More games are coming to the headset in March as well. On March 16, the bloody gladiator game Gorn will be ported to PSVR2. Nock: Bow + Arrow Soccer was also announced with a March 2023 release window; as its title suggests, this is a multiplayer VR game where players play soccer, but must use a bow and arrow as their primary interaction. Other PSVR2 launch window games coming over the next month or two include Before Your Eyes, Creed Rise to Glory: Championship Edition, No Man’s Sky, The Dark Pictures: Switchback, and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution.

Looking further out, this PlayStation Blog post also featured a couple of reveals that just had “2023” release windows. The most notable of those is Another Fisherman’s Tale, which is a follow-up to a 2019 narrative adventure VR game called A Fisherman’s Tale. The main gimmick of this sequel is that players can detach their limbs, opening up many new puzzle opportunities and solutions. Then there’s Hellsweeper VR, a fantasy action game from the developers of Arizona Sunshine as well as Sushi Ben, a VR game with a manga-inspired aesthetic about saving a Sushi Bar via a variety of VR activities like fishing, ghost hunting, table tennis, bug-catching, archery, and more.

A compelling game lineup will ultimately be what makes or breaks PlayStation VR2’s success,  so it’s nice to have a clear idea of its launch lineup and games coming soon after release. PlayStation VR2 will be released on February 22.

Under normal circumstances, we would have to wait until next week to get our drop of new PlayStation Plus games, but this is a special occasion. We're currently right at the start of the Days of Play event where Sony celebrates with tons of community events and huge discounts on PS5 games and accessories. The icing on the cake is that we're not only getting four new games for Essential members, but an additional four for Extra and two more for Premium, with several already available. That's a lot to keep up with if you weren't prepared for it, which is where I come in. We will have to wait for most of the games until Tuesday, but here are a few new games you can start playing over this weekend to start the celebrations early.
