Sony has given PlayStation VR2 (PSVR 2) owners some much-needed love by showing off four new VR games coming to fans within the next year.
The company detailed some of the PSVR 2 games players can look forward to in a PlayStation Blog post. The four titles are Dreams of Another, Grit and Valor – 1949, Hotel Infinity, and Meteora, with each offering a completely different virtual-reality experience from the last.
Dreams of Another
Topping the list of new PSVR 2 games is Q-Games’ latest entry in the PixelJunk series, Dreams of Another. This is one VR game that players already knew about, but its appearance today still comes with a new look at its mesmerizing gameplay and how virtual reality will allow players to thoroughly explore dreamlike worlds in both first- and third-person. It’s currently set to come to PC, PlayStation 5, and PSVR 2 later this year.
Grit and Valor – 1949
If you’re looking for something less serene and more action-y, then Milky Tea Studios’ Grit and Valor – 1949 might be for you. This is a real-time tactics rogue-lite from earlier this year that will soon allow PSVR 2 players to control alternate history battlefields in World War II. That means navigating through menus with the tips of your fingers and even picking up and placing units as if they’re real-life models when it launches August 21, 2025.
Hotel Infinity
Manifold Garden developer Studio Chyr is bringing its puzzle expertise to PSVR 2 with Hotel Infinity, a mind-bending experience that looks to twist player perspectives in more ways than one. Its gameplay trailer shows the slightly creepy hotel — and puzzles — VR fans can get lost in when it arrives later this year.
Meteora
Rounding out the list of Sony’s new PSVR 2 games is Meteora, a space racing game where players step into the rocky shoes of a flaming meteor in what is described as a “combat racing” game. This one is about rising to the top of leaderboards in what looks like a colorful and explosive experience, and it’s coming to PSVR 2 in 2026.
Sony unleashed the PSVR 2 as its VR peripheral sequel device in February 2023. Despite introducing a slew of new features and upgraded tech, reports signaled PSVR 2 suffered from an underwhelming launch. It was mostly doom and gloom for the headset until Sony eventually revealed that the PSVR 2 had actually managed to outperform the launch of the original PSVR, coming in at just below 600,000 units sold six weeks post-launch.
However, one year later, in March 2024, Bloomberg reported that Sony would be pausing PSVR 2 production in order to ensure its backlog of unsold units would be sold. Just last week, it was announced that action-rhythm mega-hit Beat Saber would be ending support for VR devices on PS4 and PS5 starting immediately. Although four games are now on the way, many have wondered if Sony still actually cares about PSVR 2 for quite some time.
Today’s announcements at least show that Sony has a bit more gas in the tank when it comes to PSVR 2. For more, you can check out our original PSVR 2 review, where we gave the device a 9/10.
