Pre-orders for PlayStation VR2 have begun today if you were lucky enough to get an invite from Sony that is. If you have managed to receive an invite you’ll be able to order the PS VR2 headset with the Sense controller or The PS VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain. You’ll also be able to pre-order the Sense controller charging station. But that’s not all, there are also some PS VR2 games that you can pre-order as well.
Here is the current list of PS VR2 games you can pre-order from the PlayStation Store and their prices.
PS VR2 Launch Games: PS VR2 games you can pre-order
All of the games listed below will release on February 22nd, 2023 with the exception of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Ch 2 which is releasing on 21st March 2023. It’s still a launch window game though. Bear in mind that Sony requires an upfront payment when pre-ordering games from the PlayStation Store. Also, these are digital games and won’t ever be out of stock so there is no real reason to pre-order unless you want to save a few quid with the PS Plus discounts that are available for some games.
The games listed below have prices and are launch games you can pre-order right now.
Horizon Call of The Mountain
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £59.99
PlayStation Store link
Horizon Call of the Mountain sounds like it will be an epic VR adventure set in the Horizon universe. Although you don’t play as Aloy in this game, you do meet her at some point. The game will elt you conquer massive peaks and take on fearsome machines as you experience the world of Horizon from a new perspective.
The individual price of Horizon Call of the Mountain is quite a bit more than the other PS VR2 games listed here. With a price of £60.00, you are definitely better off pre-ordering the Horizon Call of the Mountain PS VR2 bundle at £570.00 as you will essentially get the game for £40.00 saving yourself £20.00.
Developer Guerrilla Games has said that more news on Horizon Call of the Mountain will come this week.
Cities VR – Enhanced Edition
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £24.99 (£22.49 with PS Plus discount)
PlayStation Store link
Cities VR is essentially Cities Skylines in Virtual Reality. You can design neighbourhoods and construct buildings and even do some traffic management. There’s also the economic side of things to manage as well. If you’ve ever wanted to be a city planner then this might be the game for you. Cities VR is priced at a reasonable £24.99 and you can even save a bit with a PS Plus discount. The discount ends of release day though so you’ll need to pre-order for the saving.
Tentacular
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £19.99 (£17.99 with PS Plus discount)
PlayStation Store link
Tentacular lets you play as a giant tentacled Squid trying to find his place in the world. The game features tactile, physics-based tentacles and 50+ puzzles and action levels. Tentacular is another reasonably priced PS VR2 launch game at £19.99 or you can save £2.00 by pre-ordering if you have a PS Plus membership/
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution
Release Date: 21/3/2023
Price: £32.99 (base game), £49.99 (Ch 1 & 2 Deluxe Edition), £39.99 (payback edition)
PlayStation Store link
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Ch2 Retribution is probably my most anticipated PS VR2 game, even more than Horizon Call of the Mountain. I absolutely loved the first game on PS VR and even managed to get the Platinum trophy. Chapter 2: Retribution looks set to be even bigger and better than the first game with it using the Power of PS5 and the PS VR2’s tech.
Chapter 2: Retribution has three editions to choose from: The standard, base game edition, A deluxe Edition that has the previous game and chapter 2 and the Payback edition which has the base game and comes with weapon recipes and a couple of other in-game items.
Hello Neighbour: Search and Rescue
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £24.99 (£22.49 with PS Plus discount)
PlayStation Store link
Hello Neighbour: Search and Rescue promised to be a groundbreaking VR horror-puzzler where you have to sneak into your neighbour’s house to rescue your friend. It’s another reasonably priced PS VR2 launch title at £24.99 or you can save £2.50 if you pre-order and have a PS Plus subscription.
Cosmonious High
Release Date: 22/3/2023
Price: £29.99 (£23.99 with PS Plus discount)
PlayStation Store link
Cosmonious High comes from the developers of PS VR titles Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator so this will probably be pretty good and filled with laughs and other physics-based hilarity. Cosmonious High is the second most discounted game on this list and you can save £6 if you are pre-ordering with your PS Plus membership.
Demeo
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £32.99 (£26.39 with PS Plus discount)
PlayStation Store link
Demeo is an online co-op adventure game for up to four players where you can take on the role of either an Assassin, Guardian, Hunter or Sorcerer. Being an online co-op game makes it unappealing to me but I’m sure loads of other players will probably find it fun. Demeo is the most discounted game on this list and you can save yourself a whopping £6.60 if you pre-order and have a PS Plus subscription.
The Light Brigade
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £19.99 (£16.99 with PS Plus discount)
PlayStation Store link
The Light Brigade is an action-shooter with some strategic elements and physics-based gunplay in an atmospheric roguelike shooter. The Light Brigade is another reasonably priced PS VR2 launch game that also has a £3.00 discount if you pre-order and have a PS Plus subscription.
Zenith: The Last City
Release Date: 22/3/2023
Price: £21.99 (free upgrade for PS4/PS VR owners)
PlayStation Store link
Zenith: The Last City is an open-world VR MMO where endless adventure awaits. The game is reasonably priced at £21.99 and includes a free upgrade to the PS5/PS VR2 version if you own the PS4/PS VR version, which is pretty nice.

Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £39.99
PlayStation Store link
Star Wars Tales from the Galaxies Edge puts you in your own Star Wars story. Play as a droid repair technician and take on missions in the Batuu wilds, face off against Guavian Death Gangs, infiltrate a First Order facility and travel to other eras in the galaxy. The game is priced at £32.99 but it does look like it might be worth the money.
Kayak VR: Mirage
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: TBC
PlayStation Store link
Kayak VR: Mirage is a jaw-dropping and exhilarating journey through beautiful and unique locations tailor-made for VR. It certainly does look jaw-droppingly stunning, in fact, in this review on PC VR the reviewer called it “the best-looking VR game ever.”
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £32.99
PlayStation Store Link
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is a VR rollercoaster action-horror shooter where you face off against terrifying antagonists from the Dark Pictures games. Basically, it’s an on-rails shooter similar to Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. The monsters shown in the screenshots do look pretty terrifying.
Moss and Moss Book II Bundle
Release Date: 22/2/2023
Price: £32.49 (£29.24 with PS Plus discount)
PlayStation Store Link
Heroic mouse Quill makes her debut on PS5 and PS VR2 with the Moss and Moss Book II Bundle. Developers Polyarc has added some extra PS5 and PS VR2 features such as haptics, adaptive triggers, eye-tracking and foveated rendering. Both Moss games are tremendous and I highly recommend trying them out on PS VR2.

PlayStation Store link
Hello Games’ excellent space exploration game is getting a PS VR2 update which will be completely free. No Man’s Sky is already on PS4, PS VR and PS5. The PS VR2 version sounds like the immersion will be incredible and I can’t wait to go exploring in PS VR2. You’ll need to own the PS4 or PS5 version to get the update (the PS5 version was also a free update for PS4 owners.)
Resident Evil Village VR Mode
Release Date: 22/2/2023

Resident Evil Village VR Mode for PS VR2 will be launched alongside the headset as a free DLC. The VR mode promises much deeper immersion utilizing the PS VR2’s powerful features alongside the Sense controllers.
The free VR mode DLC will be available to download separately, there is no pre-order link.

Other Announced PS VR2 Games
That is all the PS VR2 games that have prices and that you can pre-order right now. There are other games that are showing on the PlayStation Store that are “announced” but have no prices and are not available for pre-order yet. These are:
Hopefully, these games will get release dates, prices and pre-order links soon to fill out the PlayStation VR2 launch lineup a bit.
Out of the launch games listed above, there are only really three that I am particularly interested in; Horizon Call of the Mountain, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Ch2 Retribution and Stars Wars Tales from the Galaxies Edge. Right now, the PS VR2 launch lineup is looking a little sparse with probably the aforementioned three games being potential system sellers.
There are lots more games confirmed for PS VR2 though, so hopefully, some of these will get launch dates and further information as we move closer to the launch of PlayStation VR2.
