“RUNNER is my favourite PSVR2 game so far thanks to its intense action-packed arcade-like gameplay, incredible amount of variety, and '80s presentation complete with a banging soundtrack and over-the-top explosions. In my opinion, that's what video games are all about.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
2025 has seen a lot of changes in VR gaming, but which are the trends that will help the player base to grow in the future?
Interested to learn of Sonys full body tracking and force feedback suit. Reminds me of ready player one.
As for the mention of Quest 3 and 3S. They're nice but why mention them as 2025 and beyond. We already had the Q3S last year and the superior Q3 earlier.
Sony doesn't own the game. It's Valve's game. Valve made the game to get users to use Steam. Just like they made Steam Boxes or the Steam Deck or the Index to get users onto their PC platform.
What Sony should have done was get Insomniac to make Spider-Man for VR. Or, TLofU. Or some big franchise they own converted to VR. Sony should have been more concerned on how to sell the headset besides GT7. The best games on PSVR aren't even compatible with PS VR 2. Another huge mistake. So, games like Astrobot, Wipeout or Blood and Truth are stuck on PS4.
They made a huge amount of money this Gen and did nothing for VR but sit back and watch indie developers. No effort means no buy. Which is surprising coming from Sony.
The last of Us would work perfect! Horror, looking around with a flashlight, and guns and bows work really well in VR. Sneaking up and grabbing the infected by the neck and choking them out, or throwing bricks and things to distract them sound good too. Not making one is a missed opportunity.
They did make a big franchise VR game.
Horizon VR game launched with the system.
Not making VR1 games work with VR2 is probably the biggest missed opportunity.
At least a few 3rd parties released patches for some games.
Replies(4)That's the whole list? VR is doomed. One of the biggest development is more multiplatform releases, which I don't even think is even true. The other one is standalone headsets? Which has been there since 2018 and went mainstream 5 years ago?
I use it a lot. I’m guessing you haven't. It’s the future sorry dude.

IMO, there's two that are better than all these (except maybe Beat Saber), Thrill of the Fight and AUDICA.
Originally released on Steam back in 2021, Xlab Digital's tower defence game Iron Guard is available today for PSVR 2.
