FlatOut 4: Total Insanity VR Leaves Early Access With Version 1.0 Update
Spectators joining a race in progress can now watch from inside another participant’s car as FlatOut 4: Total Insanity VR has officially exited Steam Early Access. Developed in collaboration with Mutar—also known as NoMoreFlat—with support from Flat2VR Spark and Flat2VR Studios, the title launched its version 1.0 update on October 23, 2026, priced at $29.99 USD on SteamVR.
Update 1.0 Adds Multiplayer Features and Classic Physics
The version 1.0 update introduces passenger ride-alongs alongside redesigned lobbies and spectator functionality. While FlatOut 4’s native artificial intelligence remains the default, players can select optional classic FlatOut 2 physics and opponents through settings. The release also brings back the FlatOut 2 GT, two remastered tracks from that game, and an experimental motorcycle whose handling and balance remain under development.
To maintain ongoing sessions, AI-controlled competitors can fill empty grid positions when fewer human drivers are available, and automatic host migration transfers control if a host disconnects. An experimental multiplayer weapons setting is additionally included as an unfinished option within the full release.
Customization and Expanded Hardware Support
Vehicles can now be customized using a new in-game livery editor or an open-source desktop editor that supports layers and importing new vehicles. Through Steam Workshop integration, players can publish their own liveries and subscribe to other designs, though track-creation tools are planned for a later date.
Hardware compatibility has expanded to include bHaptics integration, motion-rig telemetry, and additional steering wheel support. The update also delivers first-person driver ejections, updated stereo mirrors, revised point-and-click menus, and performance optimizations.

PC VR Launches While PlayStation VR2 Version Develops
While the PC VR release is available now on Steam, Quest owners using a gaming PC can consult recent changes to Steam Link USB streaming, though that connection option does not make the game a standalone Quest release. Meanwhile, a PlayStation VR2 version is in development with wishlisting available on the PlayStation Store, and the development team continues to explore additional features for future updates.
