PlayStation VR2 has just confirmed an additional title in its upcoming launch on February 22, 2023. With the forthcoming release of this new technology, Sony has announced several games which will be available alongside the PS VR2.
The PlayStation VR was a virtual reality headset developed and produced by Sony Interactive Entertainment that was first released in October 2016. Meanwhile, its successor the PS VR2 is expected to be an improvement over its predecessor with its enhancements in display resolution, the field of view, tracking accuracy, and overall design. As such, fans are steadily waiting for the PS VR2's arrival along with the first wave of games that will utilize this new and impressive gadget.
In a YouTube video posted by PlayStation, the channel announced the official release of Garden of the Sea for PS VR2 via a trailer. The video shows the activities the player can do such as petting animals, fishing, farming, and other staple activities from this type of game. Accompanied by fun music, the island setting looks to be a romp across a VR world that helps create a simple and fun vibe for the user. Garden of the Sea joins the list of available launch titles for the PlayStation VR2 in February, adding more variety to the line-up.
Garden of the Sea was first released in January 2021 by Neat Corporation—with the game being available on Oculus Quest and on PC. The title is more of a relaxation sim than an actual game as it encourages players to go at their own pace. Similar to titles such as Harvest Moon, Minecraft, and other crafting and farming sims, Garden of the Sea takes a different approach by taking a lot of the elements and bringing them to VR in a more free and open setting. Perhaps its charm lies in the graphical representation—opting to go for a more cartoon look.
Users buying the PlayStation VR2 will be able to enjoy the diverse line-up of games. With Garden of the Sea's addition, a sim-like experience will be added to the list providing an option for players to take a break from more action-oriented releases such as Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil Village, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, and many others. As VR titles usually have shorter playtime than regular ones, the open-ended nature of Garden of the Sea will help fans get more acquainted with the technology, as well as maximize their appreciation of the relaxing in-game atmosphere.
