Velocity Ultra shoots to PC next week

Indie success dated, priced.

The PC version of arcade shooter Velocity Ultra will arrive on Steam next Thursday, 12th December, priced £6.99/€8.99/$9.99.

Developer by British studio Futurlab, Velocity originally launched as a PS mini for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable.

It was remade in HD this year for launch on PlayStation Vita and titled Velocity Ultra. It's this version that will launch on PC, courtesy of Curve Studios, now running at a smooth 60fps.

"Velocity looks like a blast from the past and plays like anything but; it's some sort of triumph of substance over style," Rich Stanton wrote in Eurogamer's Velocity review.
