Bust Ghosts from the Comfort of Your Own Home With Tie-in AR Game ‘Ghostbusters: Ghost Invasion’
Ahead of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire‘s release on March 22, Sony Pictures is doing a little promotion in the form of Augmented Reality with Ghost Invasion. If you head on over here, you can get in on trapping those Mini-Pufts with your mobile device.
Admittedly, the gameplay isn’t all that much. You tap your screen to place the trap and initiate the frosty capture sequence. Along with the Mini-Pufts, you’ll be able to trap Slimer and the Hell’s Kitchen Sewer Dragon.
If you persist in your efforts and grab all of the ghosts, you do get an Easter Egg featuring Kumail Nanjiani, who stars in the film as Nadeem Razmaadi.
In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.
But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
Along with Nanjiani, the cast includes Patton Oswalt, James Acaster, and Emily Alyn Lind, alongside Bill Murray, Finn Wolfhard, Ernie Hudson, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Celeste O’Connor, Logan Kim, Annie Potts, Dan Aykroyd and Carrie Coon.
Jason Reitman, who directed Ghostbusters: Afterlife, is back to produce Frozen Empire.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
