In a blog post explaining the releases, Sony writes:

"We’re awfully excited about virtual reality here at PlayStation headquarters, especially with recent releases like The Inpatient, Moss, and Sprint Vector proving that VR can deliver a wide range of immersive experiences across various genres."

Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida said in December that the firm continues to try to get gamers to experience the headset to really understand how good it is.

He said: "It’s a small community. And we respect each other. I think, the success of any of us, is the success of all of us.

“Because, [with] VR you have to experience it to really to understand the potential of this new medium.

"That’s the most difficult part, we were struggling. You have to communicate; you can't just show the trailer, because the experience is different.

"Getting more people to try good VR for the first time is a win for all of us. We are working on good VR.”

Although some gamers have reported feeling sick by its motion controls, the VR headset was released back in October 2017 to strong reviews.
