to kickstart your
PlayStation®VR2
experience

From towering mountain peaks to asphalt racetracks, here's 10 games from the PS VR2 launch window line-up that you should check out.

Horizon Call of the Mountain™

Why you need to play it: It's a fresh perspective on the far-future world of Horizon, with a new story told through the eyes of Ryas, a former soldier from the Carja tribe.

Huge, hostile machines have laid siege to the Carja settlement of Dawn’s Grasp. It’s down to Ryas to travel into the mountains, use his warrior’s instinct to unravel the mystery surrounding the machines, and save his people to find redemption for his past.

Why you'll love it on PS VR2: There’s a vast, incredibly beautiful world to take in wherever you look, and the sound of machines all around you with 360-degree audio. You'll feel what it's like to fire your bow in the heat of battle, aiming with one hand and drawing the bow string with the other thanks to the PS VR2 Sense controller's adaptive triggers.

Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge

Why you need to play it: The Star Wars universe explodes into life, with you at the centre of an all-new adventure.

As a droid repair technician operating near the Outer Rim, your story starts to unfold when you crash land on Batuu. Fighting alongside all-time favourite Star Wars characters like R2-D2 and C-3PO, you'll take on deadly enemies and new allegiances as you become the hero of your own adventure.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: The 110-degree field of view provides incredible views of Batuu and other Star Wars environments which, coupled with Tempest 3D audio technology, generate an overwhelmingly realistic version of a galaxy far, far away.

Resident Evil Village

Why you need to play it: You’ve never felt tension and terror like this – but on the bright side, you’ll have new and intuitive ways to attack and defend yourself against the horrors that inhabit the village.

Resident Evil Village VR Mode builds on the original campaign, casting you once again as Ethan Winters and thrusting you into the domain of four malevolent lords who rule over the remote mountain village. With vicious Lycans stalking the streets, and traps and puzzles filling the superbly detailed Gothic environments, fighting for survival has never been so up-close and personal.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: The PS VR2 Sense controller is your key to staying alive, letting you dual-wield weapons, react to danger with realistic motion controls and raise your hands to block attacks.

You’ll also be able to upgrade to play the PS VR2 mode free of charge if you already own Resident Evil Village for PS5.

Gran Turismo 7

Why you need to play it: If you’ve ever wanted to get behind the wheel of some of the world’s most powerful performance vehicles, GT7 is for you.

With over 450 cars to pilot, faithfully recreated to the finest details, you’ll believe you’re really in the driver’s seat, competing on racetracks from around the world where you can race to expand your vehicle collection, or take on fellow PS VR2 drivers online.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: It’s not just the look of the cars that will have you smiling as you admire them from every angle in your VR showroom, but the feel of driving them at top speed: headset feedback gives subtle vibrations at key moments, track details are rendered with jaw-dropping fidelity even at top speeds thanks to foveated rendering, and you can look all around you as you take corners and battle for first place.

Best of all, if you already own Gran Turismo 7 for PS5, the PS VR2 upgrade is completely free.

After the Fall

Why you need to play it: If you’ve ever watched a zombie movie and thought you could do a better job of surviving, After the Fall is your chance to prove it.

This intense co-op shooter drops your squad of four in a frozen 1980s-inspired Los Angeles and throws wave after wave of the rabid undead, called the Snowbreed, at you. Fortunately, you'll find an arsenal of weapons to loot, craft and upgrade, and unleash with devastating power using real-world movements.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: You’ll feel every squeeze of the trigger through haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers of the PS VR2 Sense controller. Explosions and the thunderous movement of larger enemies vibrate through the haptics in the PS VR2 headset, while the 110° field of view gives you an awesome view of your dangerous surroundings in crisp 4K fidelity.

Pavlov

Why you need to play it: The most-popular VR multiplayer shooter on PC deploys onto PlayStation VR2 with cross-play support and an arsenal of action-packed game modes.

Fight it out in 5 vs 5 PvP or PvE matches in Search and Destroy, Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Gun Game and more, across WWII and modern-day settings.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: Hear the direction of a grenade pin being pulled, the moment to strike when an enemy reloads, and the pitter-patter of footsteps sneaking up on you with Tempest 3D AudioTech.

Haptic feedback deepens your sense of immersion during gunfights, whether you’re sniping from a vantage point, getting up close and personal, or piloting a hulking tank.

Moss: Books I & II

Why you need to play it: Both of Quill’s award-winning adventures come separately or together in one bundle, harnessing the power of PS VR2 to bring new depths to physical presence and emotional connection to our tiny hero’s world.

Quill is a young mouse with big dreams, unwittingly thrown into a perilous adventure when she finds a mysterious magical relic. As dangerous foes are awakened across both books of her quest to save the world, she’ll need you by her side to guide her through puzzles, traps, and perilous enemy encounters.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: Haptic feedback from the PS VR2 Sense controller and headset gives an incredible sense of immersion in Quill’s world, letting you feel the physical weight and tension of moving objects and the impact of earth-shaking events as they unfold around her, while Eye Tracking shows you interactive objects in the world just by looking at them - and even allow you to engage in a staring contest with our hero in Moss: Book II!

No Man's Sky

Why you need to play it: The far reaches of No Man Sky’s near-infinite universe are yours to explore in virtual reality, with more immersion than ever thanks to PS VR2 Sense Technology.

The sheer scale of starships, space stations, and celestial bodies is awe-inspiring from within the PS VR2 headset, as you touch down and encounter alien lifeforms, construct an outpost to call home, and roam across planets in exocraft vehicles.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: Opening the hatch of your starship and taking hold of the controls with your own hands is every wannabe cosmonaut’s dream. You’ll feel the engine come to life with haptic feedback and headset vibrations as you turn your head to see a breath-taking 360° view of the planets below and the stars all around you.

Pistol Whip

Why you need to play it: You’ll become a gun-toting icon in this physical rhythm-action FPS fuelled by dynamic tracks and dreamscape visuals.

Pull the trigger on special scenes inspired by iconic movies, plunge into a dancefloor fever dream, and get moving to a soundtrack that will leave you feeling invincible.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: Haptic feedback in the headset and controller lets you feel bullets whistle past your head, and the distinct kick and stylish reload of every weapon in your hands. And you can always take a moment to check your surroundings in the real world with See-Through View – just to be sure no one’s started recording your amazing moves.

Cities: Skylines VR

Why you need to play it: You call the shots in a living, breathing metropolis constructed in your own vision.

As Mayor, you need to cater to the needs of your citizens. With a bird's eye view of your creations, you can design neighbourhoods, give access to utilities and amenities, designate industrial and commercial areas to earn and spend their hard-earned cash and keep them content. Do a good job and perhaps you'll get to watch your city grow into a thriving metropolis.

Why you’ll love it on PS VR2: Shaping your city is a breeze with the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller, plus you can peer into the lives of your citizens walking the bustling streets in astounding detail, then zoom out in a flash thanks to the power of PlayStation 5.
