Sony recently announced a successor to its PSVR headset that will "enable the ultimate entertainment experience with dramatic leaps in performance and interactivity". But that doesn’t mean it’s giving up on the aging PS4 peripheral just yet.
Sony said it was “delighted by the enthusiasm we saw from the community” around the recent announcement of its next-generation VR system, which we believe will be called PSVR 2.
The company has since revealed that six new PSVR games are on the way, with an announcement taking place every 30 minutes. We'll be updating this list over the course of today to round up all the standout titles that fans of virtual reality won’t want to miss.

Remember: the PSVR is compatible with the PS5, however, you’ll need to contact Sony to get a free special adapter if you plan on using the headset with the new PlayStation console.
Doom 3 VR: Edition - March 29
Attention, demon slayers! Doom 3, the first-person space shooter originally released for Windows back in 2004, is coming to PSVR. Doom 3: VR Edition will feature the original game and its expansions, Resurrection of Evil and The Lost Mission, but retooled for a VR experience.
Bethesda is helming the remaster (or “rebirth”, as it describes it), which will include a host of new gameplay mechanics designed to utilize the PSVR’s capabilities. You’ll be able to peer around corners and angle shots using the PSVR’s motion controls, avoid demons sneaking up on you from behind using the 180-degree quick-turn functionality and check in on a wrist-mounted display to track your health, armor and ammo.
Doom 3: VR Edition arrives on March 29 for PS4, and will be backwards compatible with PS5.

Escape reality
While many believed Sony might leave VR behind, it’s clear that the company is fully committed to bringing virtual reality to the masses. PSVR 2 will certainly be a more tempting proposition to newcomers and PS5 owners if it already has an established lineup of games at the time of release, and quality of life improvements such as only having one wire and a dedicated VR controller will only help its appeal.
