Iron Man
Prefer Marvel? The PSVR has you covered with Iron Man VR, in which you’ll take on the role of Tony Stark, utilising his futuristic suit to its maximum capability. All your favourite Iron Man gear is here to be used, and you can even customise the suit with a whole host of upgrades.
Follow a fascinating and resonant story, in which you’ll do battle with anti-corporate extremists who have repurposed Stark Industries tech. This game will thrust you into a universe you’ll never want to leave.
Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR series
Sticking with beloved IPs, Vader Immortal allows you to explore the Star Wars universe like never before, thanks to stunning graphics and a gripping story.
