PSVR 2 Games: Every Announced And Rumored Project (Updated Fall 2022)

PSVR 2 launches on February 22 for $550, but what about PSVR 2 games?

Note: This article was originally published on January 6 and has since been updated.

We’ve got a full rundown of all announced and rumored PSVR 2 games to keep track of. We’ll be keeping this list up to date, so check back often.

Harnessing the power of the PS5, PSVR 2 will be capable of much more ambitious games than the original headset, which ran on the PS4. We recently went hands-on with the headset – you can read that here.

As we get closer to release on February 22, Sony is unveiling more and more of the PSVR 2 games arriving at launch and beyond. Besides official announcements, there’s plenty of rumored PSVR 2 games as well.

If we’ve missed any titles or if you’re a developer with news of your game launch on PSVR 2, please contact us at tips@uploadvr.com

Here’s our full list of confirmed and rumored PSVR 2 games.

PSVR 2 Games: Confirmed Games

Horizon Call of the Mountain

The first game Sony itself officially announced for PSVR 2, Horizon Call of the Wild is a spin-off of the popular open-world series. You might have already played Horizon Zero Dawn, in which protagonist Aloy learned about the near-extinction of humanity and the rise of dinosaur-like machines, or its sequel, Forbidden West on PS4 or PS5.

Call of the Wild is an all-new entry in which you play as a new character (though you will meet Aloy), developed by one of Sony’s newly-acquired studios, Firesprite. It will feature a full campaign with multiple paths, alongside a seperate river ride experience.

While a release date is technically still to be confirmed, it seems likely to be a launch title, especially given Sony is selling PSVR 2 headsets bundles that include a code for the game.

Resident Evil 8

After months of rumors and speculation, we finally know that the entire Resident Evil 8 experience will come to PSVR 2. First released in 2021, Resident Evil 8 reunited players with Ethan, the protagonist from Resident Evil 7, on an all new horror adventure. The first trailer for PSVR 2 support also shows motion controls (which weren’t included in the PSVR version of Resident Evil 7) and new features. No release details yet, but hopefully this will be a free update for owners of the original.

Resident Evil 4 Remake (‘Supported Content’)

There’s a catch to this one. Capcom is remaking Resident Evil 4 for PS5 and it looks fantastic, but the PSVR 2 integration is currently described as “supported content”, which suggests we won’t get the full game in VR. That may have something to do with the fact the original Resident Evil 4 is available on Quest 2 as a platform exclusive. It remains to be seen exactly what this PSVR 2 content will look like, but the game’s out in March 2023.

No Man’s Sky

To the surprise of pretty much no one, the excellent VR support for No Man’s Sky will find its way into the PS5 version when PSVR 2 is released. Hello Games has already done a great job implementing VR into the PS4 and PC versions of the game, so it seems likely that the PS5 edition will hold up as well. As with past updates, we’d expect this to be a free add-on to the game for PS5 owners.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 – Retribution

The original Saints & Sinners is one of PSVR’s best games, so it’s great to hear that the follow-up will reach both that headset and PSVR 2. Though we’re still not sure if this is a full sequel, we can expect plenty of new content as we once again step into the role of the Tourist and survive on the streets of New Orleans. The PSVR 2 version arrives in 2023.

Firmament

Myst developer Cyan World’s latest game was originally planned to come to PSVR. But the studio recently confirmed that it’s stopping work on that version of the game and will instead bring it to PSVR 2. It’s clear to see why the PSVR version might have been an issue – Firmament looks like an absolutely gorgeous game and another interesting addition to the adventure genre. It was actually announced all the way back in 2018 but the full release is planned for 2022 with PSVR 2 support arriving when the headset is ready for launch.

Alvo

Having started life as a PSVR-exclusive shooter with support for the Aim controller, Alvo was one of the first games to confirm it’ll make the jump to PSVR 2. This is a rewarding modern-era shooter inspired by the likes of Counter-Strike. The Aim controller might not be directly supported anymore (Sony hasn’t made any comment on compatibility), but the game’s already up and running on Quest 2, so expect a similar control scheme to that version.

Jurassic World Aftermath Collection

Coatsink is bringing the Jurassic World Aftermath Collection to PSVR 2 in 2023, which it calls a “reworked version” of Part 1 and Part 2 releases on Quest, packaged into one complete offering. Coatsink says Aftermath is “targeting 4K at 90 FPS” on PSVR 2 and will take advantage of the headset features such in-headset rumble and 3D audio.

This version of the game will also include added volumetric lighting, enhanced post-processing effects and faster loading times, alongside a new “Dino Viewer” that lets you view the game’s dinosaurs in a museum setting.

The Aftermath Collection will launch in 2023 for PSVR 2.

Among Us VR

Originally confirmed for PSVR 1, we now know Schell Games’ take on the ever-popular whodunnit game will be coming to PSVR 2. Before Sony confirmed the February 22 release date for PSVR, Schell Games confirmed the game would make its way to PSVR 2 “when [the headset] is released.” We’ve received no update since then, but we’ve reached out to Schell Games to clarify if the game is a launch title for PSVR 2.

Update: In a response to UploadVR, Schell Games said it can’t provide an exact release date for Among Us VR on PSVR 2 yet. 

Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord

A collaboration between VR developer nDreams and Sony Pictures Virtual Reality, Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is confirmed for release on PSVR 2. While the game will initially launch as an exclusive for the Quest platform in 2023, it will make its way to PSVR 2 sometime after – no exact date just yet.

You can read more about the game here.

Other Unannounced nDreams Games

In a recent funding announcement, UK-based nDreams confirmed that it’s working on multiple projects for PSVR 2. We now know that one of those is  Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, but what about the others?

The studio has a long history with VR, but is best known for its 2020 stealth action VR, Phantom: Covert Ops, in which players infiltrated hostile territory in a kyack, and last year’s blockbuster PSVR shooter, Fracked. There’s no word yet on what these other new projects will be, but nDreams now consists of three studios making VR content, and we’d gladly replay Fracked on new hardware.

Firewall Ultra

Firewall and Solaris developer First Contact Entertainment announced Firewall Ultra earlier this year, releasing exclusively for PSVR 2. This follow-up to Firewall Zero Hour is described as an ‘evolution’ of the franchise, adding loads of new content while also carrying over and upgrading content from Zero Hour as well.

Runner

Horizon might be the first game Sony announced for PSVR 2, but Runner developer Truant Pixel announced its intention to release on the platform nearly a year before that. This is an anime-inspired biking game in which you speed down futuristic highways fending off enemies with dual-wielding weapons. It’s got gorgeously animated cutscenes and is also expected to launch on Quest 2 and PC VR. Perhaps not a raw display of PSVR 2’s power, then, but a good indication of what you can expect from indie development on the headset.

Low-Fi

The long-anticipated sci-fi title from Iris VR has been promising to join the line-up of PSVR 2 games for years now. Low-Fi is designed to be a futuristic life-simulator inspired by the likes of Blade Runner in which players can make their own choices about how to proceed. It’s been in early access on Itch for a few years, with the developer continuing to bolt on new features. Hopefully 2022 will see the launch of the full version of the game on PSVR 2.

Samurai Slaughter House

Another indie studio that’s been very quick to confirm it’ll join the list of PSVR 2 games, Samurai Slaughter House is a bloody melee combat game with a black and white art style and physics-based fighting. The game’s also planned for PC VR and Quest 2.

Demeo

This tabletop RPG-inspired dungeon crawler was one of our favorite games of last year and soon it’ll be available on PSVR 2 as well. Demeo will launch on PSVR 2 with support for eye tracking and cross-play in 2023.

You can find more info here.

Star Wars: Tales From The Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition

Much like Aftermath, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition will package both parts from the original Quest releases into one complete offering on PSVR 2 in 2023. ILMxLAB says that the game has been rebuilt for “to take advantage of many of the enhancements the hardware has to offer” including eye tracking and haptics in both the headset and Sense controllers. 

Mixture

This upcoming action-adventure platformer from Polish studio Played With Fire will see you take control of two protagonists at once in 2023. We tried the Quest version of the game out earlier this year, which offered an interesting combination of platforming and roomscale gameplay,

Requisition VR

General Producer Oliver Smirnoff confirmed to UploadVR that Arcadia are planning to release a port of Requisition VR on PSVR 2 in 2023, after release on PC VR and Quest.

Hubris

Developers Cyborn announced that a PSVR 2 version of its upcoming sci-fi action-adventure game Hubris will arrive on the platform in 2023. You can read our preview of the PC VR version from Gamescom here.

Swordsman VR

Sinn Studio’s melee combat simulator Swordsman VR will be a launch day release on PSVR 2.

The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR

This horror-themed rollercoaster shooter will be a launch day title for PSVR 2, taking advantage of the headset’s unique features such as adaptive triggers and eye tracking. You can read more about the game here.

Crossfire: Sierra Squad

Crossfire: Sierra Squad is an upcoming arcade shooter, spun-off from popular FPS title Crossfire. It will feature over 60 campaign missions and 40 different weapons when it launches in Summer 2023 for PSVR 2. You can read more here.

The Light Brigade

From Funktronic Labs, the developers of Fujii, comes a new single player roguelike that will see you join the ranks of the titular Light Brigade and play through procedurally generated battlegrounds with “realistic physics-based gunplay” and spells. It will release on PSVR 2 (as well as Quest 2) in Q1 2023.

Cities: VR – Enhanced Edition

After releasing on Quest 2 earlier this year, Cities: VR is coming to PSVR 2 at launch next February. This game brings the full Cities: Skylines experience into VR – for better or worse. According to the PlayStation blog, this Enhanced Edition will use the PS5’s horsepower to bring “great detail” and ensure a “smooth experience” when observing you cities from all levels. We’re looking forward to stacking this version of the game up against the Quest 2 version early next year.

Cosmonious High

Esteemed VR studio Owlchemy Labs will bring its latest release, Cosmonious High, to PSVR 2 as a launch title in 2023. This version of the game will add eye tracking support and real-time shadows. It will also take advantage of the unique force feedback hardware in the Sense controllers and PSVR 2 headset, so that players will be able to feel elements like wind and water as they interact with the environment.

Hello Neighbour

Hello Neighbour: Search and Rescue brings the viral flatscreen franchise into VR, launching on PSVR and PSVR 2 at launch next year, alongside a same-day release on PC VR. Steel Wool Studios are handling development, after launching popular VR title Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted in 2020.

Pistol Whip

Pistol Whip is coming to PSVR 2 and bringing support for a bunch of the headset’s new features and capabilities. According to Lucas Sitanski from Cloudhead Games, the Sense controller haptics will you to “feel the rush of a bullet grazing your head, the clicks of reloading your gun, and more realistic vibrations when firing.” Pistol Whip will also support 3D audio on PSVR 2 and will feature faster load times and scene transitions thanks to the PS5’s solid state drive (SSD).

The PSVR 2 version of Pistol Whip will be a free upgrade for owners of the original PSVR version.

Zenith: The Last City

The VR MMO Zenith will be available as a launch day title for PSVR 2. Since launching on other platforms earlier this year, Zenith developers Ramen VR have added a bunch of new content and changes to the experience, all of which will carry over to the new PSVR 2 version. This includes an overhaul of the new player experience, updates to graphics with “cripser textures and higher-definition models, lifelike grass, realistic shadows and lighting, and more.”

Zenith will also use PSVR 2’s headset and Sense controller haptic feedback, along with adaptive triggers for weapon effects. The PS5’s SSD will also improve load times by “2-5x on average compared to any other platform.”

The PSVR 2 version of Zenith will be available as a launch title, free for players who already own Zenith for the original PSVR headset.

After the Fall

After the Fall is coming to PSVR 2 in 2023. Vertigo Games is adding support for Sense controller haptics and adaptive triggers in this version of the game. Plus, it will continue to support full cross-platform multiplayer, so PSVR 2 players will be able to play with other After the Fall players on any other VR platform.

For owners of After the Fall on PSVR, the PSVR 2 version will be a free upgrade.

Tentacular

An underrated gem on Quest, Tentacular will make its debut on PSVR 2 next year with support for adaptive triggers and haptics on the headset and Sense controllers. It will also implement eye tracking functionality across the game, allowing you to use your eyes to interact with La Kalma residents and the game’s menus.

PSVR 2 Games: Rumored Games

These are possible PSVR 2 games that developers have either hinted at or seem very likely to come to the platform.

Gran Turismo 7

PS4’s Gran Turismo Sport featured bare-bones support for PSVR. The actual experience was incredibly polished, but it only let you race against one other AI opponent or perfect your lap times. Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi himself expressed frustration with the performance needed for a good VR experience and once said he expected that to improve in the next-generation of consoles. More recently, he cryptically noted that he couldn’t talk about possible VR support for Gran Turismo 7 “yet”. All things considered, this seems like a solid bet to become a full PSVR 2 game in the future.

Farpoint 2

Farpoint became one of PSVR’s most popular shooters thanks to its reliance on the excellent rifle-shaped Aim Controller. The game had a full single-player campaign and a fun — if limited — multiplayer option, sending players to an alien world to fight spider-like monsters. Developer Impulse Gear recently put out another great shooter named Larcenauts for Quest and PC VR. Around that time, we asked the studio’s Greg Koreman about a possible return to the series.

He told us: “We definitely don’t have anything to announce at the moment but that is our roots and we’re very happy with what we did on Farpoint. And I think you look at that game and that universe and there’s absolutely a lot more to explore there.” Yep, it sounds like a sequel is very possiblyy one of the upcoming PSVR 2 games.

Half-Life: Alyx

What must be one of the most hoped-for PSVR 2 games is a port of Valve’s stunning return to its flagship franchise from 2020. Alyx absolutely delivered on the AAA VR dream with a long, highly-polished campaign that really capitalized on the platform. Before launch in 2019, Valve’s Greg Coomer had this to say to PushSquare on the possibility of a PSVR port for the game: “We believe Sony’s VR platform has been a huge success for the medium, and we assume that lots of Sony customers would love to experience this new chapter of Half-Life.” Could we see Alyx arrive on PSVR 2 with this in mind?

PSVR 2 Games: Cross-Gen Games With PSVR 1 Support

There are games that are on both PS4 and PS5 already and have PSVR support on PS4, thus making them likely candidates for PSVR 2 games in the future.

Hitman 3

Arguably the last truly huge PSVR release, Hitman 3 featured timed-exclusive support for the headset when it launched in January 2021. Not only could you play the entire game in first-person using the DualShock 4’s motion controls, but you could import the campaigns from Hitman 1 and 2 and play them there too. The timed-exclusivity window is now up, with VR support available on on PC too, with two-handed motion controls. It’s a very good indication that, when PSVR 2 drops, the PS5 version of Hitman 3 could add support for PSVR 2 as well.

Resident Evil 7

Resident Evil 7 is due to get a PS5 remaster later in 2022. It will include ray tracing support, improved framerates and integration with DualSense’s’ haptic feedback and resistance triggers. There’s been no confirmation of PSVR 2 support thus far but, given this remains one of the best games on the original headset, we’ll keep our fingers crossed. If PSVR 2 gets Resident Evil 7 and 8? We’ll be very lucky indeed.

The Persistence

Sony bought Horizon Call of the Mountain developer Firesprite in 2021, but the Liverpool-based team had been showing support for PSVR long before that. It created the fantastic timed-exclusive, The Persistence, first for PSVR. It’s a thrilling, procedurally generated survival horror game that established palpable atmosphere. The Persistence eventually found its way to other headsets and flatscreen platforms including PS5. Once the new headset’s released, it’s a solid bet that this will be one of the new PSVR 2 games we can enjoy on the device.

Kona

Kona is something of an oddity. It’s a first-person investigation game set in snowy Northern Canada. You look into strange events that have left a small town deserted and survive the blizzard. The PS4 and PC versions of the game got premium VR DLC that let you play the entire experience with a headset. A PS5 version arrived somewhat out of the blue with a free upgrade. Hopefully we’ll see this version also get PSVR 2 support once the headset arrives.
