It's got huge potential. Just remember:

PS5 power that's many times more powerful than PSVR used with PS4(1.8). And over twice PS4 Pro(4.2).

SSD support built in for next gen engine development like UE5 and fast load times. With nanite and lumen just recently announced as supporting VR.

Dedicated Tempest Audio for high quality 3D sound with pulse headphones or your own earbuds and headphones.

High resolution lenses, HDR and OLED for deep blacks and crisp pixel graphics and bright colors.

Eye Tracking, and foveated rendering for high quality graphics where your eyes are looking, for UI control, for object getting, NPCs looking directly at you, etc.

Haptics for nuanced vibration of actions on screen to your hands and to your headset.

Triggers, touch, inside out tracking, analog sticks, light weight, one wire, etc

1st, 2nd and 3rd party franchises and support for potentially, many high quality games over its lifetime.

No matter what naysayers try and tell you, that PS VR 2 is just another Vita or won't get any AAA games. The total package is staring VR gamers right in the face. Believe the previews and your eyes. Not their negative narrative words.

I didn't realize it had eye tracking for things like selecting weapons from a wheel. That's pretty darn cool. I'm excited. I've been using my Index but I'm ready for the next step here. I hope tons of PC VR games make the switch over here too. Lots of potential.

And I hope PC gets some of these high quality games. As both grow, it only helps the high end VR market grow. Developers making cross platform games for both means less risk for them. Seeing the next level of VR should be celebrated as something that increases immersion and brings us closer in connection to the games we play.

Better graphics, AI, physics, lighting, objects on screen, explosions, characters populating the map. Why anyone downplays that is anyone's guess.

I wonder if it will work with PS6 also as it has really nice specs and lenses and such and just get more power from the console .

PS5 will be plenty for now just thinking about the future . I wouldn’t be surprised if if it will work with the next console gen because you don’t need a camera like PSVR1 version and they will probably go with a similar solution next headset also . .

Keep in mind PSVR does work on PS5. That gives support to the hope that PSVR2 will work on PS6. It should be able to do so without needing an adapter, unlike PSVR on PS5.

I thought about it and have mentioned it. If PS6 is BC, the eye tracking and foveated rendering would give PS VR 2 more potential. Or course, Sony would release a new headset as well. But PS VR 2 wouldn't lose out being compatible. Not unless there's features on the new one that can't be duplicated on PS VR 2.

Eye tracking made it near future proof. I think Mark Cerny and other tech advisors must have had this discussion just like they discussed BC of PS4. The audio, the haptics, the SSD being switchable. Must have been serious planning. Including VR.

Remember when gamers only thought PS5 would only play 100 top PS4 games? Still gives me a laugh.

Well said, Apocalypse! PSVR 2 has so much potential and really is the total package for VR, and based on HZ Call of The Mountain (along with I assume some other new VR games not announced yet from Sony’s other first party studios, as well as 2nd and 3rd party, as you mentioned) I mean, VR just might be delivering a plethora of games that’ll show off not just the real capabilities of what breathtaking visuals PSVR 2 will offer to players, but really, equally as much, just how solid/smooth VR2’s gameplay mechanics brought into their games will offer gamers something special and of a high quality.

Why invest in a PS5? Well, because of the GAMES! The quantity and quality of them from Sony’s studios cannot be beat, unmatched pedigree. While it’ll take time, PSVR 2 can offer players that same experience in VR and how thrilling i think I’ll be. Previews have been great and exciting

Can’t wait.

Agreed. We can already see the support right off. And the headset isn't even out on the market yet.

Sony with Horizon as First Party. And we know GT 7 is pretty much a given from Polyphony. First Contact almost in a Second Party roll with Firewall Ultra. Just waiting for Impulse Gear, the makers of Farpoint, to announce as they are like Second Party too and helped make the Aim Controller. Then, we got Third Parties like Capcom already there with RE8 and whatever support RE4 has. Then, we got Indie developers like Hello Games with, what should be, the Definitive version of No Man's Sky.

If that's not enough to see that Sony is not playing this time, not experimenting like before with lights and Move Controllers, I don't know what to say to the naysayers when we can clearly see that everything is improved over PSVR.

Do people not realize all this is happening right now with steam vr? Why is everyone acting like Sony vr just broke barriers? Smh.

I didn't know that Steam Vr had Haptics built into it? Or that is is optimized for PS5?! Stop going offtopic in a PS-related article. Noone cares about your PC VR anyway.

First off Steam VR is a delivery method, not sure why we are acting like that is actual hardware. The Valve Index is the actual hardware. And you do realize that PC hardware far surpasses the PS5, right? High end GPUs can push well beyond what the PS5 is capable of in terms of performance.

The knuckle controllers were the first to offer any sort of haptic feedback. The grips offer the ability to grab and squeeze while delivering feedback to the user. It's pretty cool actually and definitely brought things up to the next level from the controllers that Oculus/Meta and HTC were offering.

PC VR has been offering things that the PSVR could only dream of. I'm glad that the new hardware is going to deliver a PC like experience while offering even more innovations. It'll only push future headsets from Meta and Valve to improve even further upon. 4K displays are sorely lacking on the PC side, so this is a god send and will get us that much closer to fully immersive experiences.

I get this is a Sony article, but let's not spread misinformation here to sell some agenda Zeke.

Here's the difference...

PC VR has some great headsets on it. You can even buy eye tracking, haptics, motion trackers, etc for it. I even suspect, because of Sony, future PC headsets will have things built in like PS VR 2. That's just a given with PC always moving forward. But..

What Sony has over Valve, over ByteDance and over Facebook, is first party and support from other parties. Sure. Valve can make a great game. But it takes them years to make **one** game. Steam gets early access games. But it's like playing a bunch of demos. No curation. VR needs to get out of the tech demo phase. Valve doesn't have third parties making big VR games on Steam.

ByteDance has TikTok. And a bunch of followers. But what first party do they have? What connections do they have with game developers that allow them to compete and stay consistent in releasing games? No history.

Facebook has money. Has, and it can't be denied, awesome tech in the Quest platform. But what first party does Facebook have? Where's the big games if the headset supposedly has sold 15 million? There's nothing.

Now, compare those companies with Sony. Sony makes movies, music, games. Sony has almost an unrivaled first party. Connections with developers that go back decades. A list of franchises that dwarf those other companies. Connections with retail that Valve and ByteDance don't have. Facebook can and are at retail. But then, there's the big games that are just not coming fast enough. Just indie games.

The clear difference is Sony and the games they bring. It's the most obvious thing that stands out.

@Apocalypseshadow. Very nice response. I guess I understand better the hype for psvr. I was seriously confused but now I get it. Thanks.
