PlayStation VR 2 is on the way, and after originally being announced in 2021, Sony shared more details on its latest piece of gaming hardware at CES 2022. While a number of questions still need to be answered regarding pricing, a release date, or what PSVR 2 will even look like, what has been shown so far points to a major upgrade in comparison to Sony's last venture into the VR space. Ahead of its upcoming release, we've rounded everything that we know about the headset below, including its specs, features, and rumored release date.
This isn't the first time that Sony has offered virtual reality technology, as its first PSVR headset was released all the way back in 2016 for the PS4. On the surface, the original PSVR was a peripheral that provided an entry-level approach to VR, requiring multiple cables as well as a camera and external lights for both head- and controller-tracking.
The successor t leverages more powerful technology in its design, as well as several other quality-of-life upgrades for the PS5-exclusive device that could potentially rival other mainstream VR headsets such as the Oculus Quest 2 and the Valve Index.
