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.

More than a year after its Computex 2025 debut, the Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition gaming mouse is finally ready to launch. Sales begin through Pulsar’s online store on July 21 at 4 p.m. KST, although pricing has not yet been announced.

We also saw the mouse at Computex 2026, where it appeared much closer to a finished retail product. Its defining feature remains the tiny Noctua fan built into the shell, designed to push air toward your palm during long gaming sessions.

Gaming against AI could make you more confident with real teammates
Turns out getting beaten by bots wasn't the worst thing after all

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.

Sony is preparing to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, ending new purchases globally by July 2027. Less than two weeks after that announcement, the team behind RPCS3 revealed a very different milestone.

The open-source PS3 emulator now lists 75% of the console’s tracked library as playable on PC. That covers 2,681 of 3,559 games, and the rating means they can be completed with acceptable performance and no game-breaking glitches.
