Developer Slightly Mad Studious' upcoming racing game/simulator, Project Cars will be one of the first titles available for Sony's new Project Morpheus virtual reality headset.

"We're proud to announce today that Project Cars will be supporting Project Morpheus, giving players a totally fresh and exhilarating new perspective on what it feels like to sit in the cockpit of a high-performance machine screaming around a beautiful location," said the developer.

"Virtual reality is a perfect fit for racing games since the game world literally comes rushing towards you from the distance and the increased sense of depth and speed that stereoscopic vision affords you makes this incredibly real and tangible. So when you're racing you get a much better perception of distances and position and you feel far more enveloped by that world rather than just looking through a window at it."

Players will be able to look around the cockpit and see everything from a first-person perspective but also using head-tracking from the PlayStation 4's camera you can move around the cockpit. Lean in for a detailed look at a control or meter or turn around and look out the back window.

Sony announced the secret virtual reality headset last week during this year's Game Developers Conference. Project Cars will launch on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox One and Wii U in November.
