Farpoint is a first-person shooter and adventure game developed by Impulse Gear, released in 2017 exclusively for PlayStation VR. Set in a hostile extraterrestrial environment, the game follows a mission gone wrong when an anomaly near Jupiter tears open and strands a crew on an uncharted alien world. Players navigate this dangerous planet, contending with threatening creatures and harsh surroundings while working to survive and locate the scientists who were the original focus of the mission. The PlayStation VR format places the player directly within the alien environment, making the isolation and danger of the unknown world a central part of the experience. Farpoint represents one of the more prominent early attempts at delivering a full-length, combat-driven shooter within the PlayStation VR ecosystem.
