PlayStation VR2 Video Highlights Headset's New Features and Biggest Games
Sony's released a new promotional video for the PlayStation VR2 focusing on some of the virtual reality headset's main features. The next-gen headset remains tentatively planned for release in early 2023 and is an accessory exclusive to the PS5. Advertising a virtual reality headset can be difficult, however, since players can't experience VR themselves until it's available. It's doubly hard when the PS VR 2 is a generational step forward from the original PS VR headset. Sony's going to do what it can, though.
A big part of the trailer for the PlayStation VR2 headset is focusing on games that are planned to be released for the device. These games include Horizon: Call of the Mountain, Firewall Ultra, No Man's Sky, Resident Evil Village, and The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners — Chapter 2: Retribution. This also helps keep focus on upcoming VR games, since the PS VR2 headset is not backward compatible with PS VR titles.
Sony Confirms PlayStation VR2 Will Release in Early 2023
The features shown in the new PlayStation VR2 video start with the VR headset's improved resolution. Dubbed «4K HDR Display,» the headset actually features two 2,000x2,040 displays — one for each eye. 4K or not, that's still over four times the resolution of the original headset. The next main feature is eye tracking, at least in games that support it. The example shown is using eye tracking for menus in Firewall Ultra to choose a weapon from the player's inventory. Foveated rendering will also use eye tracking to ensure resolution peaks where the player is looking. The last headset feature shown is 110-degree field of view, 10 degrees more than the original PS VR headset.
Other features shown in the trailer focus on the PlayStation VR2's controllers.
