Sony’s PSVR 2 headset can immerse you in fantastical worlds and make you feel like you’re sitting in the cockpit of a racing car, competing in the NFL, or attending an alien high school with convincing realism. However, sometimes you just want to play PSVR 2 sitting down.

If you’re tired after a long day or simply don’t have the space to play VR standing up safely, I’ve rounded up all the PSVR 2 games you can play sitting down. This list will also save you time if you’re not interested in playing roomscale VR games, as these require a 2m x 2m play area or larger that you might not be able to accommodate depending on where you play.

Sitting games are also recommended to those who are wondering ‘Does PSVR 2 make you feel sick?’. I’ve personally found playing games from a seated position can help combat the feelings of motion sickness that tend to arise in more vigorous titles. When you do feel like you’re having a slight wobble in VR, it’s comforting to know that your keister is firmly planted on the couch. And thankfully there are plenty of PSVR 2 games you can play sitting down.
