Originally released on Quest’s App Lab followed by a Steam launch and then an official Quest Store roll-out, a PSVR 2 port isn’t too far away. Confirming details on both Reddit and Discord, Thullen says PSVR 2 could see Ancient Dungeon arrive in 2023.

All the New VR Games Coming in December
As we say goodbye to 2023 there’s still plenty of time to welcome new VR games this December. While there was a deluge in November, this month there’s half the amount.

Even so, there are still some heavy hitters looking to entertain VR fans this winter.
VR Reaches its Zenith, Welcome VR Greg Davis
We’ve had Penn & Teller in VR, and The Martian VR Experience put us in the shoes of Matt Damon’s character Mark Watney. Even Wallace and Gromit are getting on the virtual reality train. But, quite frankly, all of that pales in comparison to the man, the myth, the legend, that is Greg Davis. Because next year, Davis, alongside co-host Alex Horne are coming to a headset near you with Taskmaster VR.
Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable Delayed Yet Again
One of XR Source’s most anticipated VR games of 2023 was UNIVRS’ Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable.

VR is the Leader in Gaming Innovation
Modern gaming offers ever more expansive, beautifully constructed worlds that you can spend hundreds of hours in. But with so many titles arriving, jostling for players’ valuable time, sticking to popular mechanics rather than coming up with something new is more common than not. That’s especially so when considering the raft of sequels and year releases some franchises suffer from. Which is why I consider VR to have such an important role within the gaming sphere. Because VR is the only one truly leading gaming innovation.
