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. I’ve been a fan of Resident Evil since its inception 20+ years ago. We were 1st in line to get the very 1st Play Station. I have to say “Resident Evil Village” would be my 1st choice of what game I’d like to play. As far as zombies, monsters/creatures goes, nothing beats “RES”.

    As a long time fan of all-things VIKINGS, I have to say “God of War Ragnarok” is the best game of the year. Since the inception of the Vikings and all subsequent series/movies that have come out, they’ve opened the door to the amazing world of Vikings folklore. I have played it for hours and it’s freaking amazing!

  4. I would love to try playing Spiderman 2. I think it would be a fantastic VR experience! I have heard many wonderful things about the game, as well!

  6. I have always been fascinated with space travel. No Man’s Sky is just so realistic. Purchased last month. Getting inside a ship for the first time and flying into space is the best!!

  8. I would like to play Spiderman2 because it’s the best game of the year. The game play and storyline are both excellent. It would be amazing in VR!

  9. 1. Most excited to play with a PlayStation VR – Gran Turismo
    2. This year’s best game – he Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (my friend has it)
    3. But I haven’t played it yet (looking forward to it being under the Xmas tree!)

  10. I think Horizon Call of The Mountain is the best PSVR2 game this year and is the one I most want to play. I really enjoy that worl and its visual spectacles and interactivity. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet.

  13. I want to play Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and I think it’s the best game of the year, but I have not played it yet 🙂

  15. I am most excited to play NBA 2K and think it is this year’s best game because of the inclusion of Kobe Bryant. I have not played it yet.

  17. I’m most excited to play Horizon: Call of the Mountain, and for the best game of the year I think it is “The Ledgend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom”, I have had a chance to play, and the reason I think it’s the best is that, as a sequal game, it’s so good – what I mean is that sometimes sequal games feel like a little blah, or not much different that the first game, but this isn’t like that, it’s exiciting and had exciting elements to it. It’s the best because it allows me to escape into it, and it allows me to escape into it because it’s so well done, with great graphics, etc.

  19. 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.

  20.

  21. 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!

  23. Can’t wait to play Resident Evil Village on the VR, I’ve played the non VR version but this will make the experience so much more immersive. A must for horror game fans.

  28. Excited to play Gran Turismo in VR.

    Been playing Baldur Gate 3 and I think it is the best game this year, just overall good.

  29. I am most excited to play with a PlayStation VR, the game called “Moss”. From Reading the excellent reviews, I feel it’s the best, but have not played it yet.

  35. I want to try Ghostbusters Rise of the Ghost Lord. I think it’s this year’s best game because it looks like fun and challenging. I have not played it yet but I think it would bring back good memories!

  36. If I was able to attend one of the PS VR2 in store demos, I would inquire about the evolution of VR on the Playstation. How has it improved from the initial release, and what new developments are going to keep a user wanting to continue to use it?

  38. I think Horizon: Call of the Mountain is the best game on PSVR2 because of the incredible world Guerilla has crafted! I have not been able to play it, but look forward to hopefully doing so one day!

  39. Gran Turismo 7 is the best, out of the games I bought this year, it had great ray-tracing. And playing it on the PS VR2 would add to the realism.

  40. The game I am most excited to play with Playstation VR is the game called, “Moss” I also think it looks like the best game this year because it is an adventure puzzle game with an adorable brave little mouse. The reviews on this game which has been created for PSVR2 are excellent. I haven’t played it yet but this is one game I would love to try!

  41. My kids have never had a a VR system, and they said that they would love to try an amusement park game, or something involving outer space.

  49. The game I am most excited to play is Gran Turismo 7! Though Beat Saber wins best game of the year for me, it’s so much fun to play and I’ve loved it since the first time I got to try it!
