blog.playstation.comWelcome to Frenzies, the wildly chaotic and stylishly slick multiplayer shooter, coming to PS VR2!
I’m thrilled to share some more information about Frenzies following its unveiling. If you missed that, here’s our announcement trailer that gives you a taste of Frenzies’ unique blend of fun and chaos:
