Although the PSVR is only a few years old - and the PSVR2 even younger - there are already a plethora of games that you can experience. However, many games cost full price, so you may want to try out a few free games before purchasing games from genres that you've never played. Here are the best free games on the PSVR headset.

Plenty of PSVR games have received free upgrades on PSVR2, so if you've got a PS5 and Sony's more recent VR set, do check that out. Mind you, most of those games do have a price tag!

Genre

DICE, Pandemic Studios, Criterion Software.

Adventure Games

While it’s not technically free since you need a copy of Star Wars Battlefront, if you’re a Star Wars fan, chances are you already have it in your library. This isn’t a full game, but it’s definitely worth checking out.

In this mission, you get to take control of a Rebel X-wing during the events of *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story*, diving into intense space combat against Imperial forces. You’ll engage in high-speed dogfights, using the X-wing’s weapons to take down enemy fighters, making you feel like you’re right in the heart of the action. And of course, you can always take a moment to just soak in the breathtaking view of space.

Seeing Things From A New Perspective

Adventure Games

An unexpectedly emotional indie game that you can pick up for free, You Are Being Followed from Uncommon Chocolate is based on a BAFTA winning concept and it’s a deep gut punch at times.

You follow the perspective of Emma, a blind woman with just her guide-dog to keep her company in the world. Speaking of, it’s represented in abstract images and concepts that try to illustrate how potentially the visually impaired see their lives. Gorgeous from the outset, You Are Being Followed is a sleep hit that’s free and needs more eyes in a VR headset on it.

Well, technically this one isn't a game. But it's still pretty snazzy, and very much free. Kingdom Hearts VR Experience is an impressively-budgeted "music video retelling" of the first several games in the series.

Released in early 2019, no doubt as part of the big marketing promotion phase for Kingdom Hearts, VR Experience pulls viewers into the worlds of Disney's and Square Enix's collective imaginations in a unique way.

Rhythm

Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live is not only one of the best free games on the PSVR, it's also one of the most notable anime-themed games on the platform. In each match of this rhythm game you need to perform better to beat the past landmarks you've set for yourself, so it's a lot of fun to watch your progress as you play more and more.

The base game only includes nine songs, so you'll need to purchase one of the other music packs to make full use of this game. However, the free songs will keep you busy for hours, especially since there are multiple difficulty levels.

Allumette isn't quite a game, but instead, a story told through a VR perspective. You'll teleport to a new world, and experience a beautifully unique art style like nothing you've seen before. The city you'll explore is similar to Venice, only in the sky instead of on the ground.

Much like with the Fast and Furious series, it was only a matter of time before the Call of Duty franchise took us all into space for a quick adventure. Jump in, shoot down some ships, and take in the sights from the cockpit.
