Sony’s PSVR 2 headset can immerse you in fantastical worlds and transform your room into a magical play space. 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 that you might not be able to accommodate.

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.

Want to play PSVR 2 sitting down? These games can be enjoyed without the need to stand up, though the majority of titles include the option if you ever feel like stretching your legs. I’ve highlighted the games that only include the sitting VR play style, too.

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

  • Job Simulator

  • Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue

  • Les Mills Bodycombat

  • NFL Pro Era

  • Startenders: Intergalactic Bartending

  • 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 who are new to VR, and might make you wonder ‘is PSVR 2 worth it?’.

Thankfully, 44 PSVR 2 launch games are available to play now that the headset is out, which means there are plenty of options to suit the tastes of every gamer.
