Casual VR guy here. Human within is probably the game I’m most excited about since I got the 3 last year. I feel like it will blend VR experience and entertainment like we haven’t seen yet.
VR with DnD?! YES PLEASE! Even if its a mixed tabletop with zoomable landscapes and such. Or FPV wizards, rogue elves with bows, or a clunky barbarian with a great axe. Yes yes yes
Started off strong with Steam content, ended strong with the Deckard. I might actually rebuild the VR space around this time next year. Thanks for the vid. Hopefully for the future of high quality VR gaming. 😉
At this point, Quest has such a huge lead it'll take either miraculous hardware at miraculous prices (ie apple vision quality at quest price) or killer must-have exclusive app for reasonably priced hardware to knock them off their perch. And I suspect that the Quest 4 will have pancake OLED with close to apple resolution and microprocessor for under $1K. With their library, that would be hard to beat.
Wow, Matteo, great video! I'm really looking foward to several of these games, particularly Cave Crave, Cold VR, Pools VR, which sounds suitably weird, and both Wanderer and Gunman Contracts. As to Hitman: The Fourth Try... hoping for the best, not holdin' my breath. Ahhhh, Pimax: I still won't believe it, even if I see it. Not unless they MASSIVELY improve their QC and Customer Service between now and this headset's alleged release date... but at least their new product announcements still feel like going to the circus.. And Valve... fervently hoping the rumors become more than rumors, but you know they never announce their stuff until they're ready to start taking orders, if not selling them outright, and while they may have issues, they've rarely gotten complaints of being unwilling to work with their customers. For them, I'll keep holding my breath and setting aside a bit of change, so I can get whatever headset they announce---when/if the rumors become reality.
I like the Pools VR. It really conveys the feeling of how weird it would feel if you were trapped in rooms with full of water. Not every game must be a zombie shooter.
How about the conquer and command series in 3-D. Where you’re actually walking the landscape, pointing in building, pointing at your army, to attack the advancing army, with all the blowing up around, you would be kind of cool.
It's going to be another great year for VR. At this moment I'm looking forwards to Alien Rogue Incursion and Wanderer. But honestly, any good games will get my attention.
You mentioned the Pimax Dream, but what about the Pimax headset that will be available to try at CES (which I’ve signed up to demo), the Super. Yes Pimax has had some over promised hardware in the past, but what other company is constantly working with PCVR enthusiasts to release high end hardware at a more affordable price? I’ve been using the Crystal for the past year and it’s been by far my favorite PCVR headset to date so I’m excited for their Super. Pimax gets way too much hate from the VR industry and most are from people who don’t even own or use a Pimax headset. If anything, we should be looking to support and provide constructive criticism to smaller companies and teams that want to push the bounds of VR forward. None the less, great content as always Matteo. Happy New Year to you and your family!
I'm really looking forward to Wanderer! I am super bummed i won't be able to play that new Hitman game OR Vertigo. I will say that by the end of HM on the Q3, I had lots of fun. I just wish it would've went better so we could get more.
7:35 I've noticed that (in VR) Unreal engine titles tend to be much worse than other engines, in particular Unity. There are some that are alright. But it seems that Unreal Engine doesn't shine when it comes to realistic, fluid, fast interactions. Also strong tendency towards a lot of bugs.
It may seem uncommon, but can’t wait for Pools. There hasn’t been any decent Backrooms VR games out there that haven’t been half complete, look awful, or experimental.
Many interesting titles are coming, 2025 could also be another good year for VR. Wanderer is already here, from hearsay, already at Alyx level, and the upcoming remake could probably surpass it. And Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone is my most anticipated VR title. Edit: I hope they don't take offence, but I would like to point out Homeworld: Vast Reaches(Steam).
You couldn't pay me to play that Cave Crave game, lol. Not saying it won't be good but the thought of getting stuck in a cave is one of my biggest fears.
just recently got a new pc, i have a ques 3s and a psvr2, my wifi isnt the best so i got to use a usb cable for the quest to play on pc, should i just invest into the psvr pc adapter for a better experience ? or am i just fine using the quest with link
@sodapopinksi667 yes I did try once unfortunately im a little too far from my router where I’m currently at and it makes the the latency on the controller pretty bad, so until I get a better router or extender , i gotta use a wired solution for now
Those games in the video I skip all of them on my PC I hope Meta announce more bangers soon, Nothing besides Alyx and Metro comes close to Batman, Assassins Creed and Asgard's Wrath, the Standalone exclusives are usually more polished and well made
I would be interested in you covering the interactive game. Never played a VR game live actors, so I wonder if it even works. Pushing different approaches to VR games is important though. All the shooters & vehicle sims get boring after awhile:)
I don't see nothing to be excited In 2024 we got Batman, Zero Caliber 2, Behemoth, Aliens and some surprises like Triangle Strategy VR I don't see a single announced VR game to be excited in 2025 But let's hope to see what else can be announced
@@ZFCaio what? Yes this is a list of games, I am saying its missing a lot of cool 2025 VR games that aren't directly in a quick steam search. The hell you on about man lol.
@@bearofthewest389 my point was just that 2024 had much better games, my list has the main ones, of course there is much more, I bought Metal Hellsinger on Steam for example
A Human Within could be nice. I enjoyed The Faceless Lady very much and I think there aren’t enough good 360 stereoscopic movies around. I’m also curious about The Midnight Walk, I like the clay-stop motion look very much, I hope they make a good game. For the price, I might even try Pools too. Do you know if there will be a PC VR version for Aliens Rouge Incursion? About Pimax Dream: please people, do not pre-order, you’ll be throwing away your money. If the Valve Deckard becomes a reality, they have my money. Also, I enjoyed Vertigo 2 a lot (except the skeleton boss with the turbant) so, looking forward to the DLC too .
Unfortunately the only games that stand out to me are Wanderer and Gunman, I’m really hoping for some surprise announcements for 2025, idk how you beat 2024
Hope Robo Quest doesn't give me motion sickness. I barely actually play anything, but I played a ton of the flat version. Also will keep an eye on Human Within. I'm a sucker for cheesy FMV games.
What is this 4th chaam you speak of? Jokes aside it kinda seems like Gunman is doing everything right that hitman has repeatedly failed at. It's going to be really comical if they slap hitmans devs in the face by including really good stealth on top of the origional mods crazy good combat.
Its like every year. Mobilw Gamera have to wait until Oktober/November (Christmas market) or on the realeas of a new Quest HMD to get "good" new VR Games😅
Why is every game a first person shooter? 😅 Would love to see some more variety in VR games. Definitely interested in DND VR…not nearly enough turn based RPG experiences in VR.
Honestly the only game I'm remotely excited about is pirates vr. Even that one may be meh. Maybe we will have to wait until spring time for some actual big games to be announced.
If you’re stand alone. The most used VR headset for PCVR on Steam is the Quest2 follow by the Quest 3 and the valve index at 3rd according to Steam’s own Steam report.
Many titles to play and i agree with most of your statements, i do hope they do a PCVR port of Hitman if it's good. As far as Pimax goes, they have proven one thing and one thing only from when they began till now, THEY NEVER DELIVER! So they are just a waste of money! Even if it gets made, you can bet, it lacks features and will have zero support! Honestly they are just giving VR a bad name these days! I hope Valve will do a better job, but, they and Google/Samsung are way WAY behind Meta now, they'd have to sell a cheaper headset with no library! If anything i think Meta will benefit from the billions they invested the coming years, and not a fanboy, but they should, they are the biggest reason for VR growth. Hope the competition isn't too late!
@@andreasmoller9798 Not for me, I don't have a racing wheel, and I am not super interested in Racing sims, I prefer arcade games like Forza Horizon (I've been playing this one on my SteamDeck).
It’s not always about mechanics, it’s a subliminal experience. The objective is to explore and solve a hidden puzzle. It’s a flat PC port. I don’t know what you were expecting them to change. There is Roblox Backrooms if you want mechanics.
Only cool people like, comment and subscribe.
What game are you most looking forward to.
Secrets of Antares
Arken age is easily my most anticipated psvr2 game. Hopefully it lives up to the trailers.
When I first saw a shot of Arken Age it reminded me of Stormlands
Is there any good question 2 gun games coming out
Psvr2 is killing it. So glad this headset is doing well. After a rocky start.
Man , there needs to way more vr content . To many RUclipsrs and not enough content . Recycled info every 3 weeks .
They all do the exact same videos lmao and it is always trying to build hype for the same games.
@@jonissues1914you’re not wrong.
Casual VR guy here. Human within is probably the game I’m most excited about since I got the 3 last year. I feel like it will blend VR experience and entertainment like we haven’t seen yet.
Great list, VR games are just getting better every time🔥
VR with DnD?! YES PLEASE! Even if its a mixed tabletop with zoomable landscapes and such. Or FPV wizards, rogue elves with bows, or a clunky barbarian with a great axe. Yes yes yes
I have a Steam Deck & Quest 3 right now and let me tell you if Valve combines these two in 2025 that's going to be a game changer 💯
Started off strong with Steam content, ended strong with the Deckard. I might actually rebuild the VR space around this time next year.

Midnight walk “doesn’t look cool”?!? Thats the one thing it does at the moment… look cool 😂
I'm not taking a opinon of somebody seriously if they don't think a claymation horror VR game looks cool lol.
@@bearofthewest389yeah it looks great
Literally little nightmares in vr
@@bearofthewest389Yeah seriously. Looks incredible. Most unique VR game visually we've seen. Hope it delivers.
Heads up, Midnight Walk is incorrectly labeled as Aces of Thunder
Wow, Matteo, great video!

Absolutely sick list of games for 2025!!
I'm most excited about Aces of Thunder. There is also a Rick and Morty game someone kind of put together.
Cold is coming to Quest as well. In fact, it seems the PSVR 2 version will come later.
Would love to see more passive coop games for VR, love the idea of the board game one. Very cool
Human Within review, yes please! Nice to see all those great titles on the PSVR2.
Definitely cover Human Within.
How about the conquer and command series in 3-D. Where you’re actually walking the landscape, pointing in building, pointing at your army, to attack the advancing army, with all the blowing up around, you would be kind of cool.
Can't wait, this year was overwhelmingly good and 2025 looks very good as well
How about GTA six. Let rockstar get involved.
I wish they'd remake a lot of AAA games in VR like Witcher3, RDR2, Cyberpunk, AC games, and MGS5
Maybe finish GTA SA VR first?
It's going to be another great year for VR. At this moment I'm looking forwards to Alien Rogue Incursion and Wanderer. But honestly, any good games will get my attention.
Everyone comparing PSVR2 to Quest, both systems have good and bad, let’s just enjoy VR no matter what system you’re using. Enjoy
Could you please cover "Human Within".

Hey can you find out if blood trail and he’ll split arena are coming to quest stand-alone
I love my quest but a portable vr valve headset would be amazing. Loved the news and upcoming games.

Impressive lineup, I hope the Quest 4 will be able to handle some of these PCVR titles.
Those games in the video I skip all of them on my PC
I hope Meta announce more bangers soon,
Nothing besides Alyx and Metro comes close to Batman, Assassins Creed and Asgard's Wrath, the Standalone exclusives are usually more polished and well made
Pirate VR looks interesting. The 3D movie one looks cool, shame it is just on the Quest. Aces of Thunder is on my wish list.
I would be interested in you covering the interactive game. Never played a VR game live actors, so I wonder if it even works. Pushing different approaches to VR games is important though. All the shooters & vehicle sims get boring after awhile:)
Any VR headset that only offers a single strap to the back of your head(Dream Air) should be named the migraine machine
Im really looking forward to 2025 for VR after the titles we got this year it's only going to get better.
I don't see nothing to be excited
In 2024 we got Batman, Zero Caliber 2, Behemoth, Aliens and some surprises like Triangle Strategy VR
I don't see a single announced VR game to be excited in 2025

VR games seem to be under utilizing everything you can. I don't understand why VR game makers push this idea that they need to be too simplistic.
I don’t think you’ve ever played a vr game…
Pools is poop. Literally a boring walking sim
He's just giving a list of what's to come...all games aren't for everyone.....
All those games look like crap. More glorified mobile games…. Exciting…
How is pools VR even on this list? It isn't even a game. No gameplay, just a tech demo at best...
