Last month, Sony released the first ever State of Play; a 20-minute video that showcased some upcoming games in the same vein as a Nintendo Direct. While many gamers were disappointed the video didn't contain a huge reveal or some release dates for Sony's biggest games, it was a great showcase and a way to set expectations for future State of Plays.

Many of the announcements in the video were games coming to PlayStation VR, from Blood & Truth to Marvel's Iron Man VR, No Man's Sky VR to Five Nights At Freddy's. One such game was the highly anticipated Vacation Simulator from Owlchemy Labs, releasing this summer.

One of the standout VR games on PS4 to date has been Job Simulator; a game in which you work various run-of-the-mill jobs and cause chaos by interacting with anything in your vicinity. It sounds rather dull but it's an absolute blast and a wonderful game to show friends. As such, VR owners have been excited for the holiday-themed follow-up.

Owlchemy Labs has proven that it fundamentally understands what makes VR great, and Sony would do wise to snap-up a talented developer. It would be a major statement of intent in a field that it is investing heavily in moving forward.
