Everybody's Golf Dev Skips PSVR2 for New VR Golf Game | Push Square
Everybody's Golf developer Clap Hanz will continue to broaden its horizons now it no longer has any formal partnership with Sony, as its next golf game will enter the virtual reality space, but it's only launching on Meta Quest headsets.

Such a shame. I’d love a new Everybody’s Golf game on PS5. Never mind, I guess.
I'm reasonably confident it'll be ported over eventually. But a shame. I'd love a new HS
