Sony is hoping that the innovative features of the PlayStation VR2 will help differentiate it from both PC headsets and standalone competitors like the Meta Quest 2 and Pico Neo 4. Featuring high-tech inclusions like advanced controller haptics and Tobii eye tracking, which allows players to control some in-game features with their eyes and lets developers ensure that games render at the highest quality exactly where players are looking, the PS VR2 will be the first experience many gamers have with high-quality VR gaming.
