Owlchemy Labs is best known for its silly, playful VR titles, especially 2016's Job Simulator (which our review called a "VR funhouse that's all about goofy experimentation"), Vacation Simulator, and its most recent release, Cosmonius High. Our next project lets friends enjoy the classic Owlchemy experience together, with hand tracking opening the door to a whole new world of VR interactions.” Ever since we launched Job Simulator, VR players have been requesting a multiplayer game from Owlchemy. Playing games is much more fun when you’re using your actual body as the controller. Enter Epic Roller Coasters: the game which does just that for free. Its thrilling and fast-paced, and riding a virtual coaster through fantastic settings would appeal to many people. "Hand tracking lowers the barrier of entry into VR, making games more accessible and intuitive to more people. Rollercoasters immediately spring to mind as one of the best natural applications of VR. “The first time we saw and used our own hands in VR we realized this is the future of the platform," said Owlchemy Labs COO Andrew Eiche. The tagline for the game is "You had to be there."Īdditionally, we've gotten a look at one piece of concept art that emphasizes the multiplayer social and hand tracking aspects of whatever this is: We instead saw multiple people wearing VR headsets speaking to one another while one of them appeared to be about to eat something disgusting in VR.

Yes, that is more than either PlayStation 5 console model costs.We didn't see any gameplay in this extremely early teaser - hence the confusion. You can also get a bundle that includes Horizon Call of the Mountain for $599.99 USD.

The new headset goes on sale starting February 22, 2023, and it’ll cost $549.99 USD. We expect to hear about even more games before launch day, but that’s a healthy baker’s dozen to start.Īs for when that launch day is, PlayStation VR 2 arrives in just a few months. Also coming on day one are Horizon Call of the Mountain and the VR version of Resident Evil Village. These 11 games were newly announced, but we already knew about some other launch day PSVR 2 games. The last game in the blog post is Cosmonious High, the next silly sim from the team behind Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator. The lineup also includes several games that are simply PSVR 2 versions of existing titles: Cities VR, Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue, Zenith: The Last City, and Tentacular. The Light Brigade is a roguelike with “immersive gunplay,” Pistol Whip is a cross between a rhythm game and a shooting gallery, and After the Fall is a co-op shooter - lots of shooting there. Crossfire: Sierra Squad is a VR spinoff of the popular online tactical shooter Crossfire, and the Jurassic World Aftermath Collection is a VR rework that combines both parts of the dinosaur survival game. First is The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, an on-rails shooter in the vein of Supermassive’s other VR title, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. The PlayStation Blog details 11 games coming to the headset at launch. Finally, we’ve been given a rundown of what will be available on day one. It’s said to have the highest graphical fidelity of any VR headset on the market, but that doesn’t mean much without games to back it up. Virtual reality fans have been anticipating the arrival of the PlayStation VR 2 ever since it was officially revealed.
