Summary
PSVR 2has its fair share of FPS games. Every FPS subgenre is represented — from light-gun style arcade shooters tozombie shooters, to hardcore realistic tactical FPS games.
Not every game has blown fans away, but there are more than enough options for players to be left wondering where to turn for their favorite type of FPS. This list brings together the best FPSgames onPSVR 2, whether players are looking for multiplayer action or single-player stories.
Updated July 11, 2025 by Dom O’Leary:New games are coming to PSVR2 all the time, and since this list was originally published, there have been several new additions to the catalog that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the titles already on this list. From Triple-A franchises brought into VR, to stand-out games from the VR indie scene, these are the new best FPS games on PSVR2.
Metro Awakening’s FPS gameplay is solid, if not spectacular. As players would expect from the developers who brought fans theArizona Sunshinegames, the weapons feel and sound good. With that said, while the stealthy, tense sections where the player fights humans are interesting, the mutant encounters feel a little too wave-shooter-like and repetitive. Fortunately, while the gameplay is good but not great, the storytelling is on another level.
The original author of the Metro series, Dmitry Glukhovsky, was brought on to write this prequel to his previous works, and it shows. The dialogue oozes class and puts the majority of other NPC dialogue in VR to shame. The characters are interesting to listen to and well-voice-acted. Leaning on the core fiction established in theMetroseries allows the story to stray well into the supernatural while telling a character story that feels grounded and emotional. FamiliarMetrogameplay elements like the gas mask and filters are brought over and translate well to VR. Both fans of VR shooters and fans ofMetroshould give this game a try.
Alien: Rogue Incursiondidn’t please everyone on release. It’s not an adrenaline-fueled shooter likeAliens: Fire Team Elite, and it’s not a stealthy horror game likeAlien: Isolation. It’s a highly polished action adventure FPS, with a great deal of authenticity in how it represents theAlienuniverse. While the campaign lacks the high points of some FPS campaigns, it does contain genuinely tense moments, especially early on in the game as the Xenomorphs hunt the player down.
The VR physics are uncommonly detailed, and while they may cause some collision issues when picking up objects from time to time, it’s worth it for moments like being able to pick up a face-hugger by its fully articulated legs. The retro-future art style ofAlienis well represented with CRT-style computer terminals and iconic technology like the pulse rifle and bio-scanner. While it’s perhaps not the best shooter on the platform, it’s well worth checking out forAlienfans.
13Arken Age
A New Age
Arken Agecame as a welcome surprise for many this January, as the FPS-RPG from little-known indie developer VitruviousVR offers a stunning amount of polish and content for its humble origins. For long-time VR players, their previous game,Shadow Legend, showed that the developer had an intuitive understanding of what makes a satisfying VR mechanic.Arken Agedelivers on all of that interactivity and more while building a much more fun, varied, and fulfilling game around it.
The game features a solid melee combat system, but the real stand-out feature is the guns. The alien weaponry available is varied enough, but the weapon progression system makes this variety even more satisfying. Players unlock weapon mods as they go, and these modular parts can be switched out on any weapon, leading to all kinds of unique combinations. On top of that,Arken Agehas a campaign that can take over 20 hours to get through, and a large secret-filled world to explore, giving it a lot of content for a VR title.
Breachersdraws its influence from flat-screen shooters likeRainbow Six: Siege. It’s a5v5 squad-based shooter, where the main game mode involves one team of attackers breaching against a team of defenders.Breachersis an exhilarating co-op experience for the same reasons asRainbow Six. There’s strategy and planning involved in assaulting or defending a position, making it a great game to play with friends.
The gadgets and tools players would expect are all there with some nice VR implementation, like planting and setting breaching charges. There’s a progression path for earning more weapons and equipment, too, making this game well worth your time.
It’s a relatively new entry on the PSVR 2, butMetal Hellsinger VRdeserves to be among the best. The rhythmic action is fast and fluid, similar to aDoom-style boomer shooter, with the added challenge of timing shots to the beat.
The symphonic metal soundtrack features all kinds of artists that metal fans will recognize, from Serj Tankian to Andy Blythe, and the eight main tracks present in the base game are an absolute joy to blast along to. The only downside here is that anyone who doesn’t like metal won’t get as much out of the game. Removing the rhythmic challenge from the game (which is an option) makes it feel a little lackluster.
On the surface,Pavlovlooks like another tactical shooter likeBreachers. Aiming for the realism ofCounter-Strikewith manual reloading mechanics — and offering similar squad-based game modes. But, digging deeper intoPavlovalso reveals some really creative game modes and additional content.
In addition to the search and destroy and team deathmatch game modes players would expect, there’s also a murder-mystery game (TTT), an asymmetrical monster vs players mode, and aCall of Duty-inspired Gun Game mode. There’s also a ton of weapons and attachments to use across the modes — players who like their VR gun mechanics will appreciate the level of detail.
The stylish visuals and lightning fast gameplay ofVendetta Foreverhave been catching players' attention since its demo. Now that the game is out onPSVR 2, it’s definitely amongthe best FPS games on the headset. It’s certainly the best arcade-style shooter.
The game’s main hook is that players only move by reaching out and grabbing the weapon dropped by the last enemy they killed. This means levels become a fast-paced zip from one enemy to the next, using whatever weapons come to hand.
It’s the set-pieces and variety within these levels that really shine, with each one presenting a unique scenario that plays out like an action movie fight scene. Escaping a villains' lair, fighting on a moving train, and duels are all present, as is basically any action movie trope one could think of. It’s a great formula that encourages replays with leaderboards, secrets, and an awesome soundtrack.
Hubrisis asingle-player FPSwith an epic sci-fi campaign. There’s a decent narrative and some incredible cinematic moments that use VR well to place the player right in the middle of the action. The shooting itself never ascends beyond competent, but there are three distinct weapon types, each with its own upgrades. It gives players a little incentive to explore and find extra upgrade materials, but it doesn’t get much deeper than that.
There’s more variety here than just endlessly mowing down waves of enemies, though. It’s a lengthy campaign that will have players performing medical procedures, riding a speeder bike, and more to break up the action. There are memorable moments inHubristhat will stick with players long after it ends.
Vertigo 2didn’t have the smoothest launch onPSVR 2, plagued by numerous performance issues and even game-breaking bugs. The worst of those have been long patched out, though, leavingVertigo 2as one of the most creative and memorable FPS games in VR.
It’s a 2000s-era FPS at heart, with a 15-hour campaign that takes players between a huge variety of environments with varied enemy types and a ton of creative boss fights. There are just enough physics-based environmental puzzles and diversions to provide welcome variety in the gameplay.
The weapons are a particular highlight, with a variety of interesting designs and even hidden weapons to seek out in additional playthroughs. ThePSVR 2version has all the updates that were brought to PC as well, meaning there are new game plus modes with modifiers and new characters to play, injecting some great replayability.
Synapseis a unique game and arguably has the best implementation ofPSVR 2’s unique features. Players have telekinetic abilities in the game, and theSynapseuses eye tracking to allow players to simply look at any object or enemy they want to use their powers on.
This seemingly simple feature adds a huge amount to the immersive aspects of gameplay, leading to a silky smooth flow where players can shoot with one hand while reeking telekinetic havoc with the other easily — no target swapping necessary.
What’s hard to convey to those who haven’t experienced it is just how good it feels to play. It’s a total power fantasy mechanic, enabling players to get creative as they go through a roguelite gameplay structure that, otherwise, lacks a little variety.
