History
editIn January 2019 Slightly Mad Studios announced the Mad Box as a VR oriented console.[1] Many journalists were initially skeptical of the future of the console.[2]
A trademark dispute occurred in April, 2019.[3]
By late 2019 the console was cancelled,[4] with some speculating that the acquisition of Slightly Mad Studios by Codemasters played a role in the decision.[5]
Technology
editThe console was to operate at 120 frames per second.[6]
A game engine with multisystem export including to the Mad Box was said to have been in development.[2]
