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?

  4. I think it would be Amazing to play Resident Evil Village on the PSVR2!! I mean horror all the way! Thanks for the chance, i am @DanniGallagher7 on twitter!

  5. J’adorerais Horizon-Call of the Mountain parce que ça a l’air d’être génial et je n’y ai jamais joué.

  7. I am very excited to play the Ragnarok game on PlayStation VR. The game that I think is this year’s best is called Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and I have not played it yet.

  8. I have not yet played it, but I think that I would be most excited to play Ghost Giant with a PlayStation VR. Puzzle solving while interacting with the villages in a VR world sounds fun.

  9. Horizon: Call of the Mountain, which I haven’t yet played, would be my choice to play first. I thinks it’s the best because I come from the prairies and anything that gets me up into the mountains is great in my book!

  10. Diablo IV is the best game that will be out because of its graphics and story line but I would love to try spiderman with vr which I haven’t tried but I think would be so much fun

  11. I would love to play the horizon games! Its been a while since ive used a vr and cant wait to try those haptic feedback triggers! Also grand turismo on that headset would be a dream

  14. Resident Evil Village would be amazing and terrifying in VR. I love the games in general and to be immersed in the game would be a whole new experience. Tried once

  17. the game I’m most excited to play with the Playstation VR is the new Ragnarok game, it looks so cool, and the Netflix version rocks too
    I think the new Assasin’s Creed movie is this years best- so much content and multi-worlds yet to be discovered..
    I have not played it yet, but sure do hope to! 😉

  20. Diablo IV was definitely the best game of the year and the most anticipated by far. I would love to play Gran Turismo 7 in VR because I’ve been playing that series since Gran Turismo 1. I haven’t played it yet!

  21. Any and all of the Super Mario games are the game I’m most excited to play with a PlayStation VR,
    This year I think the best game out there is the new Ragnarok series! I’m dying to play this, and I just watched the Ragnarok Netflix set- just terrific!

  22. Corbin’s VR studio here, I am most excited to play beat saber with a PlayStation VR. The game I think is the best this year is Wreck Room. It’s the best because it’s like a billion games inside of one game. There is so much to do! I have played it a ton and love it.

  27. I’m most excited to play Gran Turismo 7 on the VR2 because I love that series and racing! In terms of the best game of the year, if you mean overall (and not just for VR2), I would say Diablo IV. I feel it really redeemed itself compared to III and I’ve been sinking a lot of time in to it!

  28. Spider-Man 2 I think would be great. It will be fun to swing around with VR and no I have not played Spider-Man 2.
    Thank you

  29. Hey Martin at BestBuy I shared the #BestBuyPSVR2 contest on my Facebook page and my Instagram so that all my followers could check it out! My page on Instagram is CorbinsVRStudio & on Facebook Corbin’s VR Studio. I would LOVE to try the play station VR it’s the top of my wish list for my birthday & Christmas this year!

  30. I’d probably regret it, but Resident Evil Vilage would be amazing and terrifying in VR. I love the games in general and to be immersed in the game would be a whole new experience.

  34. I’m absolutely stoked to dive into “Horizon Call of the Wild” on PlayStation VR! I genuinely believe it’s this year’s top pick for VR gaming. The immersive open-world experience, combined with the breathtaking graphics, makes it a standout choice. Sadly, I haven’t had the chance to play it just yet, but the buzz and reviews have got me counting down the days till I do!

  35. Excited to play Gran Turismo 7. I think it’s the best of the year because racing games are fun and the graphics are outstanding. I haven’t played it yet.

  37. Most excited to play and best are the same for me. Horizon Call of the Mountain . I really like the franchise after the first 2. Sadly I haven’t played yet.

  45. Im excited to play Gran Turismo 7. In my mind it’s the best game of the year, because I love racing simulator games..I have played it, but not with a VR set.

  48. Horizon Call of the Mountain. I have not played it but I have watched streams of it and it looks just as good if not better than the OG game.

  49. Im excited to play Gran Turismo 7. I think it’s the best of the year because I love racing games. I haven’t played it yet, but looking forward to it.
