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 ourTips 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. Would love to play Gran Turismo 7, and it seems the best of the year so far. A great example of how VR can transform a non VR game.

  2. Grand Turismo 7 as I got into F1 racing this year. I would say the best game I played so far this year is FIFA. I love watching soccer.

  3. Spiderman 2 sounds awesome… all the spiderman games are really well done for playstation. I haven’t played, but I have seen some gameplay.

  4. Definitely most excited to play Resident Evil in VR. Spooky! The best game I’ve played this year is Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. Just the most solid action adventure game you could hope for. Started it a few weeks ago.

  5. I would love to play Spiderman 2 on PlayStation VR 2! That’s a absolutely going to be the best game. The first Spiderman game was already awesome, and now you’ll be able to swing from buildings using your PS VR 2 controllers! To make it even better, the game has been expanded to include Brooklyn and Queens, so it’s guaranteed to be many hours of endless fun!
    I really wish there was going to be a PS VR 2 demo in Nova Scotia! I was very excited when I heard about the demos and there’s a Best Buy near me, but there won’t be any demos here. I’d really love to try it because I absolutely know that I’ll love it. I always wanted an original PS VR but never had the extra funds for one. The new one seems infinitely better!

  6. 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.

    • This year best game is Horizon call of the mountains. I love the colors and nature. I have no played the game before but I’m eager to own a VR and play it.

  7. Most excited to play Spider-Man 2.
    This year’s best is Horizon Call of the Mountain according to reviews. I haven’t played it yet.

  8. I’d be most excited to play horizon VR on the Playstation VR, and I also think that Spiderman 2 will be this year’s game of the year. It’s going to improve on the first Spiderman game on PS4 in every way, and you get to see venom. Haven’t played it yet, but will when it comes out.

  9. Game of the year: Mortal Kombat 1! Most excited to play: Horizon Call of the Mountain, I love the world Guerilla Games has created and can’t wait to jump back into it.

  10. I am most excited to play Spider-Man 2. I unlocked the Platinum trophy in the first game for PS4 and completed all the DLC. I am going to need to get a PS5 soon as I have been dying to play this sequel for years!

  11. Like in the review by Matthew, I would want to try ‘Horizon Call of the Mountain’. I’m a huge fan of all the other ‘ Guerrilla Games’ (Killzone series) and I would hope that this this Horizon game furthers the expansive storytelling of the series

  12. I’m am looking forward to playing Horizon Call of the Mountain I think it is this year’s best because although I haven’t played it yet myself, everything I see online about it is really positive!

  13. I am looking forward to playing Resident Evil Village which I do think is this year’s best game. I like games that tell a story and have unexpected endings that keep me on my toes. I haven’t played it yet.

  14. I am excited to play Resident Evil Village which I do think is this year’s best game. I like games that tell a story and have unexpected endings that keep me on my toes. I haven’t played it yet, but have heard that it would be perfect for me.

  15. I am most excited for Gran Turismo 7, Red Matter 2 seems like the best game so far just due to the visuals and and the story line is awesome. I have not played it yet.

  16. I’m most excited to play Horizon Call of the Mountain with a PlayStation VR and I think it is this year’s best because although I haven’t played it yet myself, everything I see online about it is really positive!

  17. Grand Turismo 7, Spiderman 2, it should be the best because my 5 year nephew told me it was (true story). I have yet to play either games.
