Four New PlayStation VR Games Revealed
Four new games for PlayStation VR were revealed at PlayStation Experience today—Job Simulator, Eclipse, Distance, and Classroom Aquatic.
No release dates have been announced for any of these four games, but you'll be able to play demos for Distance and Eclipse at PlayStation Experience this weekend.
Job Simulator is, well, a job simulator. Eclipse is a first-person exploration game set in a dark and eery land. Distance, a survival racing game, brings players into the driver's seat. Classroom Aquatic puts players into an underwater dolphin classroom.
Job Simulator was created to remind humans what it's like "to job," because human workers have been replaced by robots.
