News Does This Sony Patent Suggest It's Working on a Wireless PSVR?
Freedom
Virtual reality is pretty amazing in its current form, but there are definitely areas in which it can be improved. PlayStation VR does its best to limit the number of necessary wires, but depending on what you're playing, the physical connection can be anything from a nuisance to an outright danger. Needless to say, the sooner VR can go...

Hands On Borderlands 2 VR Is Much Better with the PSVR Aim Controller
The best way to play
Borderlands 2 VR launched last year and played perfectly fine with the DualShock 4 controller, but we weren’t fond of its PlayStation Move support. Unfortunately, the game lacked PSVR Aim Controller support at launch – despite frequent requests from fans for its implementation. Thankfully, developer Gearbox listened, and a...

Review Eden-Tomorrow - Lousy Gameplay Drags Down a Noteworthy Narrative
Just thinkin' about tomorrow
If it’s not an online focused multiplayer title, chances are the next PlayStation VR game you play is one that promises mystery, suspense, and intrigue as you explore a hostile alien world. They seem to be all the rage nowadays despite their questionable quality, and Eden-Tomorrow is no different. From developer Soul...
News Sony Ghosts Indie Dev Hoping to Port Game to PSVR
Studio close to giving up on PS4 port

News Expert+ Difficulty Arrives in New Update for Beat Saber on PSVR
Goodbye arms
We can all agree that Beat Saber is excellent fun. It even caused this author and editor Sammy Barker to lock horns in a high score battle, such is the addictive nature of this PSVR rhythm slasher. The only real trouble is the limited number of songs available to play; once you've mastered them all, what more is there to do? Well, you...
News Jupiter & Mars Is the Ecco the Dolphin Game You've Been Waiting For
Sea life centre

News Where Can You Buy PlayStation Move Controllers for PSVR?
Sony's motion wands are rarer than stardust
Sony’s illuminating PlayStation Move motion controllers are a non-essential part of the PlayStation VR experience, but if you want to get the most out of the virtual reality headset, then you’re going to need to pick up a pair. Some of the peripheral’s best games, like Beat Saber and SUPERHOT VR,...
News Beat Saber DLC Not As Easy to Implement As Expected, But Coming Soon
Deep cuts incoming
We can probably all agree that Beat Saber is the best thing since sliced bread, but its paltry 18 song soundtrack is arguably the worst thing about it. It’s a testament to the strength of the moment-to-moment gameplay that it makes such terrible songs entertaining to play, but there’s always been the promise of DLC on the way...

Who lives in a fish shanty over the sea?
Fishing in VR would be great, wouldn't it? While fishing video games have been around for decades, there’s a spirit to the sport that only VR could truly capture. Lounging around in a little wooden fishing boat and basking in nature while waiting for your next catch to nibble at your line would be made that...
Soapbox PSVR Bargain Adventure - One Man's Attempt to Reclaim His Gaming Glory Days
"I've gone from has-been to has-it-all"
Last autumn, my wife went away for a while.

Would that even be possible? How much would...
News Sony's Manchester Studio Is Small But Highly Experienced
Seemingly paired with London Studio
Do you remember Manchester Studio – or North West Studio, as it was originally named? The British-based first-party developer was established years ago and immediately attached to PlayStation VR, but we haven’t heard a peep out of it since. Well, job digging from Upload VR reveals that the team is still very...
News Cross-Platform Co-Op Stars in PSVR Sequel Dick Wilde 2
Buddy up with PC players
Dick Wilde was a pretty harmless PlayStation VR shooter, perhaps notable for featuring PSVR Aim Controller support during the peripheral’s early days.

Soapbox Beat Saber Has Brought Serious Beef to Push Square Towers
War never changes
There’s a battle brewing at Push Square Towers, and I’m not going to lose it.

While the songs...
News PSVR Quarterback Sim 2MD Is Getting a Free Social Screen Multiplayer Mode
Blue eighty
Even if you don’t like American football, we really recommend Truant Pixel’s arcade-themed quarterback release, 2MD VR Football. The game – which sees you attempting to work a two-minute drill against an increasingly stubborn defence – has an alarmingly accurate throwing mechanic, and you can even design your own plays before a...
News PSVR Gets Its First Officially Licensed Foot Controller
No, really
Locomotion can be a real headache with PlayStation VR, let’s be honest. The PSVR Aim Controller is great because it comes with dual analogue sticks, but the PlayStation Move wands tend to rely on tilting or teleportation – a mechanic that not everyone’s fond of. Here comes a novel solution in the form of a foot controller called...
News Cult Interactive Gag Desert Bus Is Taking the Long Road to PSVR
Endurance run

Soapbox PSVR Quietly Had an Outstanding Year
Sammy reckons 2018 has been strong for VR
Rightly or wrongly, Sony’s earned a reputation for scrapping unsuccessful products. I don’t think it’s always fair because, when you see the sales data on PS Vita’s software for example, you can’t really expect a company to keep throwing cash at a system that’s clearly never going to stick. That...

Review Borderlands 2 VR - A Handsome Adaptation
You don't know Jack
Sony’s not stupid, and it seems to recognise that titles like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Borderlands 2 VR need to exist in order to get potential PlayStation VR adopters through the door.

Review Gungrave VR - Don't Rise from Your Grave
Grave Danger
“Not another virtual reality shooter,” we hear you sigh. Yes, another one, but this time with a relatively recognisable name tacked on: Gungrave.

What's old is new again
Something exciting is happening on PlayStation VR right now. A couple of years into its life, we’re starting to see developers really get to grips with the hardware.
