This page will walk you through the steps to get set up to play games with VirZOOM using your PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR headset. To do this, install our free collection of exercise games, VirZOOM Arcade, and, optionally, register your VirZOOM device and a VirZOOM account. If you haven't already set up your VZ Bike Controller or VZ Sensor, should go do that step first before you return here.

Set up PlayStation VR for the first time

If you haven't already set up PlayStation VR on your PlayStation 4 before, follow Sony's setup instructions online. If you want to save your progress in VirZOOM Arcade and/or play online with other players, you will also need to set up a PSN account if you have not yet done so.

Install VirZOOM Arcade

You can download our free collection of games, VirZOOM Arcade, from the PlayStation Store on the web or on from the "Store" icon on the dashboard on your PS4 console. Once that's installed, you can play all VirZOOM Arcade games, but without registering your device, you'll only be able to play offline. Read on for instructions on how to get set up to play online.

Create an account & register your device

To play VirZOOM Arcade games online, you need to register your VirZOOM device and create a VirZOOM account. Here's how to set that up:

  1. Plug in the USB Bluetooth dongle that came with your VirZOOM equipment.

  2. Launch VirZOOM Arcade from your PlayStation dashboard.

  3. When you see a screen prompting you to connect a bike... 
    1. If you're on VZ Bike, switch it on and start pedaling.
    2. If you're using a DS4 controller, press the button indicated on your screen to use a controller instead of a bike.

  4. Make note of the code on the bottom of your screen and/or in your headset.

  5. Go to virzoom.com/register and enter your authorization code.

  6. Follow the instructions to create a VirZOOM account.

When you return to VirZOOM Arcade, you'll find that it has automatically moved past the intro screen and you can now play games. Follow the instructions on screen to get started! And just a heads up: The games don't all unlock at once the first time you play—there's a series of tutorials to play to help you get acclimated to moving around in VR, but you only ever need to complete those once, and then you can play any games you want, as much as you want.
