PSVR 2 games list: every PS5 VR game announced and released so far
There are over 100 PSVR 2 games and the list keeps growing. We've rounded up every game released or announced
There are over 100 PSVR 2 games available for Sony’s PS5 headset. The VR device hit shelves with a hefty launch lineup when it was released back in February 2023, and included a few PSVR 2-exclusive titles, like Horizon Call of the Mountain, and VR updates for some of the best PS5 games, like Resident Evil Village and Gran Turismo 7.
More games have since arrived, and Sony will be keen to add as much value to its new PS5 peripheral as possible, particularly as PSVR 2 sales are off to a slow start.
The PSVR 2 price is $549 after all, setting it well above the first PSVR’s $399 launch price. Fortunately, it packs a ton of cutting-edge features and the PSVR 2 specs are a major upgrade over its predecessor.
You may be asking ‘Is PSVR 2 worth it?’ and it’s hard to give a definitive answer. VR enthusiasts will find plenty to praise about Sony’s new headset, while newcomers to virtual reality may still be put off by the medium’s many quirks like the fact PSVR 2 can make you feel sick.
Unfortunately, PSVR 2 isn’t backward compatible with PSVR games. Many had hoped it would play the older headset’s library, as it would have been a huge boost and a nice reward to early adopters who backed Sony’s first foray into virtual reality. Sadly, that’s not the case.
Here are all the biggest PSVR 2 you can play. We’ll be sure to add any new titles that make a splash in the future.
Horizon Call of the Mountain 🗻
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $59.99
Horizon Call of the Mountain is a PSVR 2 exclusive and was developed by Firesprite, a first-party developer that Sony acquired in September 2021. Matt enjoyed his hands-on time with the game, praising it for making full use of the headset’s next-gen features.
It looks like Horizon Call of the Mountain will feature many elements of Horizon Forbidden West, such as battling Machines (or robot dinosaurs), underwater traversal, and exploring a variety of locations like the frozen wastelands. ❄️
Resident Evil Village 👒
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: Free upgrade / $59.99
If you thought Resident Evil Village was scary on a flat screen, you might want to grab a spare pair of underpants before playing the PSVR 2 version. Like Resident Evil 7 before it, the haunting first-person Resident Evil Village has been given the full VR treatment, along with a few tweaks to the gameplay such as duel-wielding.
I’m really up to revisiting House Benviento in virtual reality or being chased by the towering Lady Dimitrescu (and yet, at the same time, I am). Speaking of Lady D, you can own this terrifyingly expensive statue of the Resident Evil Village character.
Gran Turismo 7 🏎️
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: Free upgrade / $69.99
Gran Turismo 7 received a free PSVR 2 upgrade, which is great news for those who are already enamored with Polyphony Digital’s racing sim. The whole game is playable, with the exception of the two-player split-screen mode, and is a shining example of just what Sony’s next-gen virtual reality headset can do. It might be enough to convince you to buy a PSVR 2 if you’re still on the fence.
Beat Saber 🎵
Release date: June 24, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
Another PSVR 2 game fans have wanted to see, Sony has confirmed that the popular rhythm game is still in development for its virtual reality headset. The game sees you wielding two lightsaber-esque wands in the direction shown on rapidly approaching blocks. The end result is a fast-paced and super fun virtual reality game that hits all the right notes.
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge – Enhanced Edition 🤖
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $49.99
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition lets you travel to a galaxy far, far away with PSVR 2. The award-winning VR experience has been rebuilt to take full advantage of the PSVR 2’s cutting-edge hardware and is a big step up from the Oculus Quest 2 version. The game includes headset-based controller tracking, eye tracking, 3D audio and haptics using the PS VR2 Sense controllers.
You’ll be joined by fan-favorite characters on your Star Wars adventure, like C-3P0, R2-D2, Jedi Master Yoda, and many more, as you play through a series of extraordinary events and become the hero of the galaxy.
No Man’s Sky 🧑🚀
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $59.99 (free for current owners of the PS5 game)
No Man’s Sky’s PSVR 2 port isn’t surprising. The game already has PSVR support and works with other reality headsets on PC. However, the power of the PS5 and the countless technical improvements of PlayStation VR2 makes it a more immersive experience.
I still haven’t played No Man’s Sky, but exploring an almost infinite galaxy full of new planets and creatures in VR does pique my interest. The game has received numerous updates since its launch, which have rectified the less-than-stellar launch No Man’s Sky had in 2016.
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners Chapter 2 🧟
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $39.99
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners received a positive reception from fans and critics alike when it was released in 2020, and Chapter 2 builds upon the first game in almost every way, offering improved visuals, more zombies to slay, and hopefully some cameos from AMC’s long-running TV show.
The game aims for a more light-hearted and fun-first take on dealing with a zombie apocalypse; hopefully chainsawing through hordes of the undead is your cup of tea.
Demeo 🎲
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $39.99
If you’re a fan of tabletop games and D&D, Demeo should be on your radar. The game initially launched on other VR platforms last year and includes cross-play support. Those who buy the non-VR version of the game get the PSVR 2 version automatically when the headset is connected.
The game supports 120Hz on PSVR 2, eye tracking, and uses the haptics in the PS VR2 Sense controllers to make it feel like you’re reaching down and picking up the actual game pieces from the board.
Resident Evil 4 😱
Release date: TBC
MSRP: $59.99
Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake will include some PSVR 2 content; however, it’s unclear exactly what this will entail. The original Resident Evil 4 is already available for VR, as the game was released on the Oculus Quest 2 in 2021. It remains to be seen whether we’ll be able to experience the entire game in VR, or whether it will have a specific VR-only mode. Here’s hoping it’s the former.
Among Us VR 🕵️
Release date: TBC
MSRP: $9.99
The social deduction game where no one can be trusted is on PSVR 2. You’ll need to determine which player is the imposter before they can kill off the crew or sabotage the ship’s critical system. The imposter will need to stop the crew from completing their tasks or duping other players into believing that someone else is the one causing havoc.
Among Us VR is bound to be a big hit and should make the threat of being topped by the imposter even more of a nerve-wracking affair. The PSVR 2 port was planned for February but has yet to release.
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord 👻
Release date: 2023
MSRP: TBC
Sony Pictures VR has confirmed that Ghostbusters VR is heading to its next-gen virtual reality headset. The announcement was made as part of Ghostbusters Day, which takes place on June 8 each year.
The Ghostbusters VR game sees players run their own ghost-busting HQ in San Francisco. You’ll be able to team up with up to three friends in co-op and tackle an extensive campaign featuring iconic equipment and plenty of mischievous ghosts.
Firmament 🧩
Release date: 2023
MSRP: TBC
Firmament was originally supposed to come to PlayStation VR, but development was later scrapped in favor of Sony’s upcoming, more powerful headset. The narrative adventure game is being developed by Cyan, the studio behind Myst, and brought in $1.43m on Kickstarter.
The game is on track to launch sometime in 2022 and will launch on PSVR 2 when the PS5 headset is released in the future.
Firewall Ultra 🛰
Release date: August 24, 2023
MSRP: $39.99
First-person shooter Firewall is making a return on PSVR 2. The first game made quite a splash for essentially translating the tactical firefights of Rainbow Six Siege into VR, and this sequel looks like it’ll only be bigger. Expect to see more gadgets, deeper customization and new playable contractors. More of everything, basically.
A new PvE multiplayer mode is also being added on top of the core PvP gameplay, although we’re still waiting to hear exactly what it will involve. Of course, Firewall Ultra will also take advantage of PSVR 2’s many technical improvements, including 4K resolutions and eye tracking that will be used to let you intuitively swap weapons on the fly. It all sounds like a step up.
Alvo 🔫
Release date: TBC
MSRP: TBC
Originally released on PSVR in 2021, multiplayer first-person shooter Alvo will eventually make its way to Sony’s new VR headset. That’s according to Upload VR, who said developer Mardonpol has confirmed to them that it’s working on a PSVR 2 port.
Alvo is a competitive FPS that pits teams of gun-toting soldiers against one another in fast-paced, arcade deathmatches. It feels similar to your typical Call of Duty game, and even received an additional co-op zombies game mode after launch. If you like frenetic twitch shooters, this should be on your bucket list.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR 👿
Release date: March 16, 2023
MSRP: $39.99
Based on The Dark Pictures Anthology, Switchback gives you an array of guns and plonks you in a roller coaster car, before sending you off kicking and screaming into a twisted world of horror. It’s a (literal) on-rails shooter overflowing with demonic monsters.
As well as using PSVR 2’s host of new features, it goes all-in on the headset’s eye tracking and 3D audio tech. Some enemies gradually move towards you each time you blink, while others will give their positions away by whispering in your ear. Scary stuff.
Crossfire: Sierra Squad 👤
Release date: 2023
MSRP: TBC
Another high-octane FPS, Crossfire: Sierra Squad puts you in the tightly laced boots of “an elite fireteam in the middle of a war over a top-secret biochemical weapon”, according to a PlayStation blog post. Subtlety is not on the agenda.
Playable solo or in up to four-player co-op, expect 60 campaign missions that will largely involve shooting paramilitary rivals in various environments. It’s described as an arcade shooter, with a bevy of weapons to choose between, but also promotes tight teamwork using hand signals through PSVR 2’s new finger touch detection system.
The Light Brigade 🐎
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $24.99
Single-player roguelike The Light Brigade mixes gunplay with allusive storytelling. Across a series of procedurally generated levels, you’ll gradually piece together the secrets of its magical world, expanding your arsenal of guns and spells as you go.
It was developed by Funktronic Labs, a small studio that’s put out a couple of VR titles in the past. This one is coming to both PSVR and PSVR 2.
Cities VR: Enhanced Edition 🏙
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
SimCity successor Cities: Skylines first came to VR through the Meta Quest in early 2022, but hopped over to PSVR 2 at launch. It’s a straight port of the existing game, although the horsepower of the PS5 allows for some graphical enhancements.
Like in the original game, Cities VR hands you a huge patch of emptiness to fill with roads, buildings and metropolitan infrastructure, as you carefully balance your spending to attract new citizens while providing all the essentials they demand. This time around, of course, you get to plonk down roads using your hands. Finally, you can genuinely say you built a city in a day.
Cosmonious High 👽
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
Cosmonious High is a kid-friendly sci-fi adventure set in a wacky alien high school. Developed by Owlchemy Labs, which has previously released games like Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator, this new release continues its penchant for casual sims.
It takes advantage of most of PSVR 2’s cutting-edge tech, including 4K resolutions at 90fps, Sense controllers and headset feedback, 3D audio and eye-tracking software, all of which makes its brightly colored world especially vivid.
Hello Neighbor: Search & Rescue 🤐
Release date: May 25, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
A VR spin-off of the stealth horror series Hello Neighbor, Search & Rescue once again sees the bulbous-chinned Mr. Peterson stalk you through a claustrophobic house. Picking from six characters, you’ll be solving puzzles and uncovering mysteries while trying to steer clever of the many traps lying about.
Developed for both PSVR 2 and the original PSVR, the game won’t cater to all the bells and whistles of Sony’s next-gen headset. It might make for a fun, light-hearted horror game, though.
Jurassic World Aftermath Collection 🐱🐉
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
Originally released on Oculus Quest, Jurassic World Aftermath throws you onto Isla Nublar’s abandoned dinosaur research facility. Among a pack of hungry velociraptors, you’ll be solving puzzles and journeying across the island in a narrative adventure.
This collection contains both the original Jurassic World Aftermath and its sequel. As well as targeting 4K resolution, this PSVR 2 port also supports 3D audio, headset vibration and some quality-of-life improvements over the original Oculus Quest version. A nifty new Dino Viewer also lets you get up close and personal with the creatures in a living museum.
Pistol Whip VR 💃
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99 (free upgrade for owners of PSVR version)
Pistol Whip is a rhythm shooter that throws you into an overstimulating abstract world to gun down waves of enemies on the beat. It was already released on PSVR in 2019 but has been spruced up for the new headset.
Expect to find adaptive trigger support, haptic feedback, and SSD optimization that should provide super fast loading times.
Zenith: The Last City 🌄
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99 (free upgrade for owners of PSVR version)
Another launch title, Zenith: The Last City is a fantasy MMO. It’s already available on PSVR but is receiving a whole bunch of new content and graphical improvements. Developer Ramen VR has created new storylines, gameplay features, and overhauled textures.
It also boasts the usual slate of PSVR 2 improvements, including adaptive triggers, headset feedback, and faster loading times. The next-gen version is free to download for anyone who already owns the game on PSVR.
After the Fall: Complete Edition 🧟♂️
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
PSVR shooter After the Fall made the hop to Sony’s new headset at launch. In the zombie shooter, you’ll team up with three other survivors to sling lead through various incarnations of shambling flesh.
Immersion is the focus of this PSVR 2 port. Haptic feedback lets you feel every magazine you load, and the headset’s 110° field of view will be put to full use when you’re scavenging for supplies.
Tentacular 🐙
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $19.99
The only game on this list brave enough to swap your fingers for suction cups, Tentacular is a charming physics-based adventure that turns you into a gigantic mollusk. Between gazing in admiration at your sticky appendages, you'll be solving puzzles to help a good-natured island town.
It’s already available on Meta Quest 2 and Steam VR, and came to PSVR 2 at launch.
X8 🎱
Release date: Early 2023
MSRP: $24.99
X8 is a first-person multiplayer hero shooter where you’ll need to use your character’s unique weapons and abilities to win. Players can acquire dozens of abilities and you can customize your character loadout before each round begins. You’ll need to harness the strength of your heroes to give you the edge in each firefight.
Altair Breaker 🗡️
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
Altair Breaker already came to Meta Quest 2 and Steam before jumping over to Sony’s PSVR 2. The game sees you battling enemies as you move from map to map and unleash a wide range of attacks. You can team up with three other players to take on enemies together, and the game can be played from either a sitting or standing position.
Fantavision 202X 🎆
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99
Originally released on the PlayStation 2, Fantavision returns for PSVR 2. Powered by Unreal Engine, Fantavision is an artistic combination of action, shooting, strategy, and puzzles. The goal is to catch at least three fireworks of the same color and shoot them into the night sky, which makes for a breathtaking experience on the PSVR 2’s high-end display.
Moss and Moss: Book 2 🐭
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $39.99 ($29.99 for Moss: Book 2)
Moss and its award-winning sequel Moss: Book 2 came to PSVR 2 via enhanced versions that take full advantage of the PlayStation VR 2’s new hardware. The games are improved thanks to haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, eye tracking, foveated rendering, the PS VR2 Sense controllers, and an increased field of view. These changes make for a substantial difference.
Rez Infinite
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $29.99 ($10 if you already own the PS4/PSVR game)
A PSVR launch title, Rez Infinite also came to PSVR 2 on day one. However, the game feels brand new, as you’re able to use the PSVR 2’s eye-tracking to aim at enemies. Described as the “ultimate version” of Rez by the founder and CEO of Enhance Tetsuya Mizuguchi, owners of the original game on PS4 and PSVR 2 can upgrade to the PSVR 2 version for $10.
Tetris Effect: Connected 🐳
Release date: February 22, 2023
MSRP: $39.99 ($10 to upgrade if you already own the PS4/ PSVR game)
Prepare your eyes for the puzzling perfection of Tetris Effect: Connected, which came to PSVR 2 at launch. The game makes clever use of PSVR 2’s eye-tracking tech, letting you enter the Zone when you close and open your eyes. You’ll also feel key moments through the headset’s vibration motor and the haptic feedback from the DualSense controller.
Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition 🥊
Release date: April 4, 2023
MSRP: $39.99
Creed: Rise to Glory was one of the most downloaded PSVR games in 2022, so it’s great to see an enhanced edition of the popular boxing VR game come to PlayStation VR2. Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition includes new game content, mode and settings to create a more personalized and immersive experience. Online PvP has been reworked, with optimized matchmaking and cross-platform play.

PSVR 2 games we’d like to see 🤞
We’re hopeful that Sony will find a way to either add PSVR 2 support to these existing titles or simply release PlayStation VR2 versions down the line. These haven’t been confirmed, but they’d make compelling reasons to pick up Sony’s headset when it releases in early 2023.

Is PSVR 2 backward compatible?
Sadly, no. We’ve been waiting to hear whether the PSVR 2 would be backward compatible with PSVR titles, but it turns out that won’t be the case.
PlayStation senior vice president of platform experience Hideaki Nishino revealed the disappointing news on the PlayStation Blog podcast and said that the new headset will not be backward compatible as it is “designed to deliver a truly next-generation VR experience.”
Nishino went on to say, “…developing games for PSVR2 requires a whole different approach than the original PSVR” and touched on the PlayStation VR2’s “more advanced features” like inside-out tracking, eye tracking, 4K HDR OLED display, and new Sense controllers.
As PSVR 2 isn’t backward compatible, hundreds of PSVR games won’t work on Sony’s new peripheral, including beloved titles like Astro Bot Rescue Mission. If you were an early adopter of Sony’s first foray into VR, you might feel short-changed.
We’ll continue to add more PSVR 2 games to this list as more titles are confirmed for Sony’s virtual reality headset, so check back often! You can also stay on top of every new release with our upcoming PS5 games list.

PSVR 2 games list: every PS5 VR game announced and released so far
I was going to ask about the current PSVR titles compatibility but saw you had it covered! :D Thank y'all for the great work!!!
