With the package re-using existing PlayStation peripherals such as the PlayStation Move controllers and PlayStation Camera, the PSVR headset itself was sold separately in some instances, despite the other components being vital parts of getting everything up-and-running.

Some of these titles were more fun than others, obviously, but all of them made the same point: PSVR doesn't suck.īefore we go on talking about PlayStation VR's finer points (and foibles), let's get the basics out of the way.Īt launch, the PlayStation VR headset had a slightly confusing sales proposition.

We've now tried dozens of games on the PlayStation VR console, from Rocksteady's impressive (but short) Batman: Arkham VR, to the laugh-out-loud funny Job Simulator, to the tear-jerking Wayward Sky and even gun-peripheral-toting horror game Farpoint VR. When you think about it, it really is remarkable that the affordable PSVR solution is as capable as it is. It has its problems, but by and large the PlayStation VR proves that not only is console VR viable, it's actually enjoyable, too. Go was a good VR intro for many - it's now discontinued - but it doesn't match up. Different story for Oculus Quest 2, though. While Oculus Rift has closed in on the cost disparity, the PSVR only requires a PS4 console to run, not an expensive PC setup. The Oculus Go doesn't offer the immersive gaming quality the PSVR does. For now at least, the PlayStation VR is truly different to anything else on the market.
