Sony will start shipping PS VR2 in little over a month and it has revealed more details about games coming to the platform as well as the launch lineup. The company has confirmed 13 additional titles for PS VR2, all of which are already available on PS VR or other platforms.
Tetris Effect: Connected, Rez Infiniteand Thumperare among the original PS VR titles that will hit the new headset. Those who already own Tetris Effect or Rez Infinite for PS4 and PS VR will be able to upgrade to the PS5 (they’re playable without the headset) and PS VR2 version for $10 — PS VR versions aren’t compatible with the new hardware.
In Rez Infinite, you’ll be able to track and aim at enemies using your eyes. PS VR2’s eye tracking will also be at the forefront in Before Your Eyes, a game that advances time when you blink.
