Here’s Every Game Confirmed For The Playstation VR

With the pricing for the three biggest VR platforms now released, Playstation VR seems to be solidly ahead as far as affordability. However it isn’t much use being cheap if the games aren’t there, so we’ve rounded up a list of (almost) all of the games that will be coming to the Playstation VR — as well as hand picking a few that you should be excited for.

As games are always being announced and cancelled, this isn’t a definitive list, though I’ve picked up as many that have been announced for the PSVR as I could find — along with a decent list of exclusives. There’s everything from simulators to first person shooters to puzzle games, with a healthy mix of ports and games that have been created specifically for VR. To begin with, here are our highlights.

What We’re Looking Forward To

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

Studio: Supermassive Games
Exclusive? Yes

The original Until Dawn was one of the only Playstation 4 exclusives that made me glad I owned that console last year, and while Rush of Blood is set to be a completely different game, it’s looking to be a fun VR experience. This horror experience is an on-rails shooter — literally on-rails, as it sets you on a haunted rollercoaster. Still, Supermassive has promised that it will retain some of what makes Until Dawn what it is, such as the concept of branching timelines and making decisions. We’ll have to see how it turns out.

Eagle Flight

Studio: Ubisoft
Exclusive? No

This was one recommended by Kotaku UK writer Keza McDonald in this writeup of promising Oculus Rift games. Good news! It’s also coming to Playstation VR. With an exceedingly simple concept, Eagle Flight lets you fly as an eagle through Paris. Because why not?

The London Heist

Studio: SCE London Studio
Exclusive? Yes

The London Heist is one of the demos we played on the Playstation VR late last year, and you can see my thoughts on it in the video above (as well as our opinions on The Deep experience, also by SCE London Studio and coming to PSVR in some form or another). While not really my type of game at all, I still enjoyed London Heist thoroughly — simply because the controls, interactivity and experience are so well thought-out for the VR platform. I’ll be looking forward to playing the Heist as a full game.

Eve: Valkyrie

Studio: CCP Games
Exclusive? No

You’ve probably heard everyone who’s ever played it raving about the VR experience of EVE: Valkyrie. I haven’t played it. I really want to. Space dogfighting in a setting that makes sense with the movement limitations of VR games? Yes please. Luckily, it’s coming to multiple VR platforms.

Star Wars: Battlefront VR

Studio: EA DICE
Exclusive? Yes

Only just announced, it’s been called a ‘Star Wars: Battlefront VR experience’ rather than a full game, but as a Playstation exclusive it’ll still have some major pulling power for many potential players. Personally, I would find it hard to say no to Star Wars in VR no matter what it is (though someone out there should definitely consider making a podracer game in VR). We’ll have to keep an eye on this title and see how it shapes up towards the release of the Playstation VR.

Earthlight

Studio: Opaque Media
Exclusive? No

Earthlight is one of my favourite VR games that I’ve demoed to date, and is being produced in Australia by Melbourne’s Opaque Media. Earthlight is essentially a NASA astronaut simulator with crazy attention to detail. It also makes sense with the limitations of VR, as astronauts largely have to rely on their hands to get around in zero gravity (or microgravity) situation. While being incredibly accurate, it also has enough of a focus on story and character to classify itself as more than just a simulator game. Again, Earthlight is multi-platform, but it’s worth getting any sort of VR tech to play.

Golem

Studio: Highwire Games
Exclusive? Yes

Golem is a VR game where you control a giant stone golem — simple enough, right? The soundtrack was what drew me in with this short trailer, and the game has the potential to be both a beautiful and fun experience. It also sets up a kind of meta to explain the VR controls — you’re playing as a character who controls these golems without leaving his room. Convenient, right?

Thumper

Studio: Drool
Exclusive? No

Thumper describes itself as ‘rhythm violence’ and after watching the trailer I couldn’t think of a more apt description for this intense rhythm-based game. Its demonic visuals and incredible sound design make Thumper the rhythm game to look out for on VR — among many, many others.

Robinson: The Journey

Studio: Crytek
Exclusive? Yes

Crytek is showing off their graphical prowess again with Robinson: The Journey, adding a fancy robot who sounds like Ewan McGregor’s Obi Wan, and also dinosaurs. Sign me up. While the surprise Steam hit also featuring dinosaurs, ARK, will also be coming to Playstation VR, Robinson is exclusive to the platform, and also looks like a gorgeous game.
