I bought the PSVR1 for cheap after it had its first major price drop. I enjoyed it quite a bit for about 2 years. RE7, Thumper, Batman, Until Dawn, Paranormal Activity, and Here They Lie were some of the games I beat on it and really enjoyed. I liked the horror games on it quite a bit. One day I just stopped playing it, and never came back to it. I had a little bit of interest in the PSVR2 before it got revealed, but the price was a turnoff and there wasn't many games I wanted to play. Really the only new games on it I would want to play are RE 8, RE 4, and Horizon. The recent $200 price drop is a little tempting, but not enough to pick it up based on Sony's first party support of it.

Same, PSVR was such a fun experience for a time. I have no interest in dusting it off though, the games were great for the time I played them. Had fun, it's put to rest.

That game looks sick. Man, the more ai talk to you on here I really wish I had a PS5 and that damn headset. Are there small developers still keeping the scene going lime with PSVR 1? The digital store is in good shape and nothings hidden? Is Sony pushing VR games to the forefront at all these days?

I think there was one new PSVR release recently, but it's not really supported anymore. The digital store still lists 450 titles, seems to be in good shape.

Actually there is zero for just released. The latest release for PSVR1 is May 10th this year (cross platform release) not that long ago. And there are still sales.

Sony isn't pushing VR much at all. (I haven't seen a single ad for PSVR2) However the Steam app for the PCVR adaptor for PSVR2 is launching in 2 days. And in advance of that launch a lot of places have discounted PSVR2 by $200.

The mood on https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/new/ has changed a lot. From doom and gloom to suddenly a lot of new interest.

Still use VR. I have a PSVR2, Quest 2, and HP Reverb G2. Haven't touched the Quest 2 in a while, but was playing Resident Evil Village with my partner a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. I often play Skyrim VR using my Reverb too. 

Waiting for something with a big resolution and field of view boost to release before I buy a new PCVR headset. But yeah, I'll be buying headsets for life. 

Yeah, I think it's cemented for enthusiasts at this point at the very least, like sim race peripherals but I'd love to see a push to keep console VR alive, PSVR 2 recently got a price cut from 550 to 350, so there's that. It's the perfect middle ground between arcade games and high end PC stuff, just a pity no one will make proper games for it. 

It's a sale not a price cut. They doubtless timed the release of the pcvr adaptor to immediately after the sale ends to try and convince pcvr users that don't own a ps5 to take the plunge.

Never got into VR, tried some at the arcade at malls or water parks, but that is it.

My kids don't really use their VR anymore either.

As long a a YouTubers still use it though, I am sure it will stick around. Markiplier for instance, just had a whole series using VR just a while back. Trahan as well.

I've been looking into getting VR for years now, but when the only somewhat reasonably priced solution is from Meta and the only VR game I really care about is Half-Life: Alyx, it's just not happening. It doesn't help that unlike some years ago, it feels like VR is losing steam instead of gaining it, so I'd probably be investing in a bleak future (at least in the short term).
