5 VR Games With Local Multiplayer To Play With Your Friends and Family
Platforms: PlayStation VR [PSN Store]
Several of the games are best played with a group of people — some inside the headset, some holding controllers, some just yelling out things from the screen — and it’s sure to yield a few hours of fun for any group. This is one of the best party games we’ve seen in a long time.
Platforms: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and OSVR [Steam]
In Black Hat Cooperative, you get to actually live out that fantasy. One of you puts on the headset and goes into a first-person view as you explore the different levels and the out-of-headset operative feeds you information and directions, as well as hacks into systems for you.
Platforms: HTC Vive [Steam]
This game lets us all live out our fantasy of working in the food service industry. The person inside the headset is a chef making burgers and other types of food at a diner while the other person walks the floor taking orders while playing on the PC screen.
Platforms: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, OSVR [Steam]
If you can round up enough people, Ruckus Ridge might be the most fun party game we’ve seen in VR yet. The person inside the headset has a gun and has to hunt down everyone else. The other people play off of the monitor screen using gamepads while they run around, hide, and evade their headset adversary.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Platforms: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, OSVR, PlayStation VR, and Samsung Gear VR [Steam] [Gear VR] [PSN Store]
The headset-wearing player is in a room, alone, with a ticking bomb that’s about to explode and has to defuse it before time runs out. The catch is that the only way to defuse it is by following the instructions that only the non-headset wearing players can see. Either on-screen or via their phone or tablet, they have to relay instructions based on what the bomb defuser sees inside the headset.
