Sony has teased a string of new games for its PSVR virtual reality headset hardware ahead of the E3 video games show in Los Angeles.
VR content for role-playing adventure Skyrim was shown, as was a new first-person horror title, The Inpatient.
A virtual reality fishing simulator for Final Fantasy - Monster of the Deep - was also debuted.
It contrasts sharply with rival Microsoft`s announcements at E3 this year, which barely mentioned VR.
Last week, Sony revealed that it has sold one million PSVR headsets to date, meaning there is already a sizeable market for new VR titles.
The company also used its E3 show to highlight a string of new blockbuster titles that will be coming to the PS4.
Among these were a remake of Shadow of the Colossus, expected in 2018, and Monster Hunter World, due early the same year.
And there was more footage of God of War - a highly anticipated action game, first teased at Sony`s E3 event in 2016.
Before the firm`s main briefing got under way, it announced a new feature for PlayStation owners - PlayLink, which lets friends join gaming experiences via their smartphones.
"PlayLink is there to promote local, social play using smartphones as second screen," said IHS Technology analyst Piers Harding-Rolls on Twitter.
However, he added, "Second screen gaming has never been very popular."
