PS VR2’s First Year: New Games, PC Support, and What Came Next
PlayStation VR2 had a busy first year, with Sony building its headset around sharper visuals, Sense controller features, and a growing library of VR games for PlayStation 5.
This older Fix Gaming Channel article has been cleaned up and refreshed as an archive look at PS VR2’s early growth, the games Sony highlighted at the time, and the later move toward PC support through the official PS VR2 PC adapter.

A Bigger Library After Launch
Since launch, PlayStation VR2 has continued to build out its catalog with original VR releases, updates for existing games, and VR-compatible versions of bigger PlayStation titles.
Sony’s early messaging focused heavily on expanding the library beyond the launch window, with more games planned across action, horror, city-building, fantasy, and co-op experiences.
That mattered because VR hardware needs more than strong tech. It needs reasons for players to keep putting the headset on, and PS VR2’s first year was largely about building that wider reason to return.
Zombie Army VR and Little Cities: Bigger!
Among the games highlighted for PS VR2 were Zombie Army VR and Little Cities: Bigger!, two very different examples of what the headset could offer.
Zombie Army VR brought Rebellion’s undead shooter series into virtual reality, leaning on co-op action, weapon handling, and close-range zombie encounters.
Little Cities: Bigger! moved in the opposite direction, giving players a more relaxed city-building experience where scale, layout, and presentation made sense inside VR.
More Updates and New VR Worlds
The early PS VR2 roadmap also included continued interest around Arizona Sunshine 2, along with new releases such as Soul Covenant, which leaned into darker sci-fi action and story-driven VR combat.
For players who wanted horror, shooters, survival games, or more experimental VR projects, PS VR2’s growing library showed signs of moving beyond the initial launch catalog.
The challenge, as always with VR, was not only getting games released but making sure enough of them felt essential for headset owners.
PS VR2 PC Support Changed the Conversation
One of the biggest shifts came when Sony moved forward with PC support for PlayStation VR2. The official PS VR2 PC adapter launched in August 2024, allowing headset owners to access supported SteamVR titles on PC.
This did not replace the PS5 experience, and some headset features remain tied to PlayStation 5. Still, the PC adapter gave PS VR2 owners a much wider software path than the console library alone.
For many players, that was an important step. A headset with strong hardware becomes easier to recommend when it can reach more games across more platforms.
Players can learn more about the official adapter through the PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter page.
A Headset Still Looking for Its Defining Run
Looking back, PS VR2’s first year was a mix of strong hardware, growing software support, and one major platform-expanding move through PC compatibility.
The headset still needed more must-play releases to fully prove itself, but Sony’s push toward new games and PC access showed that PS VR2 was not standing still after launch.
For VR players, the real question became simple: would the expanding library keep pace with the quality of the hardware?
