We've made a point of highlighting the slightly poor amount of games hitting PlayStation VR over the past couple of months. It feels like the big releases have almost dried up completely when compared to last year's holiday season, which saw the likes of Astro Bot Rescue Mission becomes the headset's latest killer app. However, it looks like Sony is aware of this.
In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, it is stated that "the company remains committed to the category, with big offers planned around Black Friday and Christmas". Of course, this doesn't mean a slew of new PSVR games are suddenly about to be green-lit, but it's encouraging news ahead of a period that is lacking any big releases until Marvel's Iron Man VR in February 2020. At least there'll be a lot of new VR users that'll get to suit up as an Avenger in a couple of months time.
We already know that Sony has some virtual reality plans for the next generation, but it has become clear that it hasn't forgotten about those still playing on PlayStation 4. Are you hoping more high-profile PSVR are announced in the near future? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

They really need to try and make VR a tentpole feature of PS5. Anything but and I think it’s likely to fizzle out pretty quickly next gen.
@BarefootBowser pretty much. What else are they gunna say.
Ordered mine today for my younger brother's Christmas. No point getting it full price so got one second hand in mint condition. I think I'll get him Astro Bot since its supposed to be great and RIGS was free on PS Plus.
@BarefootBowser and yet here you are commenting.
@Lobbo95 his points totally valid though. Anyway, the “why are you commenting then ?” comment is so utterly completely dead.
It's possible the releases have dried up because Sony wants to hit the ground running with first party PSVR content on PS5. Given they have said the current PSVR is going to be compatible and not superseded soon.
This generation is coming to an end the focus should now be on PSVR 2. There are now better options than PSVR with more features
@kyleforrester87, @BarefootBowser
Maybe it is clickbait i don't know.
Sorry if i sounded rude, didn't mean to lash out to anyone. Too much negativity these days with gaming, and it just bothers me.
Again sorry.
@Lobbo95 no problem! 🤙🏻
Its been very quiet on the VR front for a while, this time last year I was using it non stop with the likes of Astro Bot and Tetris Effect. Hopefully they have some big plans for PS5
sounds awfull like the same Pr speak they said about the vita. i can see them forgetting about vr for the ps5
Would love a sequel to Blood and Truth
I cant see VR being abandoned. After the new gen i cant imagine the NEXT gen wont be heavily augmented or virtual
Vita situation all over again. No thanks, Sony. Call me when PS5 is here.
I just really hope Asgard's Wrath will be announced. Oh, and that game from the Rick & Morty creator may certainly go on sale.
Me, my 6yr old son and 8yr old daughter, (did I say 6 and 8? I meant 12, they're both 12 lol 😜) still use our headset regularly. So, price reductions are welcome for some of the games we're yet to experience. Obviously, new games are welcome too.
