Thanks to PSX (PlayStation Experience) and The Game Awards 2017, December has been chockfull of VR gaming announcements. We’ve gone through all of them and picked the most notable ones.
New Game Announcements
Vacation Simulator
- Platforms: PC, PSVR
- Launch Window: 2018
Vacation Simulator is billed as a sequel, since “after you job, you vacation”. In contrast to the small office environment of Job Simulator, players will tackle a full island of activities in this game, accompanied by a few robots. Judging by the trailer and Owlchemy Labs’ former work in the industry, this game is gonna be a good one.
Accounting+
- Platforms: PSVR, PC (eventually)
- Launch Window: December 19th, 2017
An upgraded port of the original Accounting game for PC, coming to PSVR. (Also PC eventually, according to the website). Accounting is an acid trip of a game that’s not about accounting, and Accounting+ is said to double the content available in the original VR experience.

A peaceful underwater game where players control two dolphins swimming throughout the ocean, solving puzzles and more. Looks to be a quite peaceful game.
