The best PSVR2 games

Horizon Call of the Mountain is the PSVR2’s big launch title and the first spin-off for Sony’s Horizon series. This VR title is more of a Horizon-themed amusement park ride than a standalone Horizon adventure, but it’s still a very impressive new look into the series’ techno-dystopia and is a visual masterpiece.

We loved Gran Turismo 7 when it launched in 2022, and racing fans will love the additional subversiveness that comes with the VR version. Take a turn too wide and scrape against the wall? You’re going to feel those vibrations through the headset.

No Man’s Sky VR is an immersive experience that takes players on a journey through an endless universe of procedurally generated planets, creatures, and space anomalies. This game is a great example of the possibilities of VR, allowing players to feel like they are actually exploring the vastness of space. The game’s mechanics, such as flying spacecraft and discovering new worlds, will take some getting used to in VR form, but it’s totally worth it.

A kayaking simulator might not have been at the top of your to-play list on your new $550 Vr headset, but we’re here to tell you that it needs to be. It’s a surprisingly robust showcase of what the PSVR2 is capable of, both in terms of visuals and its controls. Part fitness game, part National Geographic documentary, this title is a worthwhile VR experience despite it not being a typical game subject.

What the Bat? isn’t the most impressive VR experience, but it brings a comical and whimsical experience to the PSVR2 that you just won’t find with other titles. With baseball bats for hands, players must attempt to hit home runs, herd sheep, and work as museum security, among other simple but wacky tasks. 

Demeo is a VR gem that brings the tactile experience of table-top RPG gaming to virtual reality. With its turn-based mechanics and co-op capabilities, it’s an immersive and strategic adventure for up to four players.

Ragnarock is a rhythm game that has players riding on the back of a Viking longship and drumming along to a killer metal soundtrack to keep the crew paddling. This is the best game outright that pushes the limits of the PSVR2’s audio capabilities.
