So let’s dive right in!
Best Games for PSVR 2
These are the games we’re looking forward to the most, not least of all because they’ll give us a fresh experience on games that we’re already familiar with!
Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
We’ve got some fun stuff to look forward to here, starting with the first game that was officially announced for PSVR 2, Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
This is a spin-off from the terrifically popular Horizon series of PlayStation exclusive games, where you play as Aloy, a tribal outcast who slowly figures out the history of her people, and those who came before.
However, you won’t be playing as Aloy here, though you might encounter her as you cut around the continent in immersive virtual reality goodness. We’ve now seen some additional game replay at CES 2023, and both Aloy and the scenery look impressively vivid, which makes us even more excited for the PSVR 2’s arrival.
There’s also going to be a Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle available at the launch.
No Man’s Sky
This game already exists, and most of you will have heard of it due to its awful response at lunch for being unfinished. However, it was very well received when it got a VR update for the original PSVR.
This means we consider it a given that it’s received an update to support the PSVR 2. And, as it was last time, we can expect the update to be free. It seems like Hello Games is still paying industry reparations.
Gran Turismo 7 VR
We weren’t expecting this one, but it does make sense. After all, simulators are supposed to be immersive and realistic, and VR can only help improve those two traits.
It’ll make driving from a first-person perspective particularly intense too. Also, the cynics among us think it might be getting a VR update to help improve its less-than-stellar reputation.
Resident Evil 8 VR
This could be a very good one. It would take an already-scary game and dial it up to 11 with the added immersion that you get from VR.
It was well-received when it first hit the shelves back in 2021 and allowed players to once again take the role of Ethan, directly following on from Resident Evil 7.
This time, we’ll be getting full motion controls, in addition to the VR point of view, so we’re expecting good things.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2
The walking dead games have always been a hit, both in sales numbers and in terms of critical reception. And the original Saints & Sinners was also very well received.
So it came as no surprise when the sequel was announced, and it will also be released on the PSVR 2 sometime in 2023. So, if you need some added immersion when slapping down hordes of the undead, this could be a must-buy for the PSVR 2.
Half-Life: Alyx
This could be a very big deal, not only is Half-Life: Alyx one of the best VR games we’ve seen, but it’s also currently only available on PC. It would seem that there is hope too.
This tweet comes from @Shpeshal_Nick on Twitter. This alone gives us a little bump of hope as he’s been known for reliability and accuracy in terms of leaks for years now. Definitely, one to keep an eye out for.
Star Wars: Tales From The Galaxy’s Edge
That’s right, the beloved Star Wars VR title will be getting an enhanced version on PSVR 2. This marks the game’s first foray onto consoles too, meaning the potential market is huge. We’ve actually played some of this, and while it didn’t scratch our lightsaber itch, it was a fun and inarguably immersive romp in a galaxy far far away.
PSVR 2 launch titles: A full list
Obviously, we can’t write a blurb for every game that’s coming to the PSVR 2. This is a good thing, however, as it means that there are a lot of games to play on yer shiny new headset. In fact, there are over 40 games available! at least, according to a recent blog post by PlayStation itself.
