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.

Thankfully, most PSVR 2 games can be played sitting down. However, these games don’t support the more sedentary VR play style, so you’ll have to get on your feet and make some space if you want to play them.

  • 2MD: VR Football Unleashed All Star

  • B99 Overclocked

  • Beat Saber

  • Break Stuff VR

  • Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue

  • Job Simulator

  • Les Mills Bodycombat

  • NFL Pro Era

  • NFL Pro Era II

  • Organ Quarter

  • Pavlov

  • Startenders: Intergalactic Bartending

  • The Room VR: A Dark Matter

  • Vacation Simulator

  • What the Bat?

It’s always worth double-checking what VR play styles a game supports before you buy it, or you could risk being unable to play it. That’s yet another quirk that could dissuade those new to VR, and might make you wonder: ‘Is PSVR 2 worth it?’.

More PlayStation VR2 games are on the way, and I’ll be sure to update this list so you know exactly what play styles are supported in the future.
