  • May 6’s surprise launch sent I Am Cat to the No. 1 PlayStation VR2 download spot in both North America and Europe during May.
  • The sandbox adventure arrived on Sony’s headset with momentum from other VR platforms, where it already built a strong following.
  • Meta’s Horizon Store shows a 4.9-star rating from more than 77,000 user reviews, underscoring the demand that likely carried into PS VR2.
  • May’s broader PS VR2 chart still featured established sellers including Moss, Moss II, Job Simulator, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge and Beat Saber.
