Top PlayStation VR2 Games for 2025 Featuring Resident Evil Gran Turismo

Sony’s PlayStation VR2 proves just how far virtual reality has come, blending sharp visuals, precise motion tracking, and sensory feedback into truly lifelike experiences. From the breathtaking climbs of Horizon Call of the Mountain to inventive indie titles pushing the headset’s limits, here are the games that show VR at its most thrilling.

Now that we’ve had a chance to play launch line-up games like Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil Village in VR, and more, we can confidently share titles you should be downloading first.

Horizon Call of the Mountain

Set in the rich universe of Horizon, Call of the Mountain places players in the role of Ryas, a former Shadow Carja warrior seeking redemption. Built exclusively for PlayStation VR2, it showcases the headset’s advanced features with stunning visuals, intuitive climbing mechanics, and immersive combat using the Sense controllers. Every encounter with mechanical beasts feels tense and tactile, while breathtaking views and detailed environments make it one of the most visually impressive VR experiences available.

Unquestionably the most graphically impressive game on PSVR 2 right now is Horizon Call of the Mountain. This spinoff based on the popular open-world series has you clambering up cliff sides and firing off arrows as you attempt to survive some encounters with nasty robotic critters. As the primary exclusive, Horizon is the main showcase of the PSVR 2’s many unique features, from eye tracking to in-helmet haptics to adaptive triggers.

Just a note: If you’re brand-new to VR or you get motion sickness easily, Horizon is going to be a bit of a tough pill to swallow, since it’s built around some of the more quease-inducing gameplay aspects in VR. Until the game adds a teleport movement option, be very wary.

The Last Clockwinder

The Last Clockwinder is a charming puzzle and automation game that turns the VR space into a workshop of living machines. Players use their own recorded motions to create chains of clockwork clones that perform tasks together, assembling systems that grow increasingly complex and satisfying. The tactile design and gentle atmosphere make every action feel purposeful, turning problem-solving into a relaxing rhythm of creation within a lush, organic setting.

While less of a graphical stunner than Horizon, The Last Clockwinder makes up for it by being one of the most unique and creative VR games ever made. The premise: You’re attempting to revive a defunct clock tower by using robots that record your exact movements. So, if you want to turn a crank, you can record the movement of you doing it once and the robot will then turn the crank forever. This gets increasingly complicated as you record yourself throwing balls into the air that another recorded robot can then catch and move along the line, until you have a fully automated assembly line. All of this is paired with an endearing storyline and stellar art design.

Tetris Effect: Connected

Tetris Effect: Connected transforms the classic puzzle experience into a breathtaking sensory adventure through VR. Each piece pulses with color and rhythm, syncing perfectly with the music as players progress through its mesmerizing stages. The PS VR2’s haptic feedback and 3D audio make stacking lines feel immersive and almost meditative, turning a familiar challenge into something deeply atmospheric and emotionally engaging.

One of AELGAMES’s favorite games of the last decade continues to get revived for new platforms, and PSVR 2 gets the latest incarnation. If you’re familiar with Tetris, you’ll be well served here, thanks to an incredible backing soundtrack and trippy visuals. The PSVR 2’s haptics groove along to the beat in cool ways, and as a bizarre extra feature, you can activate “Zone” mode just by closing your eyes, thanks to Tetris Effect‘s use of eye tracking. Tetris Effect is also very welcoming to new VR players, with minimal risk of yarfing. Always a good thing!

Thumper

Thumper is a rhythm-action game that combines hypnotic visuals, pounding sound design, and fast-paced gameplay to create intense sensory overload. Players control a chrome beetle hurtling down a track, reacting to beats and obstacles with precise timing. The PS VR2 version amplifies the experience with enhanced resolution, 3D audio, and haptic feedback that syncs perfectly with every impact. Its blend of speed, rhythm, and relentless challenge makes it one of the most thrilling titles available for the headset.

Another music-heavy re-release in the vein of Tetris Effect, Thumper arrives on PSVR 2 as the thumpiest title in the launch line-up. This action rhythm game has you piloting a metal bug as it zooms along a track, and you’ll have to hit the right inputs timed to the music to ensure that you don’t turn said metal bug into scrap. The trippy, Tron-esque visuals fill your entire field of vision thanks to PSVR 2’s wide, 110-degree viewing angle, and the helmet’s haptics will bounce right along with the beat. so long as you’re hitting your cues. A stellar experience for anyone who enjoys a laser light show every now and then.

Moss and Moss Book 2

Quill’s return in Moss: Book II makes full use of the PlayStation VR2’s improved resolution and controller haptics, creating a stronger sense of presence in its miniature fantasy world. Players guide the brave mouse through intricate puzzles and atmospheric environments, using both motion controls and tactile feedback to interact with the scenery. The sequel expands the first game’s charm with richer visuals, more dynamic combat, and emotional storytelling that feels deeply personal in virtual reality.

The cutest titles in PSVR 2’s launch line-up are Moss and Moss Book 2, games that have you commanding a little field mouse as it attempts to take on various fantasy beasts. This is a strange twist on the VR format, in that you’re overseeing all of the action from above rather than stepping into the perspective of Quill, Moss’s adorable mouse. New to PSVR 2 are improved haptics and the PS5’s adaptive triggers, which make the experience of mouse survival all the more harrowing.

No Man’s Sky

No Man’s Sky transforms exploration into an awe-inspiring VR experience, letting players traverse planets filled with rich alien life, vast oceans, and mysterious ruins. The PlayStation VR2’s improved resolution and tracking make interstellar travel feel more tangible as you pilot starships, mine resources, and build bases across countless worlds. The sense of scale and immersion is remarkable, turning routine spaceflight and planetary exploration into breathtaking adventures.

No Man’s Sky has supported VR since way back in 2019, arriving on the first PlayStation VR and PC. Since then, the game has seen a number of updates, but the VR functionality hasn’t gotten as much love. That changed with the Fractal update, timed with the launch of PlayStation VR 2.

In addition to adding native support for PlayStation VR 2 on PS5, the Fractal update massively enhances the VR experience across all platforms. New context-sensitive gestures and buttons allow you to access your quick menus and multi-tool abilities much faster than before. You can also freely examine the cockpit of your favorite starships, which are now fully rendered and interactable in VR.

Given the remarkable post-launch support that No Man’s Sky has gotten, it is easily one of the most robust and jaw-dropping VR experiences available on any platform, and it is a great showpiece for PlayStation VR 2.

Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village adds a chilling, immersive twist to PS VR2, delivering tense, first-person combat and atmospheric exploration that lean into the headset’s pinpoint tracking and comfortable headset weight for long, creeping sessions.

The original PlayStation VR launched with support for Resident Evil 7, thus making one of the scariest games ever made even more horrifying. Capcom is continuing that strategy by releasing a PlayStation VR 2-friendly mode for Resident Evil Village right alongside the headset’s launch day.

This new mode allows you to experience the main campaign entirely in VR, with brand new mechanics for inventory management, weapon aiming, and knife slicing. The game looks absolutely stunning in VR, offering up some of the best visuals we’ve seen in PSVR 2. It’s also a blast to play, so long as you can stomach the lack of a teleport movement option. But if you can handle Horizon Call of the Mountain, this should be no problem at all.
