Developer Tensori has announced that the surreal exploration game POOLS will arrive on PlayStation 5 and PS VR2 on November 25, 2025. For those eager to test the waters of this eerie liminal space title, a free demo is now available to play on the PlayStation Store.
Currently, the demo is a 2D, flatscreen experience. However, a PS VR2 update is coming in the near future.
PlayStation 5 players will be able to play the original POOLS game and the Chapter 0 expansion, both in flatscreen and on the PS VR2. The PS VR2 mode will also be available for free.
Key Details:
- POOLS launches November 25, 2025 on PS5 and PS VR2
- A free demo is now available on the PlayStation Store
- The PS5 POOLS version features the base game, the Chapter 0 expansion, and the PS VR2 mode
Developed by Tensori, a team of four in Finland, POOLS became an unexpected phenomenon after its debut. The game invites players into a world of vast, deserted public swimming spaces and submerged corridors, blending haunting liminal architecture with the soothing and at times unsettling presence of emptiness. Is someone watching you? Are they there with you? Is this perhaps just a dream? You’re never quite sure.
