Sony's second take on a virtual reality headset is not too far away. The PSVR 2 is due to launch just next month on the 22nd of February, 2023 — with PSVR 2 preorders already open.
But what games will you have to play on this hot new PS5 VR device? Well, there are set to be around 30 or so games available for the PlayStation VR2 at launch, with a ton more announced for later in 2023 and beyond.
Highlights for the PSVR 2 so far include virtual reality takes on Resident Evil Village and No Man's Sky, along with other games such as Horizon Call of the Mountain, a new Fantavision game, Cities VR, Among Us VR, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge, Moss, Moss: Book II, and many more.
Here's an early alphabetical list looking at just what games are on the horizon (so far) for the PSVR 2 — it already features around ~70 games, and we'll be updating this post as more get announced/confirmed.
This list of upcoming PSVR 2 games has release dates for each game (if we know it), a quick description, and a trailer too — so consider this your ultimate PSVR 2 game guide. Let's take a look:

Across The Valley
FusionPlay
🗓️ Release: Early 2023
Virtual reality really does open up the door to take simulation games to a whole new level — as shown in Across The Valley, a new farming sim from FusionPlay in which you really do get hands-on. This virtual farming experience sees you sowing seeds, harvesting crops, and interacting with the various farm animals.
FusionPlay put it best: "instead of clicking around in menus, you care for the animals and plants with your own hands."

A four-player co-op shooter experience set in a frozen post-apocalyptic L.A.
The above trailer gives a good idea of what to expect in the PSVR 2 version (including feeling the headset vibrate when you get hit in the head by an enemy). The game has cross-play with those on PC and Meta Quest, plus if you have the original game you can snag the PSVR 2 upgrade/update for free.
First released in December 2o21, the PSVR 2 is slated for an 'Early 2023' release.
