What upcoming PSVR games are releasing in 2019? Sony collated a sensational lineup of PlayStation VR software in 2018, with titles like Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Beat Saber being genuine Game of the Year candidates. But with the accessory more affordable than ever and an ever-expanding catalogue of must-play titles, we’ve compiled a list of forthcoming PSVR releases that simply must be on your radar.
Audica
From Harmonix comes a new rhythm action game for PSVR. The easiest way to explain it is that it's like Beat Saber but with guns. Wielding dual pistols, you'll need to shoot targets in time with an electro-pop soundtrack, although we're sure there will be more to it than that. Harmonix has been making rhythm games for a long time, so we trust this will be one to watch.
Budget Cuts
Budget Cuts was a big hit with VR owners playing on PC, and it's been confirmed for a 2019 release on PSVR. It's a first person stealth action game in which you must avoid killer robots and escape the confines of your office building. It's an odd premise, but this title is highly acclaimed. We're looking forward to seeing what the fuss is about.

Concrete Genie
Okay, this is primarily a standard PS4 game, but it's set to feature some pretty robust PSVR modes. In this painterly action adventure, you can pop on your headset and create your very own masterpieces in a virtual space. There's also a mode in which you must guide one of the titular genies through a 3D landscape, painting your way to solving environmental puzzles. It might not be a full-on PSVR game, but what's here sounds pretty good.
Dreams
It was up in the air for a short time, but Media Molecule recently pledged to support Sony’s virtual reality headset at launch. And what could possibly be more exciting than putting the power of the peripheral in the hands of fans? Titles like Tilt Brush have already proven the potential of VR painting, but Dreams promises to elevate all of those possibilities to a new level.
Golem
Not too much is really known about Golem, and yet it solidifies its place on this list thanks to its potential alone. You'll take control of giant stone creatures as you explore the world and do battle in huge sword fights, and with a team at Highwire Games comprised of former Bungie employees at the helm, you could say that this PSVR title is in safe and rocky hands.

I can't wait for Tetris Effect.
Danny Dyer?
Ghost Giant,Star Child and Vacation Simulator are ones I'm excited for.Interested in Blood and Truth too plus a few others.Looks like VR gaming is still going strong!
But no mention of that Robot Rescue game?That is one game I WILL be buying day one.
@Wazeddie22 Bloody hell how could we miss that? Adding it now, thank you!
@get2sammyb Dreams will now support VR at launch.
I'm interested in quite a few of these, but Tetris Effect and Astro Bot are at the top of my list.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Whoops, also updated that. Thanks!
Seriously most these games interest me to be fair. Definitely getting Dreams, Astro Bot, Tetris and maybe another couple day one.
Will probably pick up most the others too depending on reviews and price. Looking forward to Star Child ever since I tried the demo. Blood and Truth, Vacation Simulator, that Ghost Hand game, Transference, Beat Saber... Omg so many. 😀
Also, I love that you guys are doing posts like this. Keeps VR in mind. And reminds me how well PSVR is doing in terms of content.
Have to say, this is one really good looking list of games. Quite a few of these have some serious potential.
Don’t forget about Seeking Dawn.
What about Firewall Zero Hour?
Tetris Effect! We'll get Robot Rescue for sure too. That's my son's very favorite little game in VR hands down.
I always wanted to play ZOE when it came out, but I was completely broke at the time. Now that I'm an adult and I have a PSVR/money, I have 2nd Runner Mars preordered on Amazon so I'm pretty excited.
Ya know, I'm glad I took the jump into PSVR. There are a good number of games here that I'm looking forward to playing.
I've been waiting for a decent VR game for a very long time. VR goggles that I have bought for a year and a half are unused.
couple with potential there but i bought a psvr for ace combat 7.........still waiting!
So many good games.
Pixel Ripped 1989 is one I want!
@get2sammyb TL:DR; is Tetris Effect only going to utilise the PSVR? Is there going to be a standard TV mode where it can be played? I love a good Tetris game and Tetris Effect looks phenomenal, but I don't have a PSVR.
@Turismo4GT Yeah, you don't need PSVR.
@get2sammyb awesome, cheers.
I've started playing The Persistence and it's so good! Easily one of my favourite psvr games.
@LieutenantFatman Yeah it’s fun!
Updated!
Oh yeah I keep forgetting PSVR exists!
Still not to many I want here, Astro Bot, but waiting to hear if they kept in the couch co-op of the original, and Dreams, but not b/c of VR.
I still feel like VR is missing out on fun light gun games like Jurassic Park and Deadstorm Pirates. I just want to have fun shooting colorful things. They could at least port "The Shoot" and "Time Crisis:Razing Storm". Or any of the "House of the Dead" games.
Heck make something fun like Crazy Taxi VR.
@get2sammyb Starbear: Taxi is supposed to be coming to PSVR later this year. You can probably drop these guys an email and ask for a release date, they'd probably love the exposure of a PS article.

@rjejr I've been saying the same thing. Namco could make some cracking VR games, keep the same aesthetics and bang out some Time Crisis and Point Blank games.
Speaking of Crazy Taxi VR, is development on The Modern Zombie Taxi Company ever going to get going again? There were rumours of Japan Studio taking over, but it's been dark for over a year now.
After Tetris Effect, I most intrigued by Transference and Deracine. I love PSVR, but don't spend enough time in it to truly get VR legs. Weirdly though, I get less kituon sick ess with Thumper in VR than I do with standard Thumper.
Going to have to have a bake sale to make some money because I sure like all these games. Going to cost me a few bucks.
Is Bow to Blood multiplayer only, or is there single player content too?
Dreams beta when!?!??!
we shall see if blood and truth comes out in 2019, if it does i will eat my PSVR.
@Octane don't get too excited, PSVR support will not be in the beta last time i heard, 0 interest after that.
@huyi Very true. That comment was just part of my daily Dreams beta rant, don't worry about it.
ah ok then lol
@SoulChimera not only namco, sega too, the only thing sega has planned is space channel 5 for PSVR, they have ignored all other franchises that could come to PSVR and it's frustrating.
Looking forward to a few of these such as Blood and Truth, Dreams which looks phenomenal, Vacation Simulator too I just hope they improve the tracking from Job Simulator which is surprisingly ropey compared to recent titles. A Fisherman's Tale looks interesting too and I didn't even know about Wolfenstein until now. There's still a few VR games I need to catch up with such as Moss and The Persistence and Polybius, maybe even Pixel Ripped so with only Resident Evil 2 on the horizon for traditional games I could be getting quite a bit of use out of my headset
Blood & truth, falcon age, vacation simulator and dreams....
It seems I'll use psvr a lot more next year
The only games that VR is suitable for are racing/flying/diving games where player sit in a cockpit. Thus today there're only 2 fully-fledged PV games: DriveClub and Dirt Rally. Hope PS5 will make it possible to play GTSport in VR fully-fledged too.
Don't forget minotaur arcade VOL 1 from llamasoft. It includes goat up and gridrunner and will be about £6 for the pair. It's from the same creator as polybius and tempest 4000 so should be good old fashioned fun with brain melting vr action.
PC out 21st of December so ps4 won't be far away.
Is the everybody's golf one an update to the one that's out now, or is it a brand new title in the series? Can't wait for that one and Dreams though, and interested in the ace combat 7 one.
@OptiMystik you've never actually used a PSVR have you...
What’s going on with Blood and Truth? Seems to have disappeared with no news announced at all?
@Wazeddie22 robot rescue? what is that like? i will have to look that one up.
ah, nevermind, old post still interesting though, never heard of that one, any new release dates for upcoming games?
@huyi That's the trouble when old articles suddenly appear in the Latest News!
But to answer your question I actually meant Astrobot when I posted that which is by far my favourite VR game so far.An excellent platformer/Adventure which everybody needs to play if you have VR!
I GOT PSVR YESTERDAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!! OMGGGGGGGGGG. I got the moss, astro bot rescue mission bundle!!!! Moss is so incredibly cute and such a delight 😀 havent tried the other yet.
Bought a bunch of other games in the holiday psn sale while i have the chance. Playing skyrim in vr is just crazy!! And my good god wipeout (with all options set to its FULL motion sickening glory) is the most exilerating thing ive ever experienced!!!
having got that out of the way, im looking forward to more horror games and more full fledged games like fighters or 3rd person adventure games etc.
@Wazeddie22 yeah i can see he meant astro bot now the name difference up to then and now makes it confusing.
@get2sammyb that and ace combat 7
Updated
Goat up and gridrunner?
Cant wait for ghost giant! Also does anyone have a used aim gun controller for sale? They are soooo expensive here in canada, and kind of hard to find
Hope there's someone just sitting there waiting for No Man's Sky VR. I know I can't wait. Revamped and new cockpits for ships and Exocraft, additional visual and/or physical features, and more we haven't heard of yet. It's gonna be fun!
Kinda expecting Deemo to be here.
I feel like we need a few new VR game announcements. It's getting a little quieter recently.
Need more quality sports games that have head to head online play. I’ve been clamoring for a VR Sports Champions for a while. Everybody’s Golf is great, 2MD VR Football is fantastic, someone needs to step up and make more sports titles happen.
PSVR was really gaining momentum last year but things have been very quiet in 2019, i'm hoping we get a lot of new announcements soon, Ironman is the only game i'm excited about in this list.
