Sony's PlayStation VR headset won't launch until later this year, but you don't have to wait to try one out.

Sony will offer demos of the virtual-reality headset at more than 30 Best Buy and GameStop locations nationwide, the company said Friday. That number will expand to about 300 locations across the US and Canada on June 24.

The company is showing off five games and plans to add more demos leading up to the launch this fall. The initial demos include PlayStation VR Worlds, EVE: Valkyrie, Headmaster, Battlezone and SuperHyperCube.
