Some major questions we have are still up in the air, but there is plenty to get excited about. Here's everything we know about the PlayStationVR2 so far.
Sony was the first of the console manufacturers to really give virtual reality a shot when it made the first PlayStation VR unit for the PlayStation 4. While impressive for the price, there were a lot of drawbacks: Players didn’t like having to use controllers from the PS3 generation, the camera tracking wasn’t great, and the resolution left much to be desired. Despite all of that, PS VR ended up being one of the bestselling headsets on the market.
Launch lineup Sony has stated that the PlayStation VR2 will ship with over 20 games at launch. We’ve seen a handful of VR titles teased by Sony, but there’s no definite list of which ones will be available on day one. At the same time, simply saying “over 20” games could mean it includes the entire PS VR library, but our guess is that developers will need to go in and update their games to work on the PSVR2. The biggest games from that system will likely get ported, potentially at launch, but it doesn’t look good for native backward compatibility.
PS VR2 will have two OLED eye displays that each display at a 2000 x 2040 resolution, combined equaling 4000 x 2040 at a 110-degree field of view, which is higher than the Meta Quest 2. It will also be able to handle foveated rendering and frame rates of 90Hz or 120Hz. What that all means is this headset can do 4K HDR and potentially hit up to 120 frames per second. This will all vary from game to game, however.
We also learned that PS VR2 will have a see-through view option that allows users to activate the exterior cameras to see their real surroundings without having to remove the headset. Much like other modern VR units, you will also be able to create your own play boundaries with the controllers and be warned if you’re approaching them to help keep you safe.
