Quest, SteamVR, & PlayStation VR2

It’s a packed month for new VR games this October, so we’re highlighting the biggest releases on Quest, PC VR, and PlayStation VR2.

Following an unsurprisingly quieter summer, September started picking up the pace once more. Our highlights included DrakkenRidge, Titan Isles, UnLoop, Of Lies and Rain, ZIX, and Unseen Diplomacy 2, while Table Troopers entered full release. Sushi Ben and Dungeons of Eternity both launched on Steam, and Valve’s storefront hosted a major PC VR celebration with the VR Forever Fest.

Fall is often the busiest time for new VR games, so we’ll keep a keen eye on news as it comes in. We’ll refresh this list across the month, and our upcoming VR games list remains regularly updated. Though we wouldn’t classify it in the same way for this list, Forefront kicks off an open beta on October 9, and Steam Next Fest runs from October 13-20. We’ve included individual demos below too.

With that out of the way, here are our highlights for new VR games this October on Quest, PC VR, and PlayStation VR2.
