PlayStation VR 2

The PlayStation VR2 is the second revision of Sony's virtual reality platform designed exclusively for the PlayStation 5. The redesign focuses on reducing weight and cords, with a singular USB-C line powering the device. In addition, the PSVR 2 features a 4K OLED display in its two lenses. The input devices are dubbed the Sense controllers and share a similar design to the Vive Index from Valve, with the added benefits of the DualSense haptic features throughout them. Due to the redesigned input methods, the original PlayStation VR 1 games aren't compatible with the new hardware revision. Still, some games are being patched/reworked to function correctly with the new device.
