bundles mentioned above.
