Kevin Joyce Posted on: 22 Aug 2026 Ghostbusters and VR seem like a perfect match. The franchise has always revolved around equipment that feels made for VR: Proton Packs, particle throwers, PKE Meters, ghost traps and, of course, the ability to physically point a Proton Wand at a supernatural entity. There have been several attempts to create a Ghostbusters VR experience, from short promotional experiences and location-based attractions to a full multiplayer VR game for Meta Quest and PSVR2.

Kevin Joyce Posted on: 15 Aug 2026 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR may have launched back in 2017, but its modding community has ensured that Bethesda’s fantasy RPG remains one of the most impressive games available in VR. While the vanilla version of Skyrim VR is perfectly playable, it doesn’t always feel like a game designed specifically for VR. The player has no visible body, interactions can feel basic, and navigating menus with motion controllers isn’t always particularly intuitive.

Kevin Joyce Posted on: 08 Aug 2026 Games VR gaming has traditionally been limited to titles built specifically for VR headsets. However, that changed dramatically with the arrival of UEVR (Unreal Engine VR), a groundbreaking tool that has opened the door to hundreds of Unreal Engine games. Created by modder Praydog, UEVR is a universal injector that allows compatible Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5 games to be experienced in VR.

Peter Graham Posted on: 04 Aug 2026 It’s August, and you know what that means… no games. Well, very few in actual fact. It’s traditionally a quiet period for videogames, and 2026 seems to be no different. Thankfully, the month isn’t completely bereft of launches, with a few titles trying their luck. So here are all the new VR games arriving in August 2026 that we know about so far.

Kevin Joyce Posted on: 01 Aug 2026 The grim darkness of the far future has found a natural home in VR. Few fictional universes feel as immersive as Warhammer 40,000, with its towering Space Marines, relentless Tyranids, ancient Necrons and endless galactic warfare lending themselves perfectly to VR. While there aren’t dozens of Warhammer 40K VR games just yet, the franchise has steadily expanded into the medium over the past decade.

Kevin Joyce Posted on: 25 Jul 2026 While Meta Quest, PSVR 2 and PC VR often dominate discussions around VR, PICO has quietly built an impressive library of experiences for its own headsets. With devices such as the PICO 4 and PICO 4 Ultra offering high-quality standalone VR without the need for a gaming PC, the platform has become an increasingly attractive option for new VR users. One of PICO’s biggest strengths is the number of free games and experiences available.

Kevin Joyce Posted on: 18 Jul 2026 One of the biggest advantages of owning a Meta Quest headset is that you don’t need to spend a fortune to build an impressive VR library. While blockbuster titles like Batman: Arkham Shadow and Asgard’s Wrath 2 showcase what’s possible on the platform, there are also dozens of genuinely free experiences that offer hours of entertainment.

Peter Graham Posted on: 14 Jul 2026 There are a lot of decent dark fantasy hack-and-slash games for VR, one of which is Deep Type Games’ Hellsplit: Arena. Originally released for PCVR way back in 2019, the game then arrived for Meta Quest in 2025. Now the studio has revealed its next project, Hellsplit: Labyrinth. More Hellsplit Action Hellsplit: Arena purely focuses on action-packed combat and not much else. There is a basic narrative but nothing you’re going to pay attention to.

Peter Graham Posted on: 12 Jul 2026 Let’s be honest here, XRsource is covering less and less PSVR 2 news because there are fewer and fewer games arriving. Thankfully, indie studio Gray Mantis is still passionate about the headset. Having recently released Dungeons Of The Deep VR in June 2026, the studio has now unveiled its next project, SlipVector.

Kevin Joyce Posted on: 11 Jul 2026 2026 is shaping up to be a rough year for VR. The industry has changed. Rather than being defined by a single blockbuster release, the first half of the year has delivered a steady stream of games across Meta Quest, PC VR and PlayStation VR2 (PSVR2). Whether you’re looking for action, puzzle-solving, simulation or cooperative adventures, there’s already plenty to keep VR enthusiasts busy.
