After popping up in Birmingham Glasgow and Sheffield, the tour visited at East London's event space Kachette. Aided by Circle Agency, Sony transformed the venue into a fully immersive gaming experience where guests were invited to test a range of Playstation VR titles.

Brand ambassadors were on hand to show guests the latest piece of Sony Playstation technology and also Playstation 4 Pro, was also on display before its official launch on November 10.

Claire Stokes, founder and managing director at Circle Agency, said: "If ever there was a product that suited an experiential marketing strategy at launch - this is it. Virtual Reality is a product that is extremely difficult to comprehend without the opportunity to experience it firsthand."
