Digital Foundry: It's been almost a year since we first heard about the existence of a Sony virtual reality headset. What began as a vague rumour about a potential Oculus Rift PS4 hook-up gradually shifted into something much bigger - and infinitely more exciting. The hardware we've tested and the demos we've played confirm that this is no mere Oculus copy: there are commonalities in the technology, but Sony has its own distinct vision for VR, and a console-specific strategy for getting the most out of the hardware.
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.
"The hardware we've tested and the demos we've played confirm that this is no mere Oculus copy: there are commonalities in the technology, but Sony has its own distinct vision for VR, and a console-specific strategy for getting the most out of the hardware."
"But having sampled the Morpheus prototype, the differences - though subtle - are actually quite profound. Sony is behind Oculus in one key respect, the display, but substantially ahead elsewhere."
Great article, and good to hear it will be unique enough to hopefully secure a place in the market. After all PC is a different market to consoles, so although a lot of the same games will appear on both, the opportunity for unique experiences on both is vast.

"PlayStation Move is Sony's secret weapon - it's the most fully-formed 3D interface available and works brilliantly in the demo we played, giving you 'hands' and allowing you to physically interact with the environment."
"it's perhaps surprising to discover that a truly transformative element of the proposition comes from a piece of hardware that you might already own: PlayStation Move. Our aspirations for the hardware were never fully realised, but the hook-up with Morpheus is a match made in heaven"
That's all the proof I need to hear to know that this kind of input is NEEDED to get more out of the experience and add to the immersion. Plus they don't need to iterate the thing. It works well enough to never have to get people to spend more if they already have one.
All I need now is for Bethesda/ Sony to announce FALLOUT 4 with Morpheus/Oculus compatibility and I'm 100% sold. The possibilities....
Wish ps4 could have porn games like the oculus will :-(
Realistic/affordable price + developer interest = WIN
Can't wait to see what the first must-play game is for morpheus!
You really have to try vr to appreciate it, day 1 for me after trying it, true not gen imo
