![]() The PlayStation VR 2 is not backwards compatible, which means it has a separate game library to the original headset. Thanks to the four cameras embedded within the PSVR 2 headset, an external camera is no longer needed. The original controllers lacked haptic feedback, with the large orb on the end of the controller being tracked via the PlayStation Camera. The original PSVR came with vastly different controllers that looked more akin to the Nintendo Wii controllers than the new ergonomic orb design. They also feature haptic feedback that can simulate the tension of bowstring once pulled back. With both triggers and grip buttons, you’re able to mimic natural hand movements such as picking up an object or pulling the string of a bow. They feature a rounder look that should allow for constant human contact for haptic feedback, in a similar vein to the Sony DualSense controllers for the PS5 console. One of the biggest upgrades for the PSVR 2 headset is the new controllers. ![]() However, you’ll notice the biggest graphical improvement with games specifically designed for the PSVR 2 such as Horizon Call of the Mountain, since they’re making the most out of the power of the PS5. These upgrades look both sharper and more vibrant. This is a huge upgrade from the original PSVR, which came with an LCD panel and a 960×1080 resolution. The PSVR 2 comes with a 4K HDR OLED in-headset display, with a resolution of 2000×2040. It doesn’t need external cameras either, since they’re baked into the front of the headset’s visor instead. ![]() The PSVR 2 plugs into the PS5 via a single USB-C cable, making the setup process more streamlined. The PSVR can be a pain to set up, as you need multiple wires to plug into the console, as well as the camera. The original PlayStation headset supports play with both a PS4 and PS5, while the PSVR 2 will only be supported by a PS5. That means you can’t use these headsets independently (or wirelessly) like you can with the Meta Quest 2. The PSVR and PSVR 2 have one thing in common: they both need to be connected to a console to function. You can now get it even cheaper second-hand, although you may struggle to find it in many stores right now, since Sony is switching its focus over to the newer headset. Meanwhile, the original PlayStation VR headset was originally available for just $399/£349. That price seems very high, although it’s actually more affordable than headsets with similar specs such as the Meta Quest Pro. The PlayStation VR 2 has a launch price of $549.99/£529.99, which makes it even more expensive than the PS5 console. Seven years later, it launched a succeeding headset: the PlayStation VR 2.īut is it worth upgrading to the new headset, or are you better off sticking with the original? We’ve reviewed both VR headsets, so here are our thoughts. Sony launched the original PlayStation VR headset back in 2016.
