The world of virtual reality will expand on February 22 thanks to the launch of the PSVR 2 headset for PS5. Building on the foundation laid by the original PSVR headset, this next-gen headset packs in a bundle of impressive features (such as eye tracking, headset haptics, and a 4K resolution), but it also carries a staggering $550 price tag.
Thankfully, Sony seems to be giving PSVR 2 heaps of attention, with a mountain of games already announced for the platform. This includes a good mix of remasters, new releases, and sequels to established titles. All told, about 50 games have been revealed for PSVR 2, and we’re sure to hear about more throughout 2023.
Of course, the PSVR 2 games library is just as important as its technical chops, and right now things don’t look to disappoint. From tactical shooters like Crossfire: Sierra Squad to relaxing titles like Puzzling Places , Sony’s headset looks to have all of the major genres covered. One of the most anticipated titles for PSVR 2 is Horizon: Call of the Mountain, which takes place in the same world as Forbidden West and should help show off the power of the $550 gadget.
Curious to know what the PSVR 2 library looks like before committing to a purchase? Here’s a look at every confirmed PSVR 2 game. We listed the games in alphabetical order and included links to the PlayStation Store where you can preorder or wishlist titles you're interested in.
2MD: VR Football Unleashed All-Star
Although it doesn’t feature any of your favorite teams from the NFL or NCAA, 2MD more than makes up for it with an authentic football experience. Beyond throwing touchdown passes, you’ll also be able to draw up your own plays and fully customize your squad when not on the gridiron. Toss in 60 unique stadiums, a variety of game modes, and a virtual display case, and it’s easy to see how 2MD can eat up a lot of your free time.
After the Fall (free upgrade)
Slay the undead in this cooperative, VR shooter. Three other players can join you on your adventure, which has you traveling through the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles as you try to survive the end of the world.

Altair Breaker
Altair Breaker has you exploring the Vasus Isle as you compete with a variety of deadly enemies in sword-based combat.

Beat Saber has been confirmed for PSVR 2, although we’re still waiting on specifics--such as how it’ll be enhanced to make full use of the hardware. For now, expect to be flailing your arms around in a frenzy as you slice through blocks to some of today’s most popular songs.
Behemoth
If you’re looking for a chilling, survival experience on PSVR 2, Behemoth might be the answer. Brutal combat, a horrifying atmosphere, and incredible graphics should make for a unique experience when it arrives sometime later this year.
Before Your Eyes
Before Your Eyes is a first-person narrative game where your actions have a direct impact on the course of the story. The big twist? You control the action by blinking your eyes in real life. Aside from the innovative gameplay mechanics, Before Your Eyes also features a striking art style that makes it stand out in a crowded market.
Cities VR: Enhanced Edition
Build, manage, and run the city of your dreams (or nightmares). Cities VR: Enhanced Edition tasks you with everything from utility planning to educating your population. And since you can check in on the action using both a bird’s-eye view and by diving down onto the streets, you should be able to get a real feel for what your city can do to improve.
Cosmonious High
Cosmonious High has you trying to save the eponymous Cosmonious High School from a bizarre cosmic event. Beyond unlocking powers and exploring colorful environments, one of the coolest things about the game is its living characters, which will react to your gestures and add another layer of immersion to your actions.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR
Only available on PSVR 2, Switchback VR takes place in the haunting world of the Dark Pictures franchise. You’ll jump onto a horrific roller coaster that’ll take you through one terrifying scenario after the next, although the ability to dual-wield firearms should give you a bit of comfort as you hurtle towards whatever nightmare lies around the bend.
Creed: Rise to Glory - Championship Edition

Do Not Open
If you’re easily scared, do not play this game. Do Not Open is a horrifying puzzle game inspired by traditional escape rooms. Hiding is a more-viable option than fighting, and a chilling narrative should keep you interested until the final credits roll.
Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate

The Light Brigade (free upgrade)
Join The Light Brigade--a group fighting for the last remnants of humanity. The roguelite shooter features procedurally generated environments, which should make it perfect for multiple playthroughs. Beyond its random levels, you’ll have access to a wide variety of weapons, spells, and classes to let you customize your play style.
Low-Fi
This cyberpunk game has you playing as a sheriff of cityblock 303--and you’re given free rein to play as you see fit. The developer says the game is more like a “holodeck program than a traditional game,” so you’re free to pass out tickets, head to a casino, or spend your hard-earned credits on a wide assortment of items.

The multiplayer modes are the big draw, but Pavlov VR also features an offline mode, a practice range, bots, and a few other features that should keep you busy when not online.
Puzzling Places
Looking to unwind? Consider checking out Puzzling Places. This relaxing VR game sees you piecing together 3D jigsaw puzzles that, when completed, resemble iconic locations from around the world. More than a dozen puzzles are available, and you can choose your difficulty---which essentially means working with anywhere from 25 to 400 pieces per puzzle.
Pistol Whip (free upgrade)
Arguably one of the best VR games available today, Pistol Whip is a fast-paced shooter that plays out to the beat of the soundtrack.

Resident Evil Village
The latest Resident Evil game is getting free DLC, letting players run through the entire campaign using their shiny new headset. If you thought the base game was scary, however, you might want to hold off on jumping into VR, as being fully immersed in its bleak world probably won’t be for the faint of heart.

Tentacular
Tentacular puts you in control of (surprise!) a strange beast with several tentacular appendages.

The lighthearted game looks both innovative and adorable, and it might be one of the quirkiest games heading to PSVR 2.

X8 is a wild FPS that divides players into two teams--Attackers and Defenders. The former is looking to plant a gadget known as “The Extrapolator,” while the latter is trying to stop the Attackers in their tracks. Several unique abilities and weapons are up for grabs, and there looks to be a wide degree of freedom in how you approach your goal.
Zenith: The Last City (free upgrade)
Zenith: The Last City might be the best VR MMO available today. It should only get better when it arrives on PSVR 2 at launch, with headset feedback, adaptive triggers, and massive visual upgrades.
