This PlayStation VR sale has some essential games

A lot of PSVR games are under $10

My PlayStation VR library has slowly but surely filled up thanks to PlayStation Store sales, and while I’m anxious to hear the particulars of Sony’s PS4-to-PS5 transition for virtual reality, I can’t resist jumping on good deals when they pop up. Many of these games, while fun, are too fleeting to buy at full price.

Sony is running a PlayStation VR sale with around 150 deals lasting through September 23, 2020.

I wouldn’t recommend all of these games for every type of PSVR owner, but here are my quick picks:

• The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners ($29.99)
• Marvel’s Iron Man VR ($29.99)
• L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files ($24.99)
• Borderlands 2 VR ($24.99)
• Tetris Effect ($19.99)
• Audica ($19.49)
• Trover Saves the Universe ($17.99)
• Paper Beast ($16.49)
• Ghost Giant ($14.99)
• Gorn ($14.99)
• Moss ($14.99)
• Blood and Truth ($14.79)
• Superhot VR ($9.99)
• Arizona Sunshine ($9.99)
• Everybody’s Golf VR ($9.89)
• No Heroes Allowed! VR ($9.89)
• Battlezone Gold Edition ($8.74)
• Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin ($7.99)
• A Fisherman’s Tale ($7.49)
• Creed Rise to Glory ($7.49)
• Star Trek: Bridge Crew ($7.49)
• Astro Bot Rescue Mission ($7.39)
• Déraciné ($6.59)
• Until Dawn: Rush of Blood ($5.24)
• Tumble VR ($4.99)
• Theseus ($2.99)

(No, Beat Saber isn’t on sale. Sorry! That said, it’s worth the money.)

Of this list, I’d say Superhot VR, Tetris Effect, and Astro Bot Rescue Mission are essential. For everything else – especially the older titles that are several bucks each – try to see what you’re getting into first.

This week, Sony is also highlighting upcoming VR games on the PlayStation Blog including Minecraft‘s PSVR update and Twilight Path. When’s the last time you used your headset? It’s been a bit for me.
