A lot of products come out each week — we don't highlight all of them, but all of them make it into The Verge Database. In Spec Sheet, a weekly series, we survey the latest product entries to keep track of the state of the art.
A classic genre takes on new life in VR, so here's a rundown of the best VR platformer games available in 2026.
Can’t be a good list without astro bot and moss and moss book 2 they are the cream of the crop.
If his choices are as good as those 3 games then I gotta try the rest of his list
VR is a medium perfect for adventuring through new lands, so here's some of the best VR Adventure Games available in 2026.
Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.
I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?
That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl, one of the best RTS card battlers in VR is shutting down this July, developer Vertigo Games has confirmed.
90 degree vs 100 degree field of view measurements are not entirely accurate. As it stands, there is no standard method of measuring VR field of view since there are several factors that effect it. I'm pretty sure that if the Sony VR field of view were measured the same way the OR's is, there would not be a 10 degree difference.
With the PS4 hardware not even able to run games past 1080p (as of now) I am assuming the PS4 is basically like a 5 year old low end gaming pc in regards to hardware and capabilities. With the Oculus Rift being PC based wouldn't that mean that the experience should be much better then anything a gaming console would have to offer?
I think this will be a passing fad, just like motion controls and 3d. Yes, there will probably be a killer app released to utilize the full capabilities of these vr headsets. But at a $300-$500 price range. That's a little to much to swallow right now. Especially for just a add on that only uses a few games.
I want Sonys VR to be as best as it can possibly become, because a subpar experience might be a bad first impression for many people and kill the return of VR in general. As of now, it was just introduced, so we'l have to stay tuned to what they have in stored and their business direction with VR. I'm not concern about the oculus rift, because they've been very transparent about their goals and ambitions, and I know they won't release their consumer product until they are satisfied.
My position in this silly "VR war" that some people and articles are trying to brew up is that in the bigger picture of things, I don't see this as a competition. This isn't about who lands on the moon first to reap all of the glory and rewards. This is more like a brothers at arms to overcome the mountain of challenges to finally make VR a reality and mainstream.
