When PlayStation VR buyers plug in their headsets next month, Sony wants them to get their footing with a real, physical demo disc. The game list can be seen below. For those of us who grew up playing demos of games for longer periods of time than the campaign of many modern games, it might be hard to understand why Old Man Winslett is so excited. The PlayStation VR is due out on October 13th.

If you are getting the PlayStation VR headset this October, you will be happy to know that it will include a free demo for you to try out.
Sony will be holding a major event tomorrow where the PlayStation 4 Slim is expected to be officially announced.

As of right now there is no official word on which demos are playable vs. cinematic, or whether they are full-game demos or short experiences pulled from the game. It’s not clear whether you’ll be able to download these demos without the disc, and it’s possible to interpret this as a sign that Sony thinks its network won’t be up to supporting a bunch of VR game downloads on launch day.

RIGS is the PSVR’s big multiplayer launch title, putting players in the cockpit of mechs and allowing them to square off in a sort of mix between basketball and first-person shooter. Either way, the hope on the part of the publishers is that the demo will help encourage sales of the full games.
