The incomingPSVR 2gaming headset forPS5, as we’vewritten about recentlyhere at T3.com, is looking better and better with every passing week.
We’ve had somereallyjuicy details drop about thePlayStationVR 2’s specs, as well as some encouraging news about launch stock,with 1.5 million headsetsreportedly to be available to gamers.
That upgrade? Afullydetachable cable. The news comes courtesy of the PSVR 2 Without Parole Youtube channel, whichstatesin a recent video that:
“The PSVR 2 wire will be detachable. That may not seem like a huge deal but for anyone whose cat chewed on their PSVR 1 cable, or had poor cable management resulting in a broken connection, this is really good news.”
We’re absolutely inclined to agree here at T3.com, too, thisisa key hardware upgrade. It may not seem so but it really is. As we noted in our originalPSVR review, cable management and issuesplaguedthe originalSonyVR system, making it unwieldly to use unless you had, literally, the most open, optimal environment to use it in.
Any damage to the cable also led to a bricked VR headset as the cable was fixed and, in most cases, a costly repair. So the fact that the PSVR 2 headset willnot onlyhave just one cable (instead of the multiple cables needed for PSVR) but also that cable will befullydetachable at both ends, is great news.

What isn’t so good news is the fact that, according to the report, the PSVR 2 cable will be proprietary, meaning that you’ll have to buy replacements through Sony itself. Hopefully we will see third-party cables licensed, as that could be a small but cool way to customise your VR headset.
But, still, even one proprietary detachable USB-C cable is far superior to the rats nest of chunky cables needed on the original PSVR. This is a hardware upgrade we’re sure every PS5 gamer can get behind.
We’re hyped to hear more about PSVR 2 and especially a release date, as we’ve already lined up thePSVR 2 gameswe’re going to buy one to play.
