What Is PlayStation VR2?
PlayStation VR2 is a virtual reality system for PlayStation 5, which is said to be the upgraded version of the PlayStation VR system. In the official announcement, the brand new controller, PlayStation VR2 Sense, is also revealed with the PlayStation VR2 headset, and it is said to enhance the gameplay with the PSVR2 headset. The upcoming PSVR2 system seems to solve the problems in the PSVR system, as well as will add up to its features even more!
What Features Will Be Included In PS VR2?
According to the announcements, one of the most important features of PS VR2 will be tracking. The multiple-camera system in PSVR2 will allow for better tracking, as it will always be in sight of at least one camera.
Another feature that is improved in this latest version, PS VR2, is the display resolution. The PSVR uses a 1080p panel that’s split into two 960x1080 displays which work together to create an image. While this isn’t bad, the PS VR2 system will include 4K displays and it will improve the quality of the graphics drastically.
Also in some of the headsets, the refresh rate can be limited to 60Hz which means that some scenes may feel choppy or laggy. And with PS VR2, a higher refresh rate, 90 and 120Hz, is implemented for a smoother experience.
In the latest blog post of Sony, the first visuals of the design of both the PlayStation VR2 headset and the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers are shared with the public, and to be fair, they seem amazing! In the post, it is stated that in accordance with lots of positive feedback to the design of the PS VR headset, some of the basic features are kept the same or similar to the older version. However, some other features are added to enhance and improve the VR gaming experience, such as reducing the size and the weight of the headset, adding a lens adjustment dial, and an additional vent design.
Even though an exact date about its release hasn't been officially announced yet, there are some rumors about it. According to some, the system is expected to be released in Q2, 2022; however until an official announcement has been made, it is obvious that we will never know certainly!
