Here's all of the VR games coming to PlayStation this spring and beyond
Experience VR on the PlayStation with these exciting upcoming game titles.
PlayStation VR is becoming an increasingly larger platform, especially with the upcoming PS5 VR release. But no matter where you play your VR games, whether on a PS4 or PS5, you're in for an incredible experience. With PlayStation unleashing new games almost every month, it's easy to get overwhelmed by what's out there. Here are some of the unreleased VR games slated to hit PSVR in the coming months. We look forward to adding more upcoming PlayStation VR games to this list as they become available. For now, we hope some of our favorite picks on this list catch your eye.
PlayStation VR games:StrideEver wonder what Mirror's Edge would look like in virtual reality? Well, this is the closest thing you might get. Since you probably can't do parkour in real life, do it in the safety of VR with Stride. It's not exclusively about parkour either since you'll have to fight enemies on rooftops of the metropolis you're turning into a jungle gym. Stride will feature an Arena mode, Time Run mode, and an Endless mode with infinite level generation.
If you're prone to motion sickness or vertigo, this might not be the best game for you to play in VR. However, if you're looking for a rush and want to play a quick action game, Stride seems to be a good fit.
Release date: TBD
Moss: Book 2The sequel to the hit PSVR game Moss was announced during PlayStation's State of Play event in July 2021, and will see the return of Quill, the tiny mouse who acts as the main character of the game. After saving her uncle in the first game, Quill will continue her journey and try to escape what looks to be an entirely new set of threats and enemies.
Not too much was shared about Moss: Book 2 as of yet, but developer Polyarc seems hard at work getting the game ready to go ahead of its 2022 release.
Release date: Spring 2022

Which VR game are you looking forward to playing?Though releases have slowed down with the pandemic, there are still several exciting games in our future, including the highly anticipated Stride and Moss: Book 2. Alongside that, the upcoming release of the PSVR 2 should also herald in brand new virtual reality titles as well, as Sony seems very committed to continuing to grow its own space and dominance in the VR world.
While we're all excited for these titles to release, you can check out even more upcoming PS4 and PS5 games while you wait for these to hit your headset.
