Here’s some good news, if the world of PlayStation VR has captured your attention, but the immediately available bundles haven’t. Two new PSVR bundles have been announced by Sony, and each bundle packed with two games each. The first bundle is more of a “hardcore” set, with games that are a bit more action-oriented. The second bundle is more of a family-friendly package, with games based on platforming and puzzle-solving.
The first bundle comes with a physical copy of Creed: Rise to Glory, and a digital download code for Superhot VR. It also comes with the PlayStation Camera, Demo Disc 2.0, two PlayStation Move Motion controllers, and the headset itself. This bundle will release on September 25, 2018, launch day for Creed: Rise to Glory, at a retail cost of $349.99.
The second bundle comes with a physical copy of Astro Bot Rescue Mission and a digital download code for Moss. Unlike the previous bundle, it does not include the PlayStation Move Motion controllers. This bundle releases on October 2, 2018, launch day for Astro Bot Rescue Mission, at a retail cost of $299.99.
Recently, Sony announced that the PSVR is doing quite well, reaching a milestone of three million sales. As we are reminded in this announcement, more games are on the way, including Blood & Truth, Déraciné, Ghost Giant, and Star Child.

PSVR Games to Get

Driveclub VR
Price: $6.99
Why: While Driveclub wasn't designed with VR in mind, this is still one of the most fleshed out VR experiences. It also makes the transition pretty well, as long as players don't have a penchant for getting sick, and the fast-paced racing is well worth the few bucks Sony is currently asking.

Eagle Flight
Price: $19.99

Harmonix Music VR
Price: $5.99

-
Headmaster
Price: $9.99
Why: Despite being a PlayStation VR launch title, Headmaster still offers up one of the best experiences. It's premise is simple, as players perform football headers, but it has a wacky charm and some tricky level design. Plus, it's seen several updates since launch, and has only improved since then.
-
I Expect You to Die

-
Resident Evil 7 biohazard
Price: $29.99
Why: Looking for a spooky time? Look no further than Resident Evil 7 biohazard. It's sure to shock you with the additional immersion.
-
Rez Infinite
Price: $17.99
Why: The original Rez was awesome, but Rez Infinite makes it truly shine. The classic title is a natural fit for VR, and the bonus Area X level is absolutely moving. It's one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had in gaming.
-
Sparc
Price: $14.99
Why: There aren't a ton of competitive multiplayer games that are must-own titles in VR, but Sparc is the exception. Basically Discs of Tron but in VR, the one-on-one title is filled with some incredible action. It'll make you sweat, but it's totally worth it.
