It’s a bit of a jump in price when compared to the original PSVR price point of $399 / £349 / AU$549.95, confirming the new device to be very much a high-end gaming product. On top of this, it’s worth noting that aPlayStation5 is required for PSVR 2 with the console now costing $499.99 / £479.99 / AU$799.95. This means that the cost of entry is around a grand, depending on the territory.
“PlayStation VR2 Sense Technology includes key features that enable unique gameplay experiences, such as headset feedback, eye tracking, 3D audio, and the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback from the PS VR2 Sense controllers. Together with compatible games they will captivate players’ senses and offer an incredibly deep feeling of immersion, said SIE vice president of hardware and peripherals Isabelle Tomatis.
“Additionally, with enhanced headset-based controller tracking and high fidelity visuals in 4000 x 2040 HDR video format (2000 x 2040 per eye), PSVR 2 adds a true next-gen gaming experience for players to enjoy.
“We’ve created the PSVR 2 headset with comfort in mind, in a slightly slimmer and lighter design compared to our previous headset. We’ve also included an integrated vent for extra air flow, and a lens adjustment dial for a more customized feel. We hope players will enjoy this new design.”
