Sony revealed the most popular PSVR games according to PlayStation Network users.
According to posts on the US and EU PlayStation Blogs, The Playroom VR is the most-played PSVR game. This is based on the number of PSN accounts that have played these games. In other words, the data is taken from everyone with a PS4 connected online and signed up to PSN. So this can include disc-based titles, unlike the usual PlayStation Store chart results.
The Most Popular PSVR Games Revealed
The Playroom VR is a free download developed by Sony Japan. It features a bunch of minigames, some of which are designed for solo play and some of which support local multiplayer. Interestingly, one minigame spawned one of the platform’s best titles, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. That title also features in the EU list, but not in the US.
The second most played title is PlayStation VR Worlds. Again, this is hardly surprising; it was a launch title compiling yet more minigames, one of which spawned Blood & Truth. It’s also featured in plenty of PSVR bundles since launch. Other launch titles listed in both territories include Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, Beat Saber and Batman: Arkham VR.
It probably won’t surprise you to see Beat Saber on both lists; it’s routinely held the best-selling position on the PS Store since launch in November last year. Other usual suspects include Skyrim VR, Resident Evil 7 and Superhot VR. Interestingly, the long-forgotten Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare VR experience makes the grade in both regions.
Perhaps the most surprising inclusion is Driveclub VR in the EU. It just makes it in at the tenth spot, but Sony actually took the game offline earlier this year. The standard version of Driveclub also went offline. It’s very peculiar to take one of your most popular VR games offline, is it not?
We have our list of the best 25 PSVR games, which you can check out to see how they measure up with the most popular PSVR games.
Last week Sony confirmed that the PS5 will launch in late 2020. That makes the future interesting for PSVR. We wrote an editorial earlier this week about how fans may need patience on the path to PSVR 2.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a platform action title which will see the return of the cute robots as players lead the Bot captain through 26 different stages, over five different worlds, to rescue their lost crew. This will require a lot of running, jumping and punching as each stage presents its own challenges and puzzles that will need to be overcome, before facing off against a huge boss. Players role in this title is that of a big robot that is following the Bot captain around, offering a large scale of freedom on how players want to position themselves as they adventure through the title.
Within the title the players will be controlling the a character and leading them through the world but they are present within the VR world as well, allowing for some interesting and creative gameplay moments. “So another thing we have is the Dualshock 4 controller which becomes viable in your hands within VR. It can become a shrunken and by flicking on the touch pad you can destroy the environment to make a path for your character.
Though Astro Bot Rescue Mission features a main path to offer and a mission to complete, Doucet explained there is actally a few other things you can do within the title off the beaten path. “So you don’t have to rescue all the little guys but you know in VR you have this 3D audio, so you can hear where sound is coming from and you can actually hear if a character calling for help is down below or far away from you and that’s one of the really cool things about VR. So as you play through the levels to rescue them all – because getting your whole crew is the ultimate goal of the game – there is a main path but you can replay over and over again to find all the little guys.”
