The three “bonus games” will be different games altogether; separate from the monthly free launches of PS Plus subscription. According to a piece covered by TheSixthAxis, since all previous PSVR games have been cross-platform titles, it wouldn’t be surprising if PlayStation decides to PS4 and PS5 exclusive titles.

In addition to the special surprise, the company also revealed some of its most played games over the past five years. And the list is rather surprising. The most played PSVR games globally are:

  • Rec Room
  • Beat Saber
  • PlayStation VR Worlds
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
  • Resident Evil 7 biohazard
