When PlayStation VR first hit the scene, it wasn’t just another peripheral — it was Sony’s ambitious leap into the future of gaming immersion. In this episode, we revisit the headset’s 2016 launch and unpack the early days of virtual reality on consoles — the excitement, the skepticism, and the motion sickness that came with both. From Batman: Arkham VR to EVE: Valkyrie, it was clear the technology was ahead of the ecosystem. The experiences were short, experimental, and often unforgettable. It wasn’t perfect, but for many, PSVR was the first time gaming truly surrounded you — literally. This was the dawn of console VR, and even with its limitations, it proved that the medium had a place beyond tech demos.
