I think this is pretty amazing news. And may be the first VR game to accomplish this (other than maybe Elite Dangerous?)

With the latest update, not only does EV allow all VR consumers to play together (Rift, Vive, PSVR), but also anyone else who owns the game - even people without a VR headset. VR vs Non-VR gamers.

Now we are thrilled to announce Warzone, a major expansion to EVE:
Valkyrie arrives September 26. Warzone is free to existing pilots, and
it invites PC and PlayStation®4 gamers to the world of the Valkyrie
without the need for a VR headset. Now all pilots can fly and fight
together, on all supported platforms (PC, PlayStation®, PlayStation®VR,
Oculus Rift, HTC Vive®), in fully balanced online first-person spaceship
shooter combat.

The Warzone expansion also brings:



  • • NEW next-generation fleet of ships, each with unique weapons and Ultra abilities



  • • NEW modular progression system, giving you more control over how you evolve your ships



  • • NEW maps: ‘Fleet’, a Sisters of EVE space station, and ‘Outpost’, a mysterious Drifter base



  • • NEW game mode: ‘Extraction’, which mixes combat and navigational
    challenges, forcing pilots to use the environment to their advantage



  • • NEW reward system: Earn Reward Capsules to unlock a hangar full of personalization options

Yeah ED does allow flat screen and vr together.
But it doesnt allow psvr players, so on that front its a first.
Maybe a version to come now for the XBO to expand it further!
This is my forum signature.
There are many others like it, but this is mine.

War Thunder also lets you play in VR or on the screen in same match. 

I'm curious if oculus version will let you also play on the screen or if devs will let you activate the game on steam?

I always wondered why they made it a VR exclusive. No real reason it ever should have been. In any case, tons of games are already setup that way. I think this might be the first VR exclusive to cease being exclusive, but there are plenty of 2d monitor games that either added VR support or always had it in addition to their normal 2d mode. I don't know of any game that separates players in based on VR usage.

Yea pretty much all the flight sims allow this, Aces High, Xplane, DCS, Il-2 etc. Same with Driving Games.
