Virtual reality gaming promises to be an immersive and exciting way to enjoy gaming. And with the PlayStation VR2 coupled with a PS5 console, you can expect a gaming experience unlike anything you can imagine. We asked writer and game review Matthew Rondina to review the PS VR2 and he loved how immersive and responsive the controllers were. And since this is a very new way to enjoy gaming, we also asked him to do a second article explaining some tips and tricks for setting up this device to get the most from your gaming. Learn more and enter for a chance to experience VR gaming at its best: we are giving away one PS VR2 bundle in this contest.

Play a variety of games with PS VR2

With PS VR2, you can explore a wide range of games that cater to different tastes and preferences. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the PS5, offering stunning graphics, 3D audio, and adaptive triggers. Plus, it comes with a new VR controller that has haptic feedback and finger touch detection, giving you more realistic and intuitive interactions. However, not every PS5 game will be compatible with a PS VR2. VR-compatible games are developed to take advantage of the headset’s capabilities, providing an immersive 3D experience that traditional console games do not offer. Whether you want to shoot zombies, race cars, solve puzzles, or swing like Spider-Man, there is a game for you. Some of the titles that will be compatible with PS VR2 are Resident Evil 4 VR, Gran Turismo 7, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. You can also enjoy some of the existing PSVR games that will be enhanced for PSVR2, such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Blood & Truth, and Moss.

Take VR for a test run

If you’re like me, you have a ton of questions about VR in general, and PS VR2 in particular. Where do you begin to get answers? Well if you live close to a Best Buy store, start there! This month, until Sept 24th 2023, at many participating Best Buy stores, you can register for a hands-on, 20 minute demo (Please note: time slots are filling up very quickly so register early). You can get your questions answered right there. Another way to get some of your questions answered is to ask our reviewer … in fact you can do that in the comment section below any review article on the blog to get questions answered from an expert who has used the tech! And if you enter this contest, you’ll be able to use the PS VR2 and discover the answers for yourself.

How to enter

Entering this contest is easy, and you can enter in four different ways (one entry per method only).

  1. In a comment below, tell us what game you are most excited to play with a PlayStation VR, the game you think is this year’s best, explain why you think it’s the best, and let us know if you have played it yet.
  2. In a comment beneath our “Tips and Tricks” article, tell us one thing discussed in that article that you found was the most helpful for someone setting up a PS VR2 for the first time.
  3. In a comment beneath the PS VR2 in store demo article, tell us what question you would ask first if you were able to attend one of these demo sessions. Note, you do not have to register for the event. Leaving one question about the PS VR2 in the comment section for that article will qualify as one contest entry.
  4. Social post: For one additional entry, create a public post on a social media channel sharing with your friends and followers that you are entering a Best Buy blog contest to win a PS VR2 and include the hashtag #BestBuyPSVR2contest, so we can find your post. Include a picture from this contest page. Then return here and tell us in a comment below on which channel you posted it and the name of your channel (since many people use pseudonyms) so that we can check and verify your entry. You can use any social media channel (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Thread, LinkedIn, etc.), but the post must be public so we can verify it is there.

What you can win

At the end of the contest, we will randomly select one winner from all eligible entries to receive a new PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain VR Bundle.

The contest runs from Sept 12th to Sept 24th.

Remember you can enter four times maximum, in four different ways—once per method (leaving four comments below this article will not count as four entries and may get you disqualified). However, tell everyone in your family, tell your friends, tell your neighbours and their neighbours too, about this contest and someone you know may win. And since you told them about the contest, I think that gives you weekly VR gaming access—don’t you?

  1. For me, it would be Resident Evil! I love the series, I’ve played all of them on regular screen and playing in VR would take it to the next level.

  6. I would love to play “The Light Brigade” because it is both RPG & strategy, both of which I love. I have not played this game as of yet.

    • The Game I would be the most excited to play is Resident Evil Village. I think this Game will be this year’s best because of the Game play, the graphics, the different levels and weapons you can unlock and also because Resident Evil is one of the greatest Video Game series of all time. The way they created this Game is amazing and just the way you can interact with the Zombies and People gets better each time a Resident Evil game is released.

      I can’t wait to try this game I’ve heard nothing but great things about it.

    prob between GoW and Spider-man 2 – graphics, gameplay and storyline are tops
    looking forward to playing spider-man 2

  11. I would most like to play Gran Turismo in VR because it would be amazing to feel the action so real. I think it’s probably best game of the year too, at least for me, but I haven’t played it yet. I love car racing.

  12. I would love to play Gran Turismo 7. The best game (that I’m aware of) would be Resident Evil 4. because it seems to be very challenging – but I have not played it yet.

  17. 1- I’m excited to play this year’s best game: “The Light Brigade” and I think it’s the best because it has role-playing & strategy which I love & no, I’ve not played it yet BUT I have seen it played by my friends.

  19. I am most excited to play resident evil 4 remake in VR. I think Baulders Gate 3 is this year’s best game. I think it is the best as the amount of choice in dialogue and the excellent mocap + voice acting of every dialogue choice is just staggering. I have played it.

  20. I would be most excited to play Gran Turismo 7 or Spiderman 2 on our PS5 with the PS VR 2 headset.
    Both games would be epic and are family friendly for my children, so we could play all together as a family, if we are lucky enough to win! 🙂

  22. I am most excited to play Humanity, because I love puzzle games. I think it’s the best because it looks fun. I have not played it yet.

  23. If I win I’m going to be extremely excited to play Resident Evil on PSVR2. I think it’s a cool game especially in the VR aspect.

    The best VR game of the year in my opinion has still gotta be Bonelabs. Best physics sandbox game out there.

  24. I am most excited to play Humanity because I love puzzle games. It can be played by anyone; therefore, this is the best game of the year. I have not played it yet.

  26. I am most excited to play Humanity, I love puzzle games. I think it’s the best because it can be enjoyed by everyone, any age. I have not played it yet.

  28. I am most excited to play Humanity, I love puzzle games. I think it’s the best because it can be enjoyed by everyone, any age. I have not played it yet.

  35. I would love to play Gran Turismo 7. I think it would be great in VR
    I think that Marvels Spiderman 2 is the best game of the year as it improves the New York area to make it more realistic. I haven’t played it yet but sure would like to

  37. I am most excited to play VRMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. I think it’s the best game of the year and it would be amazing to swing like Spiderman in VR. I have not had the opportunity to try it yet.

  38. I’m most excited to play a Final Fantasy Game. While I’ve never used a VR set I expect Marvel’s Spiderman 2 to be the best (although truth be told I am unaware of all the VR games out as not having the set yet I’m not really paying attention).

  39. I am most excited to play Humanity, I love puzzle games. I think it’s the best because it can be enjoyed by everyone, any age. I have not played it yet.

  40. I’m most excited to play is After the Fall. The best game this year that I played was Resident Evil 4, I liked it because it was kinda scary in parts and super intense. I did play it already.

  43. Unfortunately, the game I’m most excited to play on PSVR is an Xbox exclusive (Starfield). I also think it’s probably the best game of the year because of the immense size of the world and the hundreds of hours of play I’ll get out of it. That being said, I really loved play Horizon Zero Dawn, and I bet Horizon: Call of the Mountain is an awesome game to play on the PSVR.

  44. I’m most excited to play No Man’s Sky on PSVR2. My game of the year is likely Tears of the Kingdom because I can’t put it down! I think it’s best because there’s so much to do. I’ve been playing it since launch

  45. When setting up in Tips & Tricks, always make sure to update to latest firmware. That is such an easy but important step that might get skipped over.

  47. The game that I would like to play on this is Resident Evil 4 VR. I think using VR for this game would be amazing and I have not played it yet but am very excited to!

  48. Most excited to play beat saber on PS VR!
    The game I think is this year’s best is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, because it somehow improved on Breath of the Wild! I have played it already!
