From The Midnight Walk to Besiege, May is packing plenty of new VR games. Here are our latest monthly highlights.
April quickly turned into the busiest month of the year so far for new games. Ghost Town, Vertigo 2: Into the Aether, Pinball FX VR, Harpagun, Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, Vestiges: Fallen Tribes, Civilization VII VR, and GORN 2 delivered considerable variety, and that's before we get into other releases like I, Robot, Elements Divided and Rival Stars Horse Racing.
May will continue this busy trend with a wide slate of new VR titles across various genres, though horror seems particularly prominent this month. As always, we'll keep updating this list should any further games get announced or pushed back, while our comprehensive upcoming VR games list remains active with even more titles.
Here are our highlights for new VR games on Quest, PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Pico this April.
