If you're itching to dive into the enhanced gaming experience provided by the new PlayStation 5 Pro, you're in the right place! Here's a comprehensive guide to every PS VR2 game that takes advantage of this impressive hardware upgrade.

Nearly four years since the original PlayStation 5 made waves in the gaming community, the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro has officially launched, offering gamers a mid-generation boost like never before. Starting at $700, the PS5 Pro boasts a massive 2TB SSD and a GPU that is a staggering 45% more powerful than its predecessor, achieving 2-3 times faster ray tracing capabilities. While the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology—an advanced neural upscaling feature akin to NVIDIA's DLSS—is not available for PS VR2 at launch, Sony has promised it will support the headset in a future update.

This enhanced power means that developers can push PS VR2 games to perform at higher framerates and refresh rates, with many titles currently achieving 120Hz through reprojection techniques rather than natively. Although Sony has confirmed two PS VR2 titles with live patches for the PS5 Pro as of launch, there's buzz that another studio has already released its update.

Moreover, three additional PS VR2 compatible titles—Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Resident Evil Village—have PS5 Pro patches, though it remains uncertain if the performance improvements apply to the VR versions specifically. We've reached out to both Sony and Capcom for clarity on this matter and will provide updates as soon as we receive a response.

Here’s the latest rundown of confirmed PlayStation VR2 games optimized for the PlayStation 5 Pro:
