Sony on PSVR: We Want to Make Advances in Unique and Immersive Interactive Experiences - News

Tweet

Sony Interactive Entertainment released its own virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 4, called PlayStation VR, in October 2016. It has been a decent success with over five million headsets sold. 

Sony will keep investing in virtual reality, according to its recent corporate report. The company wants to make advanced with unique and immersive interactive experiences. 

"Greater emphasis will be placed on user engagement," said Sony in the report. "SIE plans to provide content for a variety of game genres and formats, and make advances in unique and immersive interactive experiences such as VR."

It is very possible a new PlayStation VR is in development with improved technology, however, Sony in 2019 said they don't plan to launch a new VR headset alongside the PlayStation 5.

For PSVR2 - minimize the hardware and cables, also shrink the headset. Remember the first cell phones? They were called bag phones because they fit in a purse sized bag and the handset was connected to it by a cord. That's where VR is right now. First gen of any new tech is fugly. VR can only get smaller and lighter from here.
