Is Batman: Arkham Shadow coming to PSVR2?

Batman is one of the world’s most beloved superheroes, so it goes without saying that a new entry in the long-running Arkham franchise is exciting for fans. The VR-only title Batman: Arkham Shadow sees players take control of The Dark Knight himself in a new adventure on Meta Quest 3, giving you the chance to live out your first-person fantasy of beating down Gotham City’s worst baddies. But if you’re curious about whether the game will ever make it to other headsets like PSVR2, you may be a bit disappointed… at least for now.

Is Batman: Arkham Shadow ever coming to PSVR2?

It appears unlikely that Batman: Arkham Shadow game will make its way to Sony’s PSVR2 (or any other VR headsets) anytime soon. That being said, while developer Camouflaj currently maintains that the game is a Meta Quest 3 exclusive, it’s always possible that this exclusivity could be timed. There is no evidence of the game coming to PSVR2 yet, but given the popularity of Batman as a superhero, it’s reasonable to assume that the caped crusader’s VR-centric title could make it to other headsets, including PSVR2, at some point down the line.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Batman: Arkham Shadow is also not available on older Meta Quest headsets, meaning you’ll be required to own a Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S to play the game. However, those who buy one of these two headsets between September 25, 2024, and April 30, 2025, will receive the game as a free pack-in. So if you haven’t picked up Meta’s popular VR headset yet and want to slink around in the shadows as Batman, now is a great time to make it happen.

Another great Activision game comes to Xbox Game Pass this month
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

Microsoft has revealed the first wave of Xbox Game Pass titles coming to the subscription service this August. While we already knew about Creatures of Ava and Mafia: Definitive Edition'sĀ impending additions to Xbox Game Pass, we also learned that another Activision Blizzard game is coming: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

Originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy revamped Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot games for what were then current-gen platforms. It toed the line between remaster and remake as the visuals got a complete overhaul, but it was extremely faithful when it came to gameplay and level design. Regardless, the first three Crash Bandicoot games are fantastic, so N. Sane Trilogy is as well.
