Appropriately named Dutch developer Better Than Life’s beautiful watersports sim Kayak VR: Mirage was the best-selling PSVR2 launch title, according to data published by the PS Blog. The stunning release topped the charts in both North America and Europe, although the data does exclude titles eligible for free upgrades.
Tastes were pretty similar across both sides of the Atlantic, with tactical shooter Pavlov VR finishing in second, and the bundled Horizon Call of the Mountain coming third. Other games off to a strong start included Moss: Book II, Pistol Whip, and Drums Rock. It’ll be interesting to see how these charts change over the coming months, with PSVR2’s release schedule looking stacked.

I have it but, honestly, wouldn’t recommend it. There is very little game there and the supposed photorealistic graphics suffer from a bad case of reprojection doubling to my eyes (although most others don’t seem to notice).
Much better games available at launch to my taste.
@thefourfoldroot1 I think the pitch is infinitely more entertaining than the actual game. I was so excited for this.
Its so boring.
I like the game but I haven't played it since trying it at launch. It's chill but honestly boring
My lady loves drum rock, for me it’s GT7 just wow
Resi 8 has impressed me the most hoping re4 remake is full version in vr
@JP80 I’ve been wondering what the RE4VR mode will entail myself. If it’s the whole game then perfect 👌
These sales charts may not be too useful, considering most of the heavy hitters (NMS, GT7, ResE8, and a number of popular smaller titles) are all excluded from it. I am surprised Star Wars isn't on the upper end of the list, though because it's Star Wars, and it's also a great game. I know Pavlov is a big deal on PCVR, and it's also a great game, but I'm surprised that topped SW, Moss, and CotM.
Kayak is great though. There's no game, it's just a VR "experience" sandbox, but I find myself loading it up now and then just to get a thrill of speed on the water for a few moments as a palette cleanser between "real" games. Paddling to get to high speeds, jamming the paddle down and just pivoting on a dime is just exhilarating and often makes me feel like I'm really moving.
@Mikey856 it's gotta be the whole game hasn't it surely,wouldn't say no to a resi7 psvr2 patch as well while we wait 🙂
@NEStalgia This is the one time I wish Nintendo were involved in vr...wave race would blow this out of the water.
@JP80 hope so man. And considering the og version has a vr full game mode on quest I think?, so surely this is a given
NMS and GT7 were the real winners but most people with PSVR2 most likely already owned them or bought them early in sales in anticipation.
Wow. Even more than Call of the Mountain? That's impressive.
@JP80 im really hoping RE7 comes to PSVR2.
Bought it. Played it for 10 mins. Not in a rush to go back.
I've spent the most time playing RE8 followed by GT7. Can't wait for RE4 most of all. Kayak VR is ok but not an awful lot to it.
I didn’t know this game existed. If there were one title that would prompt me to buy PSVR2 this is probably it. This looks fun. And don’t misunderstand… Gran Turismo 7 is good fun too, but it lacks the sheer chaos that could occur in this game.
@CRASH64 Bundled game sales aren’t included either, and I think almost everyone that wanted Call of the Mountain bought the bundle.
Been loving Kayak VR myself. The racing is good fun. Been having some good fun casing the. Trophies too. I just love cranking up the heating, putting on my budgie smugglers and really believing I am in Costa Rica!
@JP80 i have Res Evil 4 on Oculus Quest 2. Onvs it’d be more visually impressive on PSVR2 but it’s very good.
It's a cool experience and nice to just chill and take in the scenery, I haven't played it as much as I thought I would though. It's also been a brutal reminder of how unfit I have become lol
@sjbsixpack Haven't tried the quest headset but will see how the quest 3 compares to psvr2
