If you have a PlayStation 5, the new PSVR 2 is a ticket to VR experiences that feel a significant step above what Sony’s original PSVR offered. It’s expensive, though, and it doesn’t include any free games (unless you bought the $600 Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle).
Sony already has dozens of VR games on tap for the PSVR 2, but here’s a short list of the best ones you should get at launch to make the most of your experience. These are all games we’ve actually played: we’ll update this list as we get more games in-hand.
One problem with PSVR 2 games is that some of them are as expensive as regular console games. Odds are you won’t buy that many, unless you have free or lower-cost upgrades to games you already own. Some (Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil Village and No Man’s Sky) are free VR add-on modes to the existing PS5 games, and they’re all must-haves.
