PlayStation VR2is finallyhere, at long last. But what can you actually play on Sony’s new headset?
With a launch lineup about 30 games deep, PSVR2 has a lot to offer on day one. However, there’s a big caveat to that: Almost all of the launch games are also available on Meta Quest or other PC-centric VR headsets. There’s very little that’s both new and exclusive here.
SEE ALSO:PlayStation VR2 is a killer headset in need of a killer appThat said, PSVR2 might be your first foray into the virtual world. If that’s the case, here are a bunch of games you should really consider trying with your shiny new headset.
No Man’s Sky
![No Man's Sky ship cockpit](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/02pMlKLMhoDyRyXQu0sbgB3/images-1.fill.size_2000x1125.v1677185231.jpg)
Price: $60 (but constantly on sale)
Remember No Man’s Sky? Originally released in 2016, this survival game lets you explore a nearly infinite galaxy filled with nearly infinite, randomly generated planets to discover, explore, and mine for resources. You can start a science base, do some gardening, or even control a vast fleet of starships.
The PS5 version of No Man’s Skygot a patch this week enabling VR support and it’s a real doozy. The controls take a few minutes to grasp, but eventually you’ll be zipping around with a jetpack and mining carbon with little effort. Just don’t go too high in the jetpack if you have a fear of heights.
Most importantly, flying ships is cool as hell in No Man’s SkyVR. One hand manually controls the throttle while another manually controls the flight stick. You can easilygive yourself motion sickness by doing barrel rolls, so try to avoid that, if possible.
Runner

Price: $15
If you want to feel very cool in VR without spending a lot of money, there are worse ways to do it than by playing Runner.
Set in a neon-lit future dystopia with an aesthetic that leans heavily on 1980s and 90s anime, Runneris basically a game about driving the motorcycle from Akirareally fast. You’ll speed down urban highways while shooting at police robots and vehicles with a variety of upgradeable weapons. It’s simple enough to understand, but the difficulty is no joke.
Sure, dying sucks, but it’s worth it for the thrill shooting the explosive cores of police motorcycles while going 150mph. Runneris rad. You should play it.
Tetris Effect Connected

Price: $40
Tetris Effect might be the coolest game ever made. Imagine Tetrisbut with psychedelic visuals and songs where some guy raps about how we need to heal our divisions. Now imagine that in VR.
This isn’t Tetris Effect’s first go-round in VR, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth experiencing. I found myself becoming hyper-focused on the action in VR, leading to more skillful play than I usually exhibit when playing Tetris. Plus, the visuals and music are so, sogood that you can’t help but be drawn into the proceedings.
Hot tip from me to you: Cannabisdoesn’t hurt the experience, either.
Rez Infinite

Price: $30
The only reason I couldn’t definitively declare Tetris Effectthe coolest game ever made is that Rez Infiniteexists.
This one goes all the way back to the Sega Dreamcast and PS2. Rezis a sort of 3D rail-shooter (think Star Foxor Panzer Dragoon) set inside cyberspace where your shots sync up and even create the music in every level. It looks and sounds incredible anywhere, but in VR, it’s astounding.
Rez Infinitewas also a PSVR1 standout, so it’s not new, but it is worth playing. The PSVR2 version adds the ability to aim with your eyes, which is trippy and pretty damn cool. Just play Rezif you haven’t.
Horizon: Call of the Mountain

Price: $60
Horizon: Call of the Mountaindistinguishes itself from the rest of this list in a couple of major ways. First, it’s a full-priced game. Second, it’s a brand new, PSVR2-exclusive title from Sony, the only one of its kind available at launch.
From playing the first couple of hours, I can say that people who want maximum spectacle out of their PSVR2 headset will be pleased with Call of the Mountain. The massive robot dinosaurs of the Horizonuniverse become much larger and more imposing in VR. On top of that, this game uses the power of the PS5 to create easilythe best-looking PSVR2 game I’ve seen.
It also happens to be a fairly fully featured game. You’ll do a ton of climbing up mountains (don’t look down, trust me), which can actually be pretty tiring for your arms. There’s also a robust combat system that demands a certain level of archery skill out of you. Not only do you need to aim precisely at specific enemy parts, but you need to do so while dodging their attacks.
It’s pretty fun and challenging, and Horizonfans will dig it. I’d call this perhaps the biggest standout in the PSVR2 launch lineup.
Kayak VR: Mirage

Kayak VR: Miragewas the first PSVR2 game I played and it really couldn’t be simpler to explain.
It’s just a kayaking game. You’ll move your arms like you would in an actual kayak, and the physics feel pretty realistic. You can kayak around in a training pool or in real-life locations like Antarctica. The visuals are gorgeous, the vibes are serene, and it’s just a pleasant way to spend 15 to 20 minutes.
Resident Evil: Village
Price: $40
You can take everything I just said about Kayak VR: Mirageand say the exact opposite about Resident Evil: Village. These vibes are anything but serene, and I wouldn’t call anything about the experience “pleasant.”
The visuals are still great, though.
But seriously, this is exactly what you think it is. If you played RE: Villagewhen it came out in 2021, you can play it again in VR. If you didn’t, well, get ready for a gory, bizarre trip through the European countryside. The VR elements here are very well thought out, with manual gun reloading (and shotgun pumping), tons of different movement options, and even some cutscenes being re-framed for a full 3D display.
And yes, the tall lady looks verytall.
Thumper
![Thumper screenshot](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/02pMlKLMhoDyRyXQu0sbgB3/images-7.fill.size_2000x1125.v1677185232.jpg)
Price: $20
Thumperoriginally launched in 2016 and stole the hearts of rhythm game fans (and drummers) everywhere. It’s got freaky, abstract visuals and a soundtrack that’s bassy, percussive, and only barely registers as “music” sometimes.
This PSVR2 version of Thumperdoesn’t radically change the gameplay. It’s just Thumperin VR. The sense of speed is awesome, as is being fully immersed in Thumper’s vaguely sinister rhythm highways. What more do you need?
Other games to try
I am but one person and didn’t have time to try every single game in the PSVR2 launch lineup. However, here are a few that seemed worth checking out based on some quick trial runs:
Demeo: A turn-based tactics game with a tabletop-in-your-parents’-basement setting. You can zoom way in on the proceedings to actually feel like you’re in a dungeon, or watch from the comfort of said basement.
Song in the Smoke: A survival game with a heavy emphasis on smashing objects against other objects to create new objects. It’s got a pretty dream-like art style, and the first entity you meet in the game is a freaky three-headed crow.
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge Enhanced Edition: This is just a souped up version of a game we liked a lotwhen it came out on Quest a few years back. If you dig Star Wars, this is a no-brainer.
Many of these games will be old hat to longtime VR vets, but for first-timers, PSVR2 has a lot to offer. Now seriously, go play Rezand Tetris Effect. You can thank me later.
