The PSVR was an astounding success for Sony, and the Japanese gaming giant has great plans to continue its venture in the VR space with the PSVR2. It had a strong launch lineup with games like GT7 VR and Horizon Call of the Mountain, and there are plenty of great PSVR2 games to look forward to as well.
Aces of Thunder
Gaijin Entertainment’s upcoming Aces of Thunder lets you live out your fantasy of being in the driver’s seat of a military airplane, and it makes great use of the VR platform’s capabilities to really immerse you into the experience. The game features plenty of different vehicles to choose from, and each of these models will have different handling and stats thanks to the simulation nature of gameplay. It comes out for PSVR2 sometime this year.
Bulletstorm VR
Bulletstorm is known for its fast and frenetic gameplay loop and hilarious writing, and developer People Can Fly’s 2011 hit continues to hold up surprisingly well to this date.

It’s available now on PSVR2.
Arken Age
Set against the backdrop of a futuristic world that’s a weird but beautiful mix of nature and technology, developer VitriviusVR’s Arken Age revolves around the protagonist embarking on a grand adventure to save the world from peril. The gameplay lets you take part in thrilling first-person encounters, but what separates Arken Age from its contemporaries is its physics-based combat mechanics and the ability to craft custom weaponry. It’s set to come out sometime in Q1 2024, and we will definitely be checking it out when it releases.
Heroes of Forever
Currently in development at Lucky Mountain Games, Heroes of Forever is a first-person shooter that sees you and your friends hopping across different dimensions and time periods all in an effort to cleanse the world of some creeping corruption.

It will come out sometime in 2024.
Madison VR
BLOODIOUS Games delivered a great first-person horror game with Madison, and a lot of that praise could be attributed to the thick atmosphere and a storyline that continues to remain engaging right through to the end. Fans will be able to enjoy the game with even more immersion through its upcoming VR mode, and it looks like it just might be the best way to experience what Madison has to offer. We don’t have a release date at the moment, but we will hopefully get to hear more news on the matter in the coming weeks and months.
Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate
Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate is a remake of the original Wanderer, and it offers the same brain-tickling puzzle experience and a story that remains a captivating affair through and through while also giving the visuals a fresh coat of paint. In addition to this, the PSVR2 remake also adds three new levels and mechanical improvements which give enough reasons to replay this amazing adventure all over again. It comes out for PSVR2 sometime this year.
Phasmophobia
Kinetic Games enjoyed a ton of critical and commercial success with Phasmophobia, a game that manages to stitch together psychological horror with co-op gameplay in a way that’s pretty fresh and unique. Phasmophobia will also be making a transition to the VR platform in a while, and the prospect of getting to experience the bone-chilling horror that comes from slowly making your way through deserted corridors and crumbled mansions is something that’s too hard to pass on. It doesn’t have a release date at the moment, but more news will be dropping shortly.
Vertigo 2

Low-fi is still deep in development and is speculated to be released in 2024 on PSVR2.
Akka Arrh
Akka Arrh feels like the perfect VR translation of retro shooter games back from the 80s. Developed by Llamasoft, Akka Arrh is best described as a mixture of deliriant visuals, neon bright colors, and an energetic soundtrack while the gameplay revolves around shooting enemies and dodging bullets in moments unnoticed. Akka Arrh is available on PC right now and is scheduled to release on PSVR2 in March 2024.

Firmament will thrust players into a steampunk world that comprises many elaborate puzzle rooms that players will have to solve in order to make sense of this world and decipher the central mystery of it all. Reception has generally been positive across PC, and it could definitely be an amazing time on VR as well.
Genotype
Genotype is a single-player first-person shooter where you get to explore a scientific facility overrun by all manner of weird worms, but the catch is that you can use these creatures as weapons by printing them and fighting off the incoming forces. Not only that, you can also transform into these tiny creatures to explore inaccessible areas like secret vents and narrow passageways. Genotype’s suite of ideas makes it sound pretty cool, and we will be checking it out when it releases in the near future.
