    Thumper, the trippy rhythm game with a pulsing electronic soundtrack (no, the other one) was one of the surprise hits of PlayStation VR's launch. And now it's headed elsewhere. That's right, folks with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift headsets will be able to find the title in their store of choice now. The recently released update on Steam adds "basic support" for Oculus Touch and Vive wands as well. With what I've played of the game on PSVR though, I'm not sure how motion control is going to improve the experience -- a gamepad is a perfect fit as it is. But hey, Thumper in more places is hard to complain about.
