From the headset to the Sense controllers, everything about the PSVR 2 is a giant step forward.įor gamers, new hardware is only as good as the software available at launch. The design is in line with newer VR inputs like those of the Meta Quest 2 and Vive Focus, though there are some differences - like the inclusion of haptic trigger buttons. As an added touch, the PSVR 2 headset also features haptic feedback.Ī total improvement over the previous gen’s Move controllers, the PSVR 2’s Sense controllers are the VR equivalent to the PS5’s DualSense gamepad. It’s also easier to see content, as the headset’s lenses offer a 2000 x 2040 resolution per eye (a big leap from the original’s 960 x 1080), giving a total resolution of 4K, with refresh rates hitting between 90Hz and 120Hz to keep everything smooth. This process feels very futuristic and is fairly intuitive. Next is calibrating the eye tracking, which is another high-tech feature of the headset. While most VR headsets allow users to draw virtual boundary walls to avoid knocking into household objects, the PSVR 2 has users scan the room to see potential obstacles. After that, setting up the device on the software is fairly simple. When it’s time to turn the PSVR 2 on, the power button and function button are located on the bottom of the headset.
The cushions feel a bit more premium compared to the original PSVR. This time around, users can even change the focal distance from a dial on the faceplate too. Users can push and pull the PSVR 2 faceplate toward or away from their face through a button on top of the faceplate, and tighten it using a dial on the band’s rear. Some of the holdovers from the original headset include the circular halo band. Once it’s on your head, the PSVR 2’s weight distribution feels a bit more even as well. It also shed some weight, coming in at a noticeably lighter 560 grams compared to the PSVR’s 600 grams. The PSVR 2 really looks cool sitting alongside the PS5. Like other PS5 accessories, the design philosophy takes inspiration from the console itself - meaning it sports a sleek white-and-black aesthetic featuring some abstract angles. Having four cameras on the headset also removes the need for an external camera. Users literally have to just plug the earbuds into the PSVR 2’s audio port and the headset itself into the PS5’s USB-C port. Simplicity is the name of the game with the PSVR 2.
That’s pretty much it - no processor box, PlayStation camera, power plug or extra HDMI configuration needed. Alongside the headset and controllers, you’ll find a single USB-C charge cable alongside instructional booklets and wired earbuds in the box. A bit more streamlined than the original, the packaging also serves as a case for both the headset and Sense controllers. The PSVR 2 improves on every aspect of the original PSVR, and it all begins with the box.
