Check out this guide to find out the release dates for every major video game coming out in 2024.
In a November 18 post on the official PlayStation blog, Sony announced the indie puzzle game Mare is now available on PS VR2 in two modes: Classic and Enhanced. In Classic mode, players use the headset’s eye-tracking functionality to solve puzzles. Enhanced brings the system’s Sense controllers into the equation, though some users have reported issues with the PS VR2 controllers in the past. Being able to pick between control options could provide a work around such problems by letting players avoid the more complex tech aspects entirely.
Upcoming PlayStation VR2 Releases
- Mare – out now
- Trombone Champ: Unflattened – November 26, 2024
- Masters of Light – December 18, 2024
- Alien: Rogue Incursion – December 19, 2024
- Hitman World of Assassination – March 27, 2025
While Mare is out now, the other four titles mentioned in the blog post are all upcoming. The next one to come to PS VR2 is Trombone Champ: Unflattened, which will be available on November 26. The original Trombone Champ blew up on Steam, and this latest version adds a slew of new collectibles and gameplay tweaks to modernize it for a next-gen VR experience. A few weeks later on December 18, PS VR2 will get Masters of Light, a rhythmic, magic-focused action title. The much-anticipated Alien: Rogue Incursion will follow on December 19, with a VR port for Hitman World of Assassination coming on March 27, 2025.
IO Interactive and Sony hope Hitma n will be one of the series’ most engaging entries to date. That’s a bold goal, considering how the game bundled three titles into one when Hitman 3 was rebranded as World of Assassination back in 2023. Alien: Rogue Incursion will likewise take full advantage of VR’s immersion to make the Xenomorphs more terrifying than ever. Trombone Champ, Mare, and Masters of Light may not be quite as intense, but no matter what kind of games VR enthusiasts enjoy, there’s something to look forward to in the PS VR2’s upcoming lineup.
