Sony’s PSVR has a lot of games available for it at this stage of its life cycle. With a year and a half of life under its belt, we’ve seen the full gamut of AAA VR exclusives, ports of non-VR games, and a flood of exciting indie projects that were only possible because of the power of VR technology. The issue though is that the more content there is out there, the more money it takes to keep up with new releases.
Luckily, PlayStation’s new “The Great Indoors” sale kicks off today and runs until 8AM PT on March 27, 2018 — that’s exactly two weeks. The sale features up to 50% (or 60% if you’re a PS+ subscriber) discounts on games and movies across all of PSN. We went through the full list for you and compiled this rundown of all the PSVR game deals. There are 19 in total!

Stifled, from Gattai Games
Price: $19.99

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: In Dead Hungry you have to face off against a horde of zombies. Sounds familiar, right? Well, that’s not all. Instead of killing the zombies, you’re actually tasked with curing them of their ailment by feeding them food. Yep. You can’t make that stuff up. It’s a bit simplistic, but should garner some laughs.

End Space, from Orange Bridge Studios
