It’s been another busy year in the world of PlayStation, and as we approach the end of 2025, it feels like the perfect moment to take a step back and look at where things stand.
So what better person to explore all of this with the brilliant Ryan Biniecki, creator of Let’s Talk PlayStation on the Mystic YouTube channel and one of the most respected voices covering the platform.
We’ll be digging into the state of PlayStation today, the highs and lows of the past year and what the next few years could look like. We’ll also explore how the industry is shifting, how creators adapt to those changes and where PSVR2 might fit into the long-term picture.
Even if you aren't fully invested in the PlayStation roadmap, and are just simply curious about how the industry continues to evolve, hopefully this discussion offers some valuable insight into the world of gaming.

![Boss battles in a brick breaker?! | Let’s Play Rebeloid VR (PSVR2)
Brick breakers aren’t supposed to have boss fights… right? Rebeloid VR takes the classic formula of Arkanoid and DX-Ball, throws it into space, and adds lasers, power-ups, and galaxy-sized chaos.
Time to see if smashing cubes, dodging enemy fire, and taking on intergalactic bosses works as well in VR as it sounds.
// REBELOID VR OVERVIEW
“The Evolution of Brick Breaker Games Embark on a journey into space with Rebeloid! Were reintroducing the classic block-breaking frenzy, reminiscent of timeless games like DX-Ball and Arkanoid, but now in cutting-edge VR technology.” [via PlayStation Store]

![Becoming a VR thief… In the darkest city yet | Let’s Play Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow (PSVR2)
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow brings a series I haven’t touched in decades back into my life. Only this time I get to experience it in the medium I love most. I played the original Thief briefly in my childhood on a friend’s PC (my dad’s couldn’t run it…), so my memories are distant at best.
I’m excited to reconnect with the franchise and see how well the classic Thief feeling translates to PSVR2: the shadows, the rooftops, the pickpocketing, and all the little tactile interactions that make VR stealth so satisfying when it’s done right.
Thanks to Vertigo Games for providing me with the PS VR2 game key for this Let’s Play.
// THIEF VR: LEGACY OF SHADOW OVERVIEW
“The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the powerful and feared by the oppressed. Its rooftops form a labyrinth above the narrow, twisting streets. The City Watch prowls relentlessly, enforcing the iron will of Baron Ulysses Northcrest, a tyrant who crushes rebellion before it can take root.
You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Northcrest’s brutality and shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive. That is, until you uncover something greater: a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past. Use immersive VR mechanics to steal, evade, and outsmart the forces controlling The City. Unravel its darkest secrets and expose a sinister conspiracy that looms over its very foundation.” [via PlayStation Store]

![From the creators of Tetris Effect: Connected! | Let’s Play Lumines Arise (PSVR2)
From the creators of Tetris Effect: Connected, Lumines Arise brings rhythm and puzzle gameplay together in a stunning new way, now on PS VR2.
I was obsessed with Tetris Effect, so I’m really curious to see how this one feels in VR, especially with its music-driven visuals and synesthetic style that Enhance is known for.
Huge thanks to Enhance for providing the PS VR2 game key.
// LUMINES ARISE OVERVIEW
“A mind-blowing, fiendishly addictive reinvention of the puzzle classic Lumines from the creators of Tetris® Effect: Connected, where sound pulses through your body, mind, and every block you place, triggering dazzling visuals synched to the driving beat of an infectious, eclectic soundtrack.
Journey through over 35 stages of synesthetic sensory wonderlands, everything from lush jungles to buzzing Tokyo streets to more surreal experiences, matching blocks and crafting insane combos with the all-new Burst mechanic. Mix it up with a variety of other single-player modes and challenges, or test your mettle against friends or strangers in online multiplayer.
Whether you’re looking to get hyped up or chill out, new to the series or a veteran, have an hour to kill or just five minutes, want to play solo, with friends, or challenge strangers, or play in optional VR or stunning 4K, Lumines Arise is the ultimate puzzle game.” [via PlayStation Store]
