PlayStation Virtual Reality release date, specs: Packed with 8 free demo games

PS VR is installed with six-axis motion sensing system and nine LEDs that will work with the PS Camera to track the gamer’s movement even when they turn away from it. According to the tech giant, the PlayStation VR will come with an 8-game demo disc, which will of course be free.

Sony will livestream its PlayStation Meeting tomorrow, and we expect to hear more on PlayStation 4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Neo. For those of us who grew up playing demos of games for longer periods of time than the campaign of many modern games, it might be hard to understand why Old Man Winslett is so excited. We say: why limit yourself to one?

The PlayStation VR’s $400 price tag might mean you don’t have too much cash left over to actually pick up additional games, but an included demo disc will give you a chance to try out some of the peripheral’s biggest titles.

The demo disc will include a taste of Driveclub VR, a “high-octane” vehicle racing game.

Back in the olden days, it was common for a game console to launch with a demo disc, giving players the opportunity to try out a variety of games before deciding how to spend their hard-earned cash. The other games included are PlayStation VR Worlds, Tumble VR, Battlezone, EVE: Valkyrie, Wayward Sky, and Headmaster. Wonderful sights, a lost secret and extreme danger all await…

EVE: Valkyrie – Take to the stars and blast your way through swarms of enemy fighters in nerve-shredding space bound battles.

Explore a new dimension in puzzling with a fully 3D version of the classic block stacking game. “A massive, virtual reality world awaits players, where they will “[soar] among the beauty of the clouds in search of your father, in a crumbling airborne fortress”. The multiplayer dog fighting sim is gearing up for launch on PlayStation VR next month and HTC Vive later down the line.

For a complete VR experience, GameSpot suggests the use of the PlayStation Move controllers.
