Right now we don’t know how much the PSVR 2 will cost but we can look at other VR headsets to get an idea of what we could expect to pay for the new hardware.įirstly we have the current PlayStation VR starter bundle that retails for $200 / £259 / AU$420. This would give Sony more time to expand the potential PSVR 2 player base (as the new headset will be exclusive to Sony’s latest console) and would help get the console in more people’s hands. However, given that Sony is already struggling to output enough PS5s to meet demand, we might even see the PSVR 2 launch later than 2022 to keep production pipelines focused on the console. This backs up rumors detailed in a recent report from Bloomberg. We don’t know exactly when the VR headset will launch and there's been no official date from Sony at the time of writing.

How much will it cost? TBC - probably around the PSVR's $499 launch price.

When is it out? Potentially 2022 or later.

What is is? The next version of PlayStation VR.

The PSVR 2 controllers feature baton-like handles with a plastic orb around them and will make use of the same adaptive trigger features found in the DualSense PS5 as well as haptic feedback and finger touch detection.

So far these accessories are what we know most about as Sony has already shown off how we’ll be interfacing with its headset. Last but not least we have the PSVR 2 controllers. At least it’s rumored to only be one cable with the PSVR 2. While this would let Sony put the power of your PS5 to good use to make better VR games, tethered experiences aren’t always the most convenient. Unfortunately, we’ve heard that the PSVR 2 might not be wireless like the Oculus Quest 2. In addition, rumors suggest that lens adjustment will be controlled by a dial (rather than the fixed settings in the Quest 2), gaze tracking and a motor within the headset itself that might be used for haptic feedback. But what's interesting is that as well as improving the display, the new HMD also includes low-latency compensation, which means it should stop users from feeling motion sick, which is a common complaint about VR gaming. There's been no confirmation this is planned to be added to the PSVR 2.

This display would supposedly give the PSVR 2 an 110 degree of field of view, and using a process called foveated rendering (a technique that uses gaze tracking to only render certain parts of the image) the PSVR2 could more efficiently use its and the PS5’s processing power.Īt the ‘Sony Technology Day’, the company revealed it's been working on a new head-mounted display (HMD) that uses OLED microdisplay technology to deliver even more realistic visuals. Rumors have indicated that the PSVR 2’s OLED display will boast a total resolution of 4000 X 2040 pixels (that’s 2000 X 2040 per eye and just slightly more than the Oculus Quest 2).
