Read details on PSVR2 via the official website below:
The next generation of virtual reality gaming
Experience new sensations with stunning 4K HDR visuals1, ground-breaking new controllers and genre-defining games, all made possible by the power of PS5™.
Explore new realities with the PlayStation®VR2 headset
Thrilling new worlds come to life with incredible visual clarity and in uniquely immersive and emotional ways with PlayStation VR2 Sense™ Technology.
4K HDR display
Experience breath-taking virtual reality environments in clear focus with 4K High Dynamic Range visuals and up to 120fps1, as two 2000 x 2040 OLED displays deliver over four times the resolution generated by the original PlayStation®VR headset.
Enhanced comfort
Enjoy comfortable play sessions through a 110º field of view, a light, well-balanced Fresnel lens and a lens adjustment dial that lets you customize the focus to your own personal preference.
Eye tracking
Interact in new and lifelike ways, as the PS VR2 headset detects the motion of your eyes1, allowing for heightened emotional response and enhanced expression when meeting fellow players online.
Eye tracking cameras follow your line of sight when aiming or looking around, while advanced foveated rendering techniques improve the visual experience by adjusting resolutions to pinpoint and enhance whatever you’re focusing on.
Inside-out tracking
Play with freedom as PlayStation VR2 tracks you and your controllers through four cameras embedded in the headset. Your movements and the direction you look are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.
Headset feedback
Feel subtle, responsive headset vibrations at key moments during gameplay1. Created by a single built-in motor, these vibrations add an intelligent tactile element to the sensory immersion experienced as you play.
Detect your character’s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to your head, or the thrust of your vehicle as you speed forward.
Tempest 3D AudioTech
Surround yourself with incredibly realistic soundscapes1, as in-game audio dynamically adapts to your position and head movements1.
Sense a character’s presence as they whisper in your ear, locate friends and enemies by their gunfire or footfall, and experience the creeping dread of a threat approaching from any direction.
Single-cable connection
Jump straight into new virtual worlds with a simple one-cable connection to the PlayStation 5 console’s front USB port. PlayStation VR2 is quick and easy to set up – just plug in and play.
Introducing the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller
Interact with virtual worlds in amazing new ways with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, precision tracking and finger touch detection1 – all integrated into a unique ergonomic design.
Orb design
Take hold of the intuitive new PS VR2 Sense controller and experience freedom of movement and a realistic, natural gaming experience through a well-balanced and ergonomic design, leaving you to focus on comfortably exploring the game world you’re in.
Analog sticks and buttons
Take additional control of your in-game actions and gear with traditional analog sticks and action buttons split across two controllers, along with an Options button and a Create button. As well as the adaptive triggers, both controllers also feature a ‘grip’ button to grab in-game objects1.
Finger touch detection
Interact with in-game items and environments naturally, even when you’re not actively pressing a button as finger touch detection1 allows the PS VR2 Sense controller to replicate natural motions and gestures, letting you reach out and touch the virtual world.
Haptic feedback
Feel realistic, detailed responses to your in-game actions1. From subtle, precise vibrations to intense pulses, a vast range of sensations in the game world can be delivered to your hands.
Sense how it feels to fire or strike with different weapons, craft tools, touch varied environmental textures and travel across undulating terrain.
Adaptive triggers
Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments1. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring, to crushing objects with your hands or feeling a weapon jam in the heat of combat, adaptive triggers physically connect you to your on-screen actions for a deep sense of immersion.

"The PS VR2 headset detects the motion of your eyes, allowing for heightened emotional response and enhanced expression when meeting fellow players online." Interesting. I wonder if Sony has plans for their own VR social hub, kinda like a PS Home VR or something. Would be really cool if they could track your facial expressions and mouth movements too but I don't see any mention of that.
I guess to early for that tech, even more as your mouth and most of the face seems to be outside the coverage of the googles.
You've been able to mocap your face for online games via webcam or smartphone for years now, though the goggles do complicate things. It already has inside out tracking and shouldn't be too difficult to add an extra camera pointed at your mouth if needed. That said I'm sure Sony has higher priorities for the headset and budgets to keep.
A camera that see your full face sure could capture, and well perhaps Sony could reconstruct with the eye tracking camera plus couple external, but Im not sure they can yet.
This makes me think it's coming sooner, rather than later. Maybe a launch this holiday, If the supply chain will allow.
I would say could even release mid year.
I doubt it. Almost everything launches in the fall these days.
You may very well be right. We shall know shortly. With many details being released I think they are waiting for some more games being on more developed stage to make a SoP and announce the date as well.
This got me excited :) As I had already 3 different headsets for my PC, I did not get the first one but I'm def. looking forward for this one and will pre-order that baby as soon as it is available.
Very cool, hope the eye tracking and control tracking is very precise. I`m excited for it.
Yeah, that's the whole deal right there. The tracking has to be spot on, otherwise it'll suck. If they get it right, it'll be spectacular. My guess is they're not going to release something that sucks, so my money is on it being spectacular.
Yep, launching it in a poor state would be completely against their interest in pushing the envelope and growing the market and well making good profit.
Curious to know if PS VR2 will be compatible with PC or if its only a PS5 accessory. PS5s are hard to find, PS VR2 will be ever harder.
Official support I don`t think so. But my PSVR works on PC with some tweaking.
i hope Sony is smart and make PSVR2 work on PC from the box.
It will definitely help expand the audience of the device. Considering the manufacturing issues they are having with the PS5/XSX
That'd be very dumb of them. They sell the headset to sell games on the playstation store. The headset is almost certainly going to be sold at a big loss.
You mean like every other headset in existence?
I'm glad PlayStation website is finally getting a version 2 refresh. Kind of ridiculous it took this long after decades of being a gaming company, but good news regardless!
I'm so used to version 1 that I dread version 2 a bit. We will have instant nostalgia with the way back machine. I hope they get the design right - modern websites often feel too sterile.
Exactly! I hope they hire UX designers and don't just rely on programmers and marketing!
