With just over a month until launch, Sony released a list of over 30 titles that will be coming to thePlayStation VR2headset during the launch window. The list included titles from both first-party and third-party developers, as well as upgrades to existingPlayStation VRtitles.
With features such as an OLED display set at 2000x2040 resolution per eye, a panel refresh rate of 90hz to 120hz, and the new PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, the PlayStation VR2 looks to improve upon the success of the first PlayStation VR headset, which was released in 2016. The PlayStation VR2 will require a PS5 console to connect to, much like its predecessor needed a PS4. However, for users that already have a PS5, setup is as simple as connecting the headset to the USB-C port on the front of the PS5. A PlayStation VR2 Sense controller charging dock will also be available for purchase when the headset launches, which can provide players with another means to charge their controllers without taking up a USB port on the PS5 console. Even though headsets and controllers carry a steep price tag, the PlayStation VR2 is a great way that playerscan get started with VR gaming in 2023.
