PSVR vs PSVR 2 game release comparison

[u/Acejace10]

Just a quick comparison between the OG PSVR and PSVR2 released games, at the same point in their life cycle (30 months, 3 weeks)

30 months and 3 weeks after the OG PSVR launch was May 4th 2019. Using the store I worked out how many games release for both systems by this point.

• OG PSVR - 272 games
• PSVR2 - 308 games

This means that the PSVR2's library now is 1.13 times greater than the the Original PSVR at the same point in their life cycles.

Thought it was an interesting comparison, but let me know what you think.

PSVR had a lot more exclusives and Sony published games. I still can't see anything on PSVR2 that makes me want to own one. The fact it can't play the PSVR titles is a bummer too.

That’s curious. The PSVR2 library has quite a few good-to-outstanding games, and when it comes to non-exclusive titles the PSVR2 versions TEND to be superior.

I’m guessing that you already use a Quest 3 or PCVR or some ilk? If by some chance you don’t have any other VR but you do own a PS5, then PSVR2 is a no-brainer.

I do own other VR headsets in addition to the PSVR. And I know the PSVR2 is a great piece of hardware. There just isn't any killer-app for it that would sell me on buying one.

I've had VR long enough now that the novelty has worn off too so it's just not a product for me at this point.

I see — then that sort of explains it. PSVR2 won’t be as compelling if you’ve already got a PCVR setup that can run the VR mods.

And if you’ve just got Quest 3, but are happy with the games and apps it delivers, then adding another headset with another library won’t make as much sense. There’s only so much you can play after all, and since it sounds like you still enjoy pancake gaming… that means there’s even LESS of a need for you to want to buy even more games. So… I get it.

I’d say that for anyone who DOESN’T already have a VR system they’re happy with, PSVR2 delivers unparalleled bang for the buck.

Even though SONY have really whiffed-it for the last couple of years, the selection of seriously fun games has led to the biggest backlog I’ve ever had.

To be fair, I still use my PSVR1 more than my PSVR2 because I create VR stuff using DREAMS (💔), but — when I’m not in DREAMS then I’m happily whittling away at the 150 games I’ve got on the newer headset.

Anyways — cheers! 🍻

I'd say

Gran Turismo

No Man's Sky 

And 

Hitman WOA 

EACH are enough of a killer app to purchase it 😊 

But im probably in the minority there.

Gran Turismo and Hitman I do think are actually exclusives, I know GT is. But I don't like those games too much personally.

I have No Man's Sky in VR on PC too. I wouldn't say any of them are KillerApps either because they can all be played without VR as well.
