Pistol Whip (PS4): offline play, space, patches and trophies

Overview

Pistol Whip is a 2019 virtual reality video game developed and published by Cloudhead Games. The game is a stage based shooter where the player automatically moves through the level and has to defeat enemies to the music. The game was released for Oculus Quest and Microsoft Windows on November 7, 2019. A PlayStation 4 port released in July 2020. Since February 2023, it is also supported on the PlayStation 5.

Each song is a movie poster in the hub. Players pick modifiers such as dual-wielding or smaller magazines, which raise or lower the score, and each difficulty has its own leaderboard. In a stage the player moves forward on their own, dodging bullets and obstacles, shooting enemies on the beat and pistol-whipping them to win back health or reload.
