When will more PSVR 2 games be released?
Whilst it’s all speculative when the next batch of PSVR 2 games will be announced, the fact that these 11 games followed the hype of the release date for the PSVR 2 could potentially see newer titles being added to the roster sooner than you think. Perhaps in the midst of Black Friday sales, or on the run-up to Christmas; the future is uncertain. One thing’s for sure, we’re very excited!
Can I play PSVR 2 games on my Meta Quest 2?
The short answer is no. However, whilst there’s no official support between the Quest 2 headset and PlayStation, there are some external options. For instance, you can install something called Sidequest onto your PC. In order for PS Remote Play to work on you’re Quest 2 headset, you’ll need an APK file.
What games can the Meta Quest 2 and PSVR play together?
There is no definitive list, so your best bet is to look out for games for these platforms that offer ‘Crossplay’ between the two. For shooters, you might want to check out are Alvo by Mardonpol Inc. For your more ambient and relaxed gamer, perhaps look at No Man’s Sky by Hello Games. As for strategy games, Star Trek: Bridge Crew by Ubisoft is also available.
What PSVR games require 2 move controllers?
You do not need PS Move controllers in order for the PSVR to function. However, as titles become more immersive, it’s more than likely that in order to have a fulfilling experience with the PSVR, both hands will need to be calibrated with two PS Move controllers in order to track both hands movement.
Can two people play the PSVR 2 at the same time?
Unfortunately, only a single headset can be connected to the PlayStation. For now, no VR games for the PlayStation will allow multiple players to simultaneously use VR on the same unit.
Will PSVR 2 need a camera?
No external cameras are needed for the PSVR 2 to operate. There are in fact four embedded cameras within the headset which function as the indicators of your eye movement and directional movement that are translated in-game.
