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. Grand Turismo 7 is the best game. The graphics ar just fab. Would be great to play in VR as you can see more to the sides

  3. I am nost excited to play Gran Turismo 7, I like autoracing and GT7 is the latest version of a well-designed autoracing game. Adding VR will take it to the next level. Fasten your safety belts! I haven’t played it yet.

  6. Horizon Call of the Mountain would be my top, I loved the Horizon games. Have not tried Horizon Call of the Mountain yet.

  10. Grand Turismo 7 is the best game. The graphics ar just fab. Would be great to play in VR as you can see more to the sides

  13. I’d be most excited to play Before Your Eyes.

    This year’s best PSVR2 game is probably Gran Turismo 7, for being a high-quality racing game, designed with the VR mode in mind. And it’s probably more accessible than games with first-person movement, like Resident Evil.

    I have not played any of these games yet.

  14. I think that Horizon Call of the Mountain would be the best! I love the series and how immersive it is! I have not played it yet, but would love to!

  18. I’d love to play Horizon call of the mountain. I read the graphics were incredible and it is really like being immersed in nature. I’d love to see the graphics for myself and explore the amazing vr the engineers have created.

  22. I’m most excited to play Grand Turismo 7. I think it will be the best game of the year because of its realistic driving simulation and detailed tracks. I haven’t played yet.

  23. Gran Turismo 7 would be great. I saw that it got great reviews and I enjoy these types of games. I’ve never played it before so it would definitely be interesting.

  32. Most excited to play GT7 in VR and it will be the best VR game this year. It’s the most immersive racing game out there. I have not played it yet but have played previous versions

  33. The game I’m most excited to play with a PlayStation VR is Gran Turismo 7, the game I think is this year’s best is Gran Turismo 7 because of the awesome graphics, the wide selection of cars to use and the different racing options which will give hours upon hours of fun. I have not played it yet and am looking forward to.

  36. Gt7! Have always been a fan of the classics, definitely will be this years best, and I think it will be the best because it’s the grandfather of racing games, and they’ve perfected those games. Can’t wait to try it

  38. The enhanced features in Blood & Truth would appeal to me. My friends tell me Gran Turismo 7 is the best game this year but I have not had the opportunity to play it yet.

  44. Gran Turismo 7 is the one, I’m most excited to play, I think the graphics and gameplay makes it the best, i have not played it yet.

  45. Gran Turismo 7 would be so fun to play in VR – you could look to the side when passing or getting passed, feel the speed, etc. So fun

  50. Horizon: Call of the Mountain looks freaking amazing (have not played yet) and adding VR would be mind blowing. I’m pretty hyped for this so of course I’m going to say Call of the Mountain will be years best.
