10 Exciting PlayStation VR Launch Games Revealed

Sony’s exciting vision for the future of gaming in the living room arrives tonight. Ahead of the PlayStation 4 Pro’s release this November, the company is releasing the PlayStation VR headset and accessories. It’s also letting loose a new stable of PlayStation VR launch games.

With PlayStation VR, you don’t need a television to enjoy your favorite games. You don’t have to imagine yourself as Batman or the pilot of an advanced tank. You place the headset on your cranium and you become those characters – and just about anything else that developers of PlayStation VR games have managed to dream up since Sony first revealed to them it was working on the accessory.

Priced at just $399, PlayStation VR is the lowest-priced, most user-friendly way of getting into virtual reality this holiday season. That’s what makes the headset so special – no other video game console maker has tried what Sony is trying here. If the company succeeds, virtual reality titles could become a sustainable genre for developers. That would mean more, maybe even better virtual reality games for everyone.

Of course, the key to all of that is delivering PlayStation VR compatible video games that people actually want to play. Sony has worked with developers for years to introduce two breeds of PlayStation VR launch games. There are titles that require the PlayStation VR to work and titles that boast compatibility, but don’t have the headset listed as a requirement.
