How can I access the trial versions on PSVR 2?

To access the trial versions, you must be subscribed to the premium level of Sony's Playstation Plus paid subscription service. In the Playstation Plus menu of the smartphone app or directly on the console, you will find the "Games trials" tab. There, select "Show all" and set the filter at the top right under "Platform" to "VR".

The trial versions are unlocked for up to one hour. Only the time you actively spend in the game is counted. During the trial period, you will have full access to the full version of the game. If you decide to purchase the game later, your save game will be transferred. As a PS Plus member, you may also receive a discount on the purchase price.

Metro Awakening

Metro Awakening is a VR-exclusive prequel to the Metro 2033 shooter series, set in the shadowy tunnels of post-apocalyptic Moscow. Written by Metro creator Dmitry Glukhovsky, the game stands out for its deeply interactive environments, satisfying weapon mechanics, and a gripping sense of atmosphere.

On the downside, the level design occasionally falls into linearity, enemy AI can be predictable, and the placement of save points sometimes feels unfair. Still, Metro Awakening delivers a solid seven to nine hours of story-driven gameplay, requiring no previous experience with the Metro series to enjoy its well-constructed narrative.

Moss is a VR classic, having been released for Playstation VR in 2018. However, the game still impresses today with its beautifully designed game world.

Moss: Book 2 continues the story of Quill the mouse and once again offers innovative game mechanics and a lot of heart.
