10 Best Sports Games On PSVR2

Delving into the catalog of games available for the PS VR2 can be a bit daunting. Numerous titles feel like unknown quantities, with many VR games not breaking into the mainstream zeitgeist of conversation at present as virtual reality continues to find its footing in the world of modern gaming and PlayStation struggles to get VR headsets on noggins.

With some trial and error, however, there are some absolute gems to be found in the world of VR that stack up nicely alongside the titles you’ve maybe already heard of.

If you’re a sports fan, the same idea applies. PS VR2 offers some great sporting options from big developers, along with several lesser-known entries that are absolutely worth your time.

Let’s take out the uncertainty of purchasing VR games for you and see how all the best PS VR2 sports games stack up so you can hit the ground running.

10 C-Smash VRS New Dimension

A Classic Racket-Sport In Space

A reimagining of Cosmic Smash, an arcade-turned-Dreamcast game from the turn of the millennium, C-Smash VRS New Dimension is a hybrid of a brick breaker and several racket sports. It boasts a nifty, minimalist, sci-fi setting reminiscent of Superhot at a glance.

Compared to most VR games, C-Smash demands a larger physical play space in your home to handle the scale of its design, but it’s worth pushing some furniture around to accommodate this fast-paced title.

It’s a nice alternative for those who are rarely able to sync up their schedules with their tennis, squash, or racquetball partner in real life.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn what it feels like to be constantly bombarded with incoming footballs, Cleansheet could be for you.

Stepping onto the pitch as a goalkeeper, your only objective is to keep the other team out of the net. It sounds simple, but the pros are pros for a reason.

The game functions as more of a football training sim as you practice defending shots from opposing corners and free kicks or chase a high score in an arcade mode, but there is something extremely satisfying about tipping away a bullet header as it careens across your visor. Just remember not to actually dive.

8 WHAT THE BAT?

Edward Baseball Bat-hands

WHAT THE BAT? postures the question we’ve all been too afraid to ask: What if I was born with baseball bats for hands?

It’s a ridiculous setup that starts with the player fumbling with their wooden appendages as they try to move building blocks and eat baby food.

Debatably more comedy/puzzle game than pure sports, WHAT THE BAT? still eventually gets you onto the field as you use your hand-bats to coax various objects towards absurd goals.

Each puzzle is short, but encourages some critical thinking and fun experimentation. It’s a great pseudo-followup to the previous game in this franchise, WHAT THE GOLF?. I suppose you could say this one is a real homerun.

7 Kayak VR: Mirage

The Calm Of The Open Water

Kayak VR: Mirage is a game made for casual sports fans and relentlessly competitive ones. On the one hand, it’s an impressively realistic feeling kayak racing game complete with online leaderboards allowing you to compete against other players in real-time.

But where this game really shines is in its free-roam mode. Here, players can choose to paddle in Costa Rica, Norway, Antarctica, Australia, or Italy (DLC) at various times of day and in different types of weather.

Getting out on the water with the freedom to go at your own pace while taking in the game’s gorgeous visuals and sounds of the world around you truly makes Kayak VR: Mirage a contender to crack the list of most relaxing video games.

6 Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition

Boxing Day Every Day

Alternatively titled Ivan Drago’s Revenge, Creed: Rise To Glory – Championship Edition allows you to mix and match boxers from the Creed and Rocky film franchises and have them whale away at each other to crown an ultimate champion.

The boxing controls in VR are fluid and intuitive, and the feeling of staring down a straight jab from Clubber Lang while in a VR headset is unlike anything else.

Creed also contains a solid story mode as you train under Rocky Balboa and climb through the ranks. PS VR2 haptics here are also on full display, including the headset vibrating aggressively if you happen to get clipped by an especially hard blow to the dome.

5 Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR

Robo Ping-Pong Paradise

If you’re someone who still looks back fondly on table tennis in Wii Sports: Resort, this one’s for you. Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR is the next step in your journey of virtual ping-pong.

Featuring a progressively challenging solo story mode or the ability to take your talents online, Racket Fury truly feels like you’re playing a match against a robot friend.

The paddle feels completely natural in your hand, you’re able to add spin to your shots, motion is snappy, and the tracking of the ball is always on point.

Despite competing against literal bots, Racket Fury feels amazingly tactile, real, and is a bit of a VR workout game, too.

4 VR Skater

Eric Koston Simulator

As fans of EA’s Skate anxiously await early access in 2025, there’s a VR title from Deficit Games that can scratch a similar itch. VR Skater is shooting for as much virtual skating realism as possible and consistently sticks the landing.

Adjusting to a VR skateboarding game where your controllers in your hands act as your means of locomotion is weird at first, but becomes strangely natural by the time you wrap the tutorial up.

VR Skater is satisfying to cruise around in Free Roam and also features multiple unlockable levels with separate goals and challenges to test your skills with.

3 Nock

Archery Meets Rocket League

It feels lazy to call Nock the VR equivalent of Rocket League with a bow and arrow instead of a vehicle, but that’s really it.

However, that’s not a knock against Nock. Truly, this soccer meets competitive archery formula, which feels like pure magic in the headset, resulting in one of the best titles on PS VR2, period.

Skating and jumping around the icy playing surface of Nock is a genuine thrill, and the responsiveness and accuracy of the bow and arrow you wield is a feat in virtual reality game development.

In addition to the frantic, absolutely addicting soccer-like gameplay, Nock also boasts a bumping soundtrack and adorably wiggly-armed characters that let you dance around to the beat as you compete.

This title deserves a thriving online player base, and it’s sadly lacking at the moment on PS VR2. Even so, Nock is a blast offline against bots as well, and it is truly a VR experience everyone needs to try out.

2 Gran Turismo 7

A Flagship In VR And Out

Gran Turismo 7 carries on the legacy of its predecessors brilliantly with its same familiar gameplay loop of getting a car, winning a race, winning some money, getting a new license, and repeating as you work your way up from a Honda Fit Hybrid to Ayrton Senna’s McLaren Formula One car.

But what truly makes the seventh entry in the series take a leap forward is its nearly flawless VR functionality.

Getting behind the wheel of a supercar going 200 MPH in virtual reality is a rush. The immersion is incredible as your windshield wipers fend off pouring rain, and your rivals literally fade into your rearview mirror.

Springing for a nice steering wheel/foot pedal combo makes Gran Turismo 7 even more incredible, but even with a regular DualSense, it’s unmissable for sports and racing fans in VR.

1 Walkabout Mini Golf

Putt-Putt: Infinite

Topping the list of best sports games on PSVR2 is Walkabout Mini Golf. Truly a game with seemingly unlimited amounts of content, Walkabout Mini Golf comes with 288 holes to play.

This becomes a staggering 1,080 holes if you purchase all the (wonderful and worth it) DLC courses.

Course variety is incredible, ranging from locations themed after classic mini-golf designs, outer space, Atlantis, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, and much, much more. Haptics on the controllers make it truly feel like you’re striking a golf ball, and the scale of the holes is absolutely spot on.

Stepping onto a new course in Walkabout Mini Golf feels like you’re being transported somewhere. Play it solo and try to improve your high scores, or play with friends online.

Walkabout Mini Golf is not only the best sports game on PS VR2, but is also the game we’ll all be playing together in nursing homes someday.
