Sony’s next-generation PlayStation VR 2 headset is truly impressive. That makes it a real shame to limit it to the PlayStation 5 alone. We think Sony has much to gain by opening the PSVR 2 to PC users, too.
The PlayStation VR 2 is the successor to the PlayStation VR headset released for use with the Sony PlayStation 4. The PSVR re-used the PlayStation 4 camera and the Move controllers from the PlayStation 3 along with a special processing unit to make high-end VR possible on Sony’s $399 console.
At the time, a PlayStation 4 with a PSVR headset represented the most affordable way to experience high-end VR compared to the cost of a PC VR setup. However, the original headset was somewhat cumbersome and not as refined as contemporary PC VR headsets at the time. While it was smart of Sony to re-use hardware the company already had, it did result in a somewhat cobbled-together product.
With the PlayStation VR 2, things are very different. It’s a headset that’s been designed with the benefit of hindsight and a clear idea of VR’s future.
According to the official specifications released by Sony, the PlayStation VR 2 uses a single USB-C connection, inside-out tracking, foveated rendering, and a 110-degree field of view. It also comes with the same next-generation haptic feedback found in the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controllers. While we don’t know the price of the headset at the time of writing, it’s far likelier to fall somewhere between the $299 Quest 2 and the $599 (often $399) HP Reverb G2 than the $999 Valve Index.
The Oculus Quest 2 does it all, no matter what kind of VR you're looking to experience, at a price that's surprising in the best way.
