10 Incredible-Looking VR Games We’re Dying To Play In 2022

This year is shaping up to be a big one for VR. Here’s what we’re looking forward to most in the coming months.

Let’s be honest. There’s never been a better time to be a VR gamer. Between the Meta Quest 2 and PC VR headsets like the Valve Index, we’re currently swimming in a sea of incredible games and apps. 2021 was an especially exciting year with the release of popular titles like Resident Evil 4 VR, Lone Echo II, and After the Fall just to name a few. I also want to give a special shout-out to Gorilla Tag, which has effectively cost me the security deposit on my apartment.

As hard as it is to believe, 2022 is shaping up to be an even bigger year for VR gaming. No, seriously, there’s a lot to look forward to in the coming months. So much so we decided to put together a list of our most-anticipated releases on Quest, PC VR, and PlayStation VR. The following are 20 incredible-looking games we can’t wait to play in 2022.
