Contractors Showdown, the VR battle royale game with a more realistic focus, launches its Season 1 update today.
Released in April, Contractors Showdown now receives a rather large content update that adds vehicles for faster chase sequences, and probably to run other players over. New weapons include the RPG - Rocket Launcher, there's two new characters with unique skills, a deployable recon drone, a compass to make it easier to find your way around the map, a new Airport map, and larger battlefields.

Overall, it's a long list of new things for Contractors Showdown players, one that means the 60-player battle royale game should offer a wider variety of experiences than before.</p><p>Presently, the other major VR battle royale game is <a href="https://www.uploadvr.com/population-one-review-vr/" rel="noreferrer">Population: One</a>, which has gone free-to-play since its launch and introduced the <a href="https://www.uploadvr.com/population-one-phoenix-rising/" rel="noreferrer">Phoenix Royale</a> mode in May. It will be interesting to see if this new update helps the game compete a bit more with the more established title, especially when Contractors Showdown isn't free.</p><p>Contractors Showdown is available now for $19.99 on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2719160/Contractors_Showdown/?ref=uploadvr.com" rel="noopener">Steam</a> and <a href="https://www.meta.com/en-gb/experiences/4963431797114722/?ref=uploadvr.com" rel="noopener">Quest</a>.
