Resident Evil Village and Among Us join PS VR2’s launch lineup

PLAYSTATION has announced a number of games that will be launching alongside the PS VR2.

Fans have criticised PlayStation’s upcoming VR headset, both for its lack of launch games, and its high price point.

Pre-orders for the PS VR2 are now live, and the hardware will launch on February 22, 2022.

It costs £529.99 ($549.99) with two controllers, and players are required to own a PS5 in order to play.

The headset was also criticised for its lack of launch games, with the main release being Horizon Call of the Mountain, which will be a PlayStation exclusive.

However, PlayStation has revealed a number of big name titles that will be launching with the PS VR2.

One is the VR version of Resident Evil Village, adding an even more terrifying way to play the popular horror game.

Moss 1 and 2 were also announced. Moss was one of the original PS VR’s best games, and Moss 2 recently won for VR game of the year at The Game Awards.

The recently released version of Among Us for VR was also announced to be available on PS VR2 at launch.

Aside from Call of the Mountain, other games were previously announced for PS VR2 at launch.

A new game which is a spin-off of The Dark Pictures Anthology, called Switchback, will be a PS VR2 exclusive, much like the Until Dawn spin-off that was on PlayStation’s first VR headset.

Originally released for Oculus Quest in 2020, Star Wars Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge will also be available at launch.

PS VR2 offers a number of improvements over its predecessor, including a large screen and a wider field of view.

Haptic feedback, PlayStation’s innovative rumble system will also be available inside the headset.

A number of adjustments have also been made to increase comfort for glasses wearers and those who suffer from motion sickness.

The original headset sold just 5million units in its lifetime, with PlayStation claiming its development is more about innovation than sales.
