At CES 2023, Sony confirmed that there would be over 30 launch titles for PlayStation VR2. Today, we learned specifics on what exactly 37 of those PlayStation VR2 launch window games are on PlayStation Blog.

This announcement also contains 13 new titles that we didn’t know were coming to PlayStation VR before. Particular new highlights include Before Your Eyes, an emotionally moving game where blinking is the main form of interaction, Tetris Effect: Connected, a multiplayer-enhanced version of one the original PlayStation VR’s best games, and What the Bat?, a comedy game where the player’s arms are bats. Of course, the crown jewel of PlayStation VR2’s launch is still Horizon Call of the Mountain, a VR spin-off of one of PlayStation’s most successful recent franchises.

Overall, it’s a fairly solid lineup considering that PlayStation VR2 is not backward compatible with its predecessor; that said, it also means that its launch contains quite a few ports, which don’t elicit the same excitement as games like Horizon Call of the Mountain or Fantavision 202X. Hopefully, Sony continues to support the VR headset with interesting first and third-party exclusives.

PlayStation VR2, and many of the games in the launch window list, will be released on February 22.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.

Claude helped bring a PS2 emulator to the browser, and it can run GTA San Andreas
TabStationToo adapts PCSX2 for browser play, with the developers reporting near-full-speed performance in some games

Two friends have used Claude to help bring the open-source PS2 emulator PCSX2 to a browser. Their project, TabStationToo, has been tested with games including GTA San Andreas and Final Fantasy XII.

The developers say Claude did most of the programming while they directed the work and tested the results. It’s still experimental, but games run locally without installing a desktop emulator.
