Does what it says on the tin, innit.
When Sony announced a price and release window for PlayStation VR at GDC today, it also casually mentioned it had a whopping 230 companies working on content for the virtual reality headset.
To back up this claim, it then emailed over a list. It’s a lot to take in, and I don’t know where to start. From Software is making a VR game! Epic seems to be prepping Unreal 4 for PlayStation VR! Make your own headlines in the comments.
Sony has said it’s tracking 50 games for release for PlayStationVR by the end of 2016. I can pick a few names on this list I’d like to see go first.
