Top 10 Upcoming PSVR Games in 2020
With the PlayStation 5 set to be launched during the 2020 holidays and the PlayStation VR 2 reportedly expected to launched soon afterwards, the sunset is approaching for the first-generation PSVR. However, before it finally makes an exit, there still lots of great VR hits that you can enjoy with the headset this year. Here is a list of some of the best upcoming PSVR games in 2020.
#1 Gorn
Release Date: To be announced
The PSVR port for the bloody gladiatorial game Gorn was expected to happen late last year. In an update late last month, the developer Free Loves announced that the game was still “a couple of weeks away” from completion. The game might be finished in a couple of weeks but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will also be released in a couple of weeks.
After its completion, the game still has to be sent to Sony for the certification process which presents its own sets of unique challenges. The process of getting a game accepted in all regions of Sony stores is usually a tough one for developers. But it is reasonable to expect that the game will hit the streets this year.

The player is able to design both the landscape and terrain layout of the virtual environment before populating it with the strange and origami-looking creatures.
