The game received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.^[9]

Gabriel Moss from IGN felt that the game "simultaneously feels like two steps forward and two steps backward", praising its gunplay and its emphasis on teamwork and tactics, while criticizing its nauseating controls and lack of content. He summarized his review by saying that Firewall Ultra was "a decent competitive multiplayer shooter that just happens to be in VR, but its awkward controls are a shot in the foot rather than the shot in the arm that the PlayStation VR2 desperately needed".^[10] Aaron Bayne from Push Square wrote that the game was a "an infrequently fun yet persistently disappointing first-party title that really forgets what makes VR so special in the first place". While he praised the game's visual and lighting systems, he criticized its lack of physical interactivity and motion controls for breaking players' immersion, ultimately describing the game as "a VR game made for people that don’t play VR".^[11]
