Featuring high fidelity visuals, new sensory features and enhanced tracking, PlayStation VR2 takes virtual reality gaming to a whole new level, enabling players to feel a heightened range of sensations unlike any other. The PlayStation VR2 headset and included PlayStation VR2 Sense<strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">\u2122<\/strong>controller is available at the recommended retail price* of $549.99 \/ \u20ac599.99 \/ \u00a3529.99 \/ \u00a574,980<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">\u201cProviding extraordinary experiences to gamers is what we strive for at PlayStation, and today we are thrilled to start this new chapter in virtual reality gaming with PlayStation VR2,\u201d said Jim Ryan, President and CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment. \u201cPlayStation VR2\u2019s innovative technology has helped unlock the creativity of the industry\u2019s finest developers, who have designed outstanding games that deliver a greater sense of presence for players. I can\u2019t wait for fans around the world to experience PlayStation VR2 for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">Building upon key innovations from PlayStation<strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">\u00ae<\/strong>5 (PS5\u2122), PlayStation VR2 ushers in a new generation of virtual reality experiences that will captivate players\u2019 senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\"><strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">New Sensory Features with PlayStation\u00aeVR2 Sense\u2122 Technology:<\/strong> The combination of PlayStation VR2 Sensecontroller, PlayStation VR2 headset feedback, 3D Audio, and eye tracking brings emotion and immersion to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>PlayStation VR2 Sense controller<\/strong> with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that enable players to feel and interact with games in a much more visceral way &#8211; whether it\u2019s adding tension to the pull of a bow string or vibration effects during an epic boss battle. With finger touch detection, the PS VR2 Sense controller can also detect the approximate location of your fingers, enabling you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay.<\/li><li><strong>Headset feedback<\/strong> is a new sensory feature that amplifies the sensations of in-game actions from the player. It\u2019s created by a single built-in motor with vibrations that add an intelligent tactile element, bringing players closer to the gameplay experience. For example, gamers can feel a character\u2019s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to the character\u2019s head, or the thrust of a vehicle as the character speeds forward.<\/li><li><strong>3D Audio <\/strong>leverages PS5\u2019s Tempest 3D AudioTech to make sounds in the PS VR2 player\u2019s surroundings come alive, adding to this new level of immersion.<\/li><li><strong>Eye Tracking<\/strong> detects the motion of the player\u2019s eyes, so a simple look in a specific direction can create an additional input for the game character. This allows players to interact more intuitively in new and lifelike ways.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\"><strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">Visual Fidelity<\/strong>: For a high-fidelity visual experience, PlayStation VR2 offers an OLED display with 4K HDR video format (2000 x 2040 per eye), smooth frame rates of 90Hz\/120Hz, 110-degree field of view, and foveated rendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\"><strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">Headset-based Controller Tracking<\/strong>: With inside-out tracking, PlayStation VR2 tracks the player and the controller through integrated cameras embedded in the VR headset. The player\u2019s movements and the direction they look at are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\"><strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">Designed for Comfort<\/strong>: The PlayStation VR2 headset was designed with comfort in mind \u2013 it\u2019s slightly lighter compared to the first PlayStation VR headset, even with the addition of new features. Also included is an integrated vent for extra air flow while playing, and a lens adjustment dial so users have an additional option to match the lens distance between their eyes to optimize their view. PlayStation VR2 will also have a simple setup process \u2014 with a single cable connected directly to PS5, players can immediately jump into the VR experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">With more than 100 titles currently in development, PlayStation VR2 will launch alongside a diverse portfolio of games from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners, including <em class=\"sie-paragraph\">Horizon Call of the Mountain, Gran Turismo 7, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy\u2019s Edge Enhanced Edition, and Resident Evil Village. <\/em>Beyond the initial launch date,additional titles set to launch for PlayStation VR2 include <em class=\"sie-paragraph\">The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution, Creed Rise to Glory: Undisputed Edition, Tetris Effect, Firewall Ultra<\/em>, <em class=\"sie-paragraph\">and more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">The breadth of the PlayStation VR2 game portfolio showcases the strength of support from the industry\u2019s leading game developers, who are committed to creating exceptional experiences for players in this new generation of virtual reality gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">PlayStation VR2 is available for purchase through PlayStation\u2019s online store at direct.playstation.com&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">For more information, visit: <a class=\"sie-paragraph\" href=\"https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/en-us\/ps-vr2\/?smcid=pdc%3Aen-us%3Aps5%3Aprimary%20nav%3Amsg-hardware%3Aplaystation-vr2\">www.playstation.com\/ps-vr2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\"><strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">PlayStation\u00aeVR2 Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Display method\u200b<\/strong><\/td><td>OLED<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Panel resolution\u200b<\/strong><\/td><td>2000 x 2040 per eye<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Panel refresh rate\u200b<\/strong><\/td><td>90Hz, 120Hz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lens separation\u200b<\/strong><\/td><td>Adjustable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Field of View\u200b<\/strong><\/td><td>Approx. 110 degrees<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sensors\u200b<\/strong><\/td><td>&#8211;
