Which games offer free upgrades from PSVR to PSVR2? There is no PSVR backwards compatibility on PSVR2, but some developers are deciding to re-release or โ in some cases โ remaster their games for Sony's next-gen headset. This means that these titles will not only look and run better, but will also be able to take advantage of key new hardware features, like the PSVR2 Sense Controllers. As part of our PSVR2 guide, we're going to reveal all PSVR games with free PSVR2 upgrades.

No Man's Sky on PSVP, is one of the best examples of how much better a game can be in VR. The improved graphics on PS5 missed the better feel & controls of the VR version. Now we'll get the best of both and a reason to upgrade to Playstation VR2.
Please star wars squadron
Can i buy the PS4 versions of these games and they will still update to PS5 and run on the PSVR2 (or do i have to have the PS5 versions?)
@LiamCroft Puzzling Places was just announced as a PSVR2 launch title with a free upgrade
@orangeblossom Thanks, this is now on the list!
@LiamCroft Owlchemy Labs announced a couple of days ago on their website and twitter that Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator will have free upgrades as well ๐
Walking Dead Saints & Sinners is getting the free upgrade treatment as well Happy Days!
@LunaticDave
No Man's Sky should never have been released before VR in the first place. For years, I fully expected it to be a pure-VR experience and was shocked when it finally released and was only 2D.
Does anyone know if we are able to purchase from a store on release day? I have a pre order but I can't change my delivery address for some reason. Keeps coming up as an error. I will have to cancel my order and purchase elsewhere๐ญ
So we'll have to repurchase Vacation Simulator i take it?
That ocean floor section with the Tinker Toy fish was quite something at the time.
It will be nice being to able experience it with 2x the resolution, 110d FOV, inside out Motion tracking and large play area.
Still, being tethered is terrible for a game like this since it demands the player to turn and bend in every single direction.
So will the PSVR2's OLED display actually have true blacks or even deeper blacks than the PSVR1's? VR1 never delivered OLED blacks, they were like a dark-ish shade of grey.
Higher Brightness, True blacks, zero motion stuttering(gaming at 120hz should resolve this), no Chromatic Aberration, no Black smearing and glare would be nice.
@neonpizza Vacation Simulator is a free upgrade!
@get2sammyb
Whoops, must of missed it when i skimmed down the list!
great to hear
Oh nice didn't know job and vacation simulator were confirmed for free upgrades. Pleasant surprise as we head to launch.
hopefully resident evil 7 sees an upgrade.
@Discol76 You should be able to cancel it and then reorder it to your correct address, I cancelled the standard edition and then ordered the Horizon bundle 5 minutes later, I checked with customer services it wouldn't still think I'd met my quota and not let me reorder ๐
Quite surprised there aren't more as there are some great games on PSVR1 which could be sold to new psvr2 users.
Time will tell I guess but I'm going to miss Dirt Rally, Wipeout, Farpoint and Rush of Blood.
@neonpizza I can't answer your question as I haven't used the new headset but the recent Dev interview on Digital foundry has one of the Devs mentioning how their game is pitch black in places. Worth a watch as it is quite insightful. ๐
@SeeDaRipper1973 short answer: YES
Glad saints and sinners is free, had it on original, but the move controllers were meh. This is one of reasons im exited for vr2 no camera will be a game changer.
Could you possibly include the free upgrade release date?
For example, will Walking Dead Saints and Sinners 1 upgrade be available on Psvr2 release day?
I've read so many conflicting theories about the Saints and Sinners upgrade. Some sites say it's released on psvr2 release date and some say it releases in March alongside Saints and Sinners 2.
@MagicalBarrie Yeh think I might have to do something like that. Playstion customer service is so difficult to get in touch with, never mind an answer. Just keeps directing you to help pages or FAQs which are of no use. Rant over lol
@Discol76 Tell me about it, I spent an hour on the chat and then got cut off literally at the point when they were about to give the answer we lost connection! It would have been funny if I wasn't so angry ๐
Then managed to get back on later and got an immediate answer, it can take about 5 minutes for the systems to update but you can cancel and then reorder without being worry โบ
@orangeblossom Great news! Puzzling Places is a fantastic little game, and the devs seem like good people. They donated the proceeds from their Ukrainian cultural heritage site DLC to aid those displaced by the war.
Do we know yet if the rumors of a NMS delay are true or not? I already bought it anyway, lol, but I'm still wondering.
Nothing about Astro bot: rescue mission?
@MagicalBarrie
Thanks man. Will do.
Cancelled pre order and tried new address. That didn't work. Error message saying unable to verify address. I'll just buy it at a store hopefully. ๐ข Edit.....Got it. Accepted new address ๐
@Discol76 I have the exact same issue! Apparently you can only change address within 30 min after placing the order.. I cancelled my preorder, thinking I could place a new order straight away, but now itโs impossible to log in. So Iโm left empty handed ๐ญ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@R-Soub and Wipeout Omega too hopefully!
Playroom VR, please!!
My kids love this. I'd love a PSVR2 update!
Holy mackerel.. its next week!
I was hoping for a trover saves the universe upgrade but eith everything that has come out I doubt itโs likely. I got the game before the accusations so Iโll still play it at some point I was just banking on a psv2 upgrade
@Discol76 Nice! Bet that was a tense moment though, glad it's sorted! Now just gotta wait and hope it's closer to the 22nd part of the release window ๐
Saint & sinners Tourist Edition is a free upgrade, but Saints & Sinners Standard Edition was the one through PS+. So this means the PS Plus version won't be getting the free upgrade?
@MagicalBarrie My original Pre order was made on 15th November. Not sure if that would have got me to the front of the queue. But hey I'm just happy my headset will now be going to the correct address whenever it arrives. Bought RE Village and NMS, still I. their wrapping unopened. Will buy GT7 and that Kayak game next.
@Mr_B021 Have you received the latest email regards payment yet?
@Discol76 Absolutely, better to have it a few days later at the right place then get it day one to a strangers house ๐
I was thinking the same thing, I'm hoping that because they haven't sold out (and reports they've sold less than estimated) it'll mean we'll still get it day one
@Mr_B021 Try again now, I've been locked out before got whatever reason and then got in later, and it can take a bit of time for it to register the cancellation before you can reorder
Sony should port all their games, like Playroom VR, Driveclub VR, Persistence VR, Wipeout and Blood & Truth to show they are 100% dedicated to PSVR2. The lineup so far is really strong but I think alot of people are waiting for Sony to keep the momentum up for the long run. These titles would be easy for them to upgrade to 4K and new controllers and reap some goodwill from.
@Discol76 @MagicalBarrie Yep and the email confirming my preorder is cancelled. But still no way to log in and place a new order. Tried several times during the day with different devices and browsers. Canโt get through to customer service either. ๐ฉ
@Mr_B021 That's so weird, I've just tried and logged in immediately and there's a chat agent available as well. What's it saying when you try to log in?
@MagicalBarrie I suspect they donโt have that many employees on the Dutch language chat. After you fill in your name I get an error message saying it could not make a connection even while indicating that there are employees available to chat..๐ค I tried to use the UK or US chat, but it immediately redirects.
@Mr_B021 argh that's so frustrating!! Hopefully you'll be able to log in soon, have you tried going through Google to the PSVR2 page and skip the PlayStation direct page? I've had it where the actual page just glitches repeatedly, managed to bypass it by adding it then logging in, worth a try!
@MagicalBarrie This morning I managed to log in and place a new order with the correct shipping address. That was tense ๐ . Thanks for the tip!
@Mr_B021 Yay! Now we just sit back and wait for the next week to pass ๐
