High in the sky
How We Soar is a wonderfully well-crafted virtual reality game that follows the journey of an author, through his struggles of trying to write his first novel.

Video Is NBA 2KVR Experience on PS4 a Slam Dunk?
Basket case
There are times in this industry where the press junket building up to a release is overblown – just take a look at The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV, for example – but NBA 2KVR Experience has gone in the opposite direction. Leaked on Trophy websites over the weekend, the 2K Sports published spin-off is out today – but is it...

News NBA 2K Will Surprise Slam Dunk PlayStation VR
A load of hoopla
This is unexpected: Trophies have leaked for a game called NBA 2KVR Experience.

Manic miner
PlayStation VR's received a steady stream of new content since its launch last month, and the latest to make the cut is Space Rift – the first episode of a narrative-driven, sci-fi adventure.

News PlayStation VR Is Now Sold Out at Amazon UK Until 2017
Virtual insanity
If you were hoping to snag a PlayStation VR headset from Amazon UK prior to Christmas… Well, don't even bother trying: the site has exhausted all of its stock until Early 2017. While it temporarily said a similar thing about the PlayStation 4 Pro, it appears it's dead serious about Sony's virtual reality accessory – the product...
Video Does Gran Turismo Sport Look Better on PlayStation VR Than DriveClub?
Yes, it does – on PS4 Pro, anyway
Evolution Studios clearly worked incredibly hard on DriveClub VR, but the results are… Not great.

It's...

Hands On Why Farpoint Should Be on Your PlayStation VR Wishlist
Take aim
Farpoint, the PlayStation VR exclusive from Impulse Gear, continues to really impress us.

Do a barrel roll
This is a nice touch from Activision: everyone can download Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's free Jackal Assault Experience virtual reality demo from the PlayStation Store now.

Tears for fears
As a dark comedy, Weeping Doll would be just about the most amusing game on PlayStation VR right now – and that's high praise considering that the platform already plays host to the genuinely hilarious Job Simulator and Headmaster. But somehow we don't think that Chinese outfit TianShe Media had funnies in mind when it made this...
Video Weeping Doll Has the Worst Voice Acting on PS4
Cry baby
Lara Croft is no longer the worst voiced character on PlayStation 4; that Golden Raspberry's been scooped up by Artong [No idea how you spell that one – Ed] in Weeping Doll, a new PlayStation VR horror game launched this week. This is very much a game in the same vein as P.T. or Layers of Fear, but the dialogue kills any sense of...

Virtual revolution?
It's been two weeks since PlayStation VR released, and the headset is pretty much sold out around the world.

News PlayStation VR Shifted Over 50,000 Units at Launch in Japan
VReasonable
PlayStation VR got off to a solid if unspectacular start in Japan, with the futuristic facemask shifting 51,644 units during its first week on sale. Reports coming out of the East suggest that the accessory is totally sold out, so this is likely the sum of what Sony shipped to its home region. PlayStation VR Worlds moved a disappointing...
Review Harmonix Music VR (PS4)
Off-beat?
As part of the launch lineup for Sony's PlayStation VR headset, there are a wealth of games, alongside some less interactive experiences. In between each of these is Harmonix Music VR, which fits neither bracket. The package boasts several different types of experience for you to mess around with. All of them involve playing music and...
This 100ft bogey’s all over me
Golf, eh? A gentleman's game, leisurely paced and frightfully mannered. Not the sort of real world sport you might immediately think to add giant mech suits and mass destruction to – but 100ft Robot Golf brings heavy metal mech mayhem to the PlayStation 4's first real-time PlayStation VR compatible golf game. The...
Guide How to Fix Blurry Images in PlayStation VR
Out of focus
PlayStation VR's resolution isn't flawless, so you're always going to get some degree of blurriness when wearing the headset.

Here are some things that you can try...
Feature PlayStation VR's Non-Games Include Dark Fairy Tales and Dancing Pop Stars
Allumette! Invasion! Kismet! VRideo!
PlayStation VR is a gaming platform first and foremost, but virtual reality is capable of so much more. Imagine a future where you're able to sit in the dugout alongside Jose Mourinho, as Manchester United lift the Champions League for a third time. Or perhaps where you're able to ride shotgun in Earth's first...
Back of the net
Every professional footballer goes through a bad run of form, but it's particularly problematic when you're a striker and the goals dry up.

Soapbox Summer Lesson Provides a Peek into the Future
Awkward but essential
I can't stop thinking about Summer Lesson. And before you start, this isn't a situation where I've had to go to bed wearing boxing gloves – I just mean that it's kind of amazing. While there isn't much "gameplay" to speak of here, it's clear that Bandai Namco has invested the bulk of its development budget into creating a...
News PlayStation VR Can Be Used with Wii U, Xbox One, PC
Well, kinda
You can use PlayStation VR's spiffy Cinematic Mode to enjoy non-virtual reality PlayStation 4 games using your expensive new purchase – but did you know that it also works with a PC, Xbox One, or Wii U?

An existential acid trip
Rez may have started life on the Dreamcast all the way back in 2001, but veteran Tetsuya Mizuguchi's synaesthesia shooter has finally found its true home on PlayStation VR.

It's a virtual reality
PlayStation VR is out now around the world, which means that we're able to stop telling you how amazing it is, while you experience it for yourself. We've reviewed the hardware, given our verdict on a half-dozen or so games, and even discussed stuff such as Cinematic Mode – but now it's your t

Video Rez Infinite Is PlayStation VR's Killer App
A masterpiece
Rez may have been kicking around since late 2001 on the Dreamcast, but despite launching on several platforms since – including the PlayStation 2 – it finally feels at home on PlayStation VR. While you can play this modernised version of the cult classic without Sony's spiffy headset, the fact of the matter is that Rez Infinite was...

Dino Crysis
Crytek will take you on a tour of a dinosaur-infested otherworld from 8th November in North America and 9th November in Europe, as that's when PlayStation VR exclusive Robinson: The Journey will release.

RIGS? DriveClub? Batman!
PlayStation VR has a gigantic launch lineup, and you're probably wondering which titles to buy right about now.

Video Unlock Your Inner-Alan Shearer with Headmaster on PS4
Back of the net
Alan Shearer knew how to head a football, and you can learn too if you play Headmaster for PlayStation VR.

It's a...
Video Does PlayStation VR Put the Ultra in Super Stardust?
Making its (House)marque
It's becoming tradition for a version of Super Stardust to launch alongside new Sony hardware, and PlayStation VR is no different.

Video Does PlayStation VR Work with Wireless Headphones?
Gold standard
While it was Cinematic Mode that many of you were asking about in our PlayStation VR review, we received a lot of queries about wireless headphones, too.

All work and no pay
As short-lived girl group The Saturdays once warbled, put your boots on baby and get to work. Some reviewers like to start their reviews by recycling the words of Charles Dickens; here at Push Square we prefer to borrow from the surprisingly short range of Ms. Mollie King. It's the kind of irreverence that we like to think Job...
Video Job Simulator's Some of the Dumbest Fun You'll Find on PS4
Working out
The simulator gag has gotten stale, but Job Simulator brings enough laughs to the novelty genre to land a new punchline. This bonkers work-'em-up is set in the future, where robots simulate the menial tasks of today with a disregard for details. This means that, while you'll be carrying out tedious tasks such as making soup and fixing...
Hands On Does PlayStation VR Really Have Tracking Issues?
Dreaded drift
In some ways, it's a shame that the PlayStation VR embargo had to lift. We'd encountered problems with the headset prior to this week's verdicts, which we outlined in our review: the resolution of the screen, the number of cables, and the flawed nature of the PlayStation Move controllers. But we hadn't encountered any tracking issues...
News PlayStation VR Will Play Host to More Than Just Games
Sony outlines full roster of experiences, too
PlayStation VR may be all about the games, but the reality is that virtual reality has a greater role to play than that.

Hands On Playing Non-VR PS4 Games on PlayStation VR
Putting the Cinematic Mode through its paces
Without any shadow of a doubt, the biggest question we received after publishing our PlayStation VR review this week pertained to Cinematic Mode, the feature which allows you to play non-virtual reality games inside the headset on a simulated cinema screen. But what features can you use in this mode –...
Review Batman: Arkham VR (PS4)
Behind the mask
Rocksteady's never been shy depicting Batman as the mentally deranged individual that he so clearly is, and with the British studio back on development duties for this short virtual reality story, it's Bruce Wayne's busted psyche that once again takes centre stage. Batman: Arkham VR may only take you about an hour to see through, but...
Video Watch Us Become the Batman with PlayStation VR
Caped crusader
Batman: Arkham VR very much falls under the "experience" category rather than a full-fledged game, but how much would you pay to be the Dark Knight for an hour? Well, developer Rocksteady's charging $19.99/£15.99 for this, which certainly looks steep on the surface, but it's by far one of the best examples of virtual reality so far...
Review PlayStation VR Worlds (PS4)
A worldie?
No new hardware launch is complete without a minigame collection; PlayStation VR Worlds, however, is not your average Wii Sports knock-off. Developed by Sony's own London Studio, this is a hodgepodge package collating the half-dozen or so tech demos that the studio has concocted over the years. As such, while the compilation includes some...
Review Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (PS4)
Ghost train
The camp thrills of Supermassive Games' interactive horror Until Dawn elevated it to a status that few expected; the deliciously dumb drama out-Quantic Dreamed the real Quantic Dream, and the silly scare-fest still very much sits among the very best experiences that the PlayStation 4 has to offer. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, a virtual...
News Sony Exploring the Possibility of Free PlayStation VR Games on PlayStation Plus
Nothing to share at this time, though
There's no question that the past couple of months have been kind to PlayStation Plus, with the lineup in September and October really taking a step back towards the series' very best days.

News PlayStation VR Will Provide Some Headaches for People with HDR Displays
Time to change your cables
While we're technically under embargo, we can probably just about get away with saying that PlayStation VR's setup has some… Minor shortcomings.

Video Watch Us Unbox PlayStation VR
Wide open spaces
Apparently, our previous article about this PlayStation VR unboxing video wasn't search engine optimised quite as well as the powers to be would like, so because there's nothing else going on today, we're republishing this under a better headline. Look, at least we're completely honest with you, eh?
Video PlayStation VR Comes with an Absurd Number of Cables
Spaghetti junction
We weren't going to do a PlayStation VR unboxing because tons of better websites with better camera gear already have that corner of the market on lock. But you know what? We were going to take the headset out of its box anyway, so why not film it? We're gunning for the rudimentary, hobbyist sector of YouTube with this clip. In...

Soapbox I Played PlayStation VR for Over an Hour and Didn't Chunder
Sammy's not seasick
Until this week, my time with PlayStation VR had been very limited. The longest I'd probably spent strapped in to the headset in one session was maybe 15 minutes, so I hadn't really had an opportunity to test how it feels to play virtual reality in extended sittings. Luckily, I was invited up to Rebellion on Wednesday, where I...

LV(R)G
As the launch of PlayStation VR lurches ever closer, it's interesting to think about where this technology is headed.

Case in point: Louis van Gaal, the former manager of...

The game – by the brilliantly named Tangentlemen – has been incubated by Sony Santa Monica, and if...
Feature PlayStation VR Has the Power to Elicit Real-World Reactions
Don't look down
There are two things that make virtual reality extra impressive: scale and physical reactions. As we've said so many times, you really need to wear the headset to understand just how affecting these assets are, but we also appreciate that it's not easy for everyone to get eyes-on time with the device. As such, we've already tried to...

Guess who's back?

News Sony's Bringing Tons of PS4, PlayStation VR Games to Gamescom 2016
Resident Evil 7! Titanfall 2! PlayStation VR!
It's going to be a strange Gamescom yet again.

Of course, the platform holder...

News Does PlayStation VR Require 60-Square-Feet of Space?
Space race
Reports around the web suggest that PlayStation VR won't function unless you have 60-square-feet of space to spare – but are they accurate?

News Sony Changes Stance on PlayStation VR Controller Support
Move aside
Sony's still very much prone to bloopers as well, as it mucked up its messaging on PlayStation VR controller support this week.

Apparently that's not quite the case – it

You can't be serious?
Tennis, one of the most popular sports in the world, is sorely underrepresented in the video game space.
