Resident Evil 7 singlehandedly contributed a large amount of total PlayStation VR use among players.
In an interview with Engadget, a Sony representative revealed Capcom's latest horror game turned out be quite the success in PSVR. Before Resident Evil 7 launched in January 2017, the average play time session in PSVR was around 25 minutes. Resident Evil 7 increased that average time to nearly an hour.
Prior to RE7, most time spent in VR, according to Sony, came from bit-sized play experiences. Part of RE7's success, Sony believes, comes from its genre.
"Different users enjoy different experiences, and it's hard to pinpoint a particular app or experience that is most popular, but we've found that certain genres work very well with VR, and horror is one example," the Sony spokesperson said. "When Resident Evil 7: Biohazard launched earlier this year, the average amount of time PSVR users spent playing doubled."
