Sony Euro PS blog seems to clear the air about the exclusivity status of the PSVR titles.

https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2016/10/05/heres-the-playstation-vr-software-launch-line-up-in-full/

several games that were announced only for PS VR currently (with no Rift or Vive version announced), seems to have no permanent exclusivity (they have a "Play it first on PlayStation VR" tag). Of cause this is not a confirmation that they will surely be coming to the Rift/Vive after a certain period of time. It is only a confirmation that they will be exclusive for PSVR in the near future at least.

Timed Exclusive
100ft Robot Golf
Battlezone
Batman Arkham VR
Harmonix Music VR
Headmaster
Rez Infinite
Superhypercube
Volume: Coda
Wayward Sky
Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-wing VR Mission
Robinson: The Journey
How We Soar
Tethered
Megaton Rainfall


These titles are PSVR exclusive, so its extremely unlikely we will see them on other platforms (permanently exclusive). Most if not all of them are first party anyway:

Playstation Exclusive
Bound
Driveclub VR
Here They Lie
Hustle Kings VR
Super Stardust VR
Playstation VR Worlds
RIGS Mechanized Combat League
The Playroom VR
Tumble VR
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood


The rest of the list, well doesn't seems to be locked down by anything. I guess it means they can be ported by Rift/Vive by the developers any time they want, if there isn't a Rift/Vive version by now. Interestingly Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin doesn't have a "Play it first on PSVR" or "PSVR exclusive" tag.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X and Resident Evil 7 has a Playstation exclusive content tag. No idea what it really means for Hatsune Miku, considering that the based game is for PS4 (which naturally mean it should have a PSVR exclusive tag instead)

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

That's a long list of exclusives! I hope it lives up to the hype!

Day 1 when Rez Infinite comes to PC.

 

[hodgy100]

Ooooh rez Infinite PC... May put my purchase on hold

 

[Prophet Steve]

Rez...PC...CAN IT BE!?

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

So wait, Rez Infinite might come to PC?!

OH MY GOD, GREAT NEWS!

Guess I'm gonna wait for that.

 

[T.O.P]

REZ on PC thank you

 

[Ionic]

Gimme Rez and gimme Thumper on Vive.

 

[Hale-XF11]

I suspected that Psychonauts wasn't exclusive, but I'm glad to hear confirmation. I'd be sad if I couldn't play that on PC at some point.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Gimme Rez and gimme Thumper on Vive.

The standout games from what I've seen recently... wouldn't be opposed to be playing them on the Vive!

 

[Eolz]

Rez PC is known since a while yeah.
PS4 is not a platform where people should assume games are automatically exclusive.

 

[itshutton]

I'm surprised at Here They Lie being exclusive!

 

[singhr1]

It's probably more likely REZ never makes it to PC, like how most Japanese devs choose not to port to PC over piracy fears.

But, id love to be wrong.

I'm surprised at Here They Lie being exclusive!

It's published by Sony so

 

[czk]

did anyone confirm REZ for PC?

 

[ArtHands]

Rez PC is known since a while yeah.
PS4 is not a platform where people should assume games are automatically exclusive.

Rez PC is known since a while? where you get that?

Playstation Exclusive
Bound

RIGS Mechanized Combat League

These are all Sony IPs. And you forgot FARPOINT. Another Sony IP.

 

[User123456]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Ace Combat 7 isn't going to be Playstation VR exclusive, or at least not Playstation 4 exclusive. Something about the wording of the official page...

https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/ace-combat-7-ps4/

PlayStation®4 players will be further immersed in ACE COMBAT 7’s realism through exclusive features developed specifically for the Sony PlayStation VR.

Do we know anything official regarding this one's exclusivity?

 

[Brutalitops]

Very glad most of the games are not exclusive.

 

[User123456]

Very glad most of the games are not exclusive.

Interestingly enough, pretty much all the games I liked are Sony-developed games (Driveclub, RIGS, Farpoint). That almost never happens, especially in the past couple generations. It brings me memories of playing Gran Turismo and Wipeout on PS2...
That might change with Ace Combat 7 and Doom VR, but right now, I would simply not jump into VR without Sony's exclusives.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Gimme Rez and gimme Thumper on Vive.

The devs of Thumper said in the Steam Community forums that they are working on Oculus/Vive, at least they gave enough hints to know htat you can play it on PC in VR.

 

[EVO]

I had a feeling Rez would go multiplat. Glad I held off on PSVR now.

 

[NoKisum]

REZ PC? This will make I think the fourth time I purchase the game. Totally worth it though.

Spoiler

Also, trance vibrator mods!

 

[AnthonypUK]

VR is so niche, i'm sure all companies understand 3rd parties need to be allowed to on all headsets to make any money, i'd not expect many to be permanent moneyhats.

Glad they're being open about it.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Day 1 when Rez Infinite comes to PC.

.

 

[Zia]

Timed third-party exclusives for a first generation VR headset is so fucking wrongheaded.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I'm not a fan of this kind of business really as it feels like paying to delay it on other platforms, but at least they are being transparent about it.

I'm surprised at Here They Lie being exclusive!

It's a Sony IP, co-developed by Santa Monica Studios. Generally anything which lists Japan Studio, XDEV or Santa Monica in the trailer splash screen will be a Sony IP.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I think its more surprising what happened to Robinson. It was first showed as an Oculus title, then it was somehow PSVR exclusive and now it seems in 6 months it will be on PCVR again.

 

[KKRT00]

Robinson was not shown as a Oculus title.
Only Back to Dinosaur Island 2 VR Demo was shown on oculus and its downloadable on steam for everyone right now.

Day 1 when Rez Infinite comes to PC.

Oh my god yes. I've been waiting so many years for a PC port of Rez, especially since Rez HD came out on the 360.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Only Back to Dinosaur Island 2 VR Demo was shown on oculus and its downloadable on steam for everyone right now.

It was:

http://www.theriftarcade.com/heres-robinson-the-journey-prototype-running-on-oculus-rift-cv1/

Now, thanks to AMD, we can see the first prototype footage of the game running on an Oculus Rift Crescent Bay prototype headset.

http://www.roadtovr.com/hands-on-cr...pe-motion-controls-back-to-dinosaur-island-2/

Back to Dinosaur Island 2 was actually a prototype for Robinson, so people were believing that Robinson was an Oculus title.

 

[Yudoken]

Holy moly, REZ finally on pc!

 

[Darth Smurf X]

You have Rise of the Tomb Raider in 2 of the lists (Timed and No Exclusive).

 

[ArtHands]

These are all Sony IPs. And you forgot FARPOINT. Another Sony IP.

This list is based on the one on Sony blog, which only shows 2016 games. Farpoint is a 2017 game

 

[Yoritomo]

I'll buy Rez Infinite on PC for whatever they're asking

 

[GuitarAtomik]

This is good to hear. The only games I'm interested in out of the forever exclusive list are Here They Lie, Rigs, and Bound (and you can play Bound outside VR). I was debating whether or not to get PSVR to supplement my Vive, but it's kind of hard to justify that now.

 

[Eolz]

Rez PC is known since a while? where you get that?

We've known in another Rez Infinite several months ago that this was a timed exclusive, aka implying that it would come to PC.
