After offering a first look earlier this year, Sony has now officially announced an “early 2023” release window for its PlayStation VR2 headset. The second iteration of PlayStation‘s flagship virtual reality headset promises to be a significant upgrade, offering up to 4K resolution, a 120 HZ refresh rate, 110-degree field of view, and over 20 VR games at launch including No Man’s Sky and Resident Evil Village.
Additional features include foveated rendering, integrating an eye tracker that reduces the rendering workload by reducing image quality in the peripherals, and on-device cameras which provide motion-tracking and view of surroundings. In July, PlayStation further announced native broadcasting and live streaming capabilities as well as a cinematic mode offering HDR support at 1080p. Putting an emphasis on ergonomics, new orb-shaped controllers offer haptic feedback and finger-touch detection, and the universal headsets are connected via a single USB-C wire.
Stay tuned for more details regarding exact release dates and pricing.
