Will Sony’s PlayStation VR 2 live up to the hype?

In much less than two weeks, the PlayStation VR2 is scheduled to go on sale. On February 22, Sony will launch a new age of virtual reality on the PS5, and with the second generation of its headgear soon to be released, marketing efforts are inevitably picking up.

With a new trailer that showcases the headset’s advantages and shows them with specific gaming sequences from upcoming titles, Sony is hammering the marketing drum.

A brand-new PS VR2 Gameplay Features trailer from Sony has just been released, and this two-minute sizzle reel-style clip has only heightened users’ anticipation. Though perhaps not as large as Sony had intended, the PlayStation VR’s initial release on the PlayStation 4 demonstrated that there is a market for virtual reality games on consoles.

However, Sony is hopeful that the PS VR2 on the PlayStation 5 will help the platform development and that the improved PlayStation VR2 technology will help draw in new users. On February 22, the VR2 is expected to go on sale. For $549.99, customers may get the virtual reality headgear and two Sense controllers.

Although the PS VR2 won’t support PlayStation VR games, the launch lineup of over 30 games should prove to be an enticing selection for early adopters. The most recent PlayStation VR2 trailer from Sony provides a clear justification for PlayStation 5 owners to consider purchasing the VR system when it launches.

The teaser for the PlayStation VR2 concentrates on several of its key selling aspects in much less than two minutes. The PlayStation VR’s hardware features include a “4K HDR Display,” which refers to its two 2000×2040 OLED displays, “Tempest 3D AudioTech” for 3D audio through headphones, “110° Field of View,” which is higher than the original PlayStation VR’s 100° FOV, “Foveated Rendering,” “Eye-Tracking,” and even “Headset Feedback,” which vibrates the players’ skulls.

The new trailer also places a lot of emphasis on the PS VR2 Sense controllers. Highlighted features for in-game natural hand gestures are “Haptic Feedback,” “Adaptive Triggers,” and “Finger Touch Detection.” Players engage with virtual environments using their hands, and the more lifelike the hand presence, the more immersed they might feel.

It makes sense why Sony is emphasizing the Sense controllers in addition to the headset. The incorporation of footage from forthcoming PlayStation VR2 games is another feature of the trailer worth highlighting.

While not everyone is ready to experiment with virtual reality just yet, this brief Sony trailer provides a fascinating overview of what the PlayStation VR2 has to offer. In terms of appearance and functionality, the PS VR2 is an obvious improvement over the original PlayStation VR and a legitimate rival to current PC VR headsets.
