The first ever VR Showcase just took place earlier today, and it brought with it quite a good number of announcements. 17 games from 7 different studios were shown during the presentation, from existing titles coming to new platforms to brand new IPs, from remakes of classic titles to ports of flat-screen games into VR. Below is a trailer for each game, along with a link to the VR Showcase page for it. Let's see what's coming!
Note: When mentioning "Meta Quest systems", we're talking about the Quest 3 or Pro, as the Meta Quest 2 or lower are unlikely to be supported.

Alice has fallen into Wonderland! Can you help her escape?

Frenzies | Meta Quest, PS VR2

Band Space | Meta Quest, PC VR
Have you ever wanted to start a band? Well now's your chance, and without the exorbitant costs that comes with it.

Into the Radius | PS VR2
The sci-fi survival shooter set in the titular Radius is making its way to the PlayStation. Avoid various deadly anomalies that will kill you on sight, and survive as long as possible using realistic VR recreations of tons of weapons, like the M4A1, MP412 REX, and, of course, the AK-47. Into the Radius is already out on Meta Quest and PC, and will be coming to the PS VR2 on September 19.
Fracked | Meta Quest
The skiing-shooter makes its way to the Meta Quest. Fill your enemies with bullets while sliding down a snowy mountain at high speed, and look stylish while doing it (you do, trust us). Fracked is already out for PC and the original PS VR, and is coming to Meta Quest systems August 29th.
Silent Slayers | PC VR

Vendetta Forever | Meta Quest, PS VR2
Yet another way to relive Hollywood-style cinematic shootouts!
