PS4, PSVR, PS3 & PS Vita New Releases: October 9 to 15, 2016 – Rise of VR

Thanks to the release of PlayStation VR on Thursday, this is probably the biggest week of 2016 from a quantity standpoint. If you’re planning on picking up a PSVR headset, you’ll be able to choose from a variety launch titles, including Batman: Arkham VR, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, DriveClub VR, RIGS: Mechanized Combat League, EVE: Valkyrie, and more.

Even without the launch of PlayStation VR on Thursday, it’s still a strong week for new releases, as Dragon Quest Builders comes to PS4 and PS Vita, Rise of the Tomb Raider finally arrives on PS4, WWE 2K17 hits PS4 and PS Vita, and Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour heads to PS4. If you’re wondering about Skylanders Imaginators, it releases in Europe this Friday, with North America getting it on Sunday, October 16.

*All games/content are releasing in North America and Europe, unless otherwise noted.
