Sony has once again dipped its toes into the realm of digital PS5 game codes, but with a twist, it's exclusively for PSVR2 titles. Reports from Brazilian YouTuber JOAO_PSX reveal that Sony has lifted its ban on third-party sales of digital game codes for PlayStation titles outside of the PlayStation Store, but only for the immersive realm of PSVR2.
PS5 digital game codes are back in action, but this time they're taking a VR-centric approach. Sony's ambitious venture into Virtual Reality with the PSVR2 hasn't quite hit the stratospheric heights they envisioned. But fear not, as the tech giant is tinkering with new strategies to bolster the VR experience. By making PSVR2 titles available through cheaper third-party codes and hinting at future PC support, Sony aims to inject fresh enthusiasm into its VR ecosystem. While the PSVR2 hardware boasts top-tier quality, its software lineup has been lacking, exacerbated by the absence of backward compatibility with older PSVR titles.
The question on everyone's mind: will this initiative extend to non-VR PS5 titles? For now, the answer remains elusive, as Sony keeps its focus firmly on the world of virtual reality. A quick glance at the available titles reveals a promising array including Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil Village, Cities Skylines VR, and Star Wars: Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge, all up for grabs via third-party retailers. And here's the kicker - some of these games offer optional VR support, meaning even those without a PSVR2 headset could get in on the action.
Cast your mind back to March 2019 when Sony dropped the bombshell memo to retailers, effectively cutting off the supply of full game digital download codes. From that moment on, the PlayStation Store reigned supreme as the sole purveyor of digital games. But amidst the upheaval, add-on content and PlayStation Store credit vouchers remained unscathed by the ban. Now, with this unexpected turn of events, the game is afoot once more in the world of digital codes, albeit with a virtual twist.
