All the ways that PlayStation VR2 is better than the original

PlayStation is set to unleash a new reality — a new virtual reality that is. The newest virtual reality unit from PlayStation is the next model of PlayStation VR, the PlayStation VR2. It is set to release on Feb. 22, 2023, with more than 30 titles in its launch lineup, ranging from new games to ports to PlayStation 5 titles that have been updated to support the new technology.

You might have never played PlayStation VR or any type of VR before and are wondering what the features of this new unit are. Or, you might be someone who purchased the original PS VR and are wondering whether the second iteration of the unit has improved enough to make it an immediate purchase. So let’s take a look at every way PlayStation VR2 has improved upon the original system. 

First of all, it needs to be mentioned that setting up PlayStation VR2 is much easier compared to the previous unit. Anybody who played the original knows how bothersome the setup was with the PlayStation 4, connecting your unit to a box. The box was connected to your television, your unit, and the PS4 with a few different cords. PS VR2 is not cordless, but it only requires one cord that plugs into the PlayStation 5. 

Therefore, you won’t be playing a game on PS5 and fumbling for cords for 15 minutes to set it up. Simply plug in and get started. You also needed to set up the HD camera with the original unit and that is gone too, as PlayStation VR2 is equipped with four cameras on the headset. VR enthusiasts know that time to set up can be a huge barrier to entry in wanting to play a game to begin with, and even though it has one cord, this is a great improvement and an excellent step in the right direction. Someday, we’ll no doubt be cordless.
