Sony released first details on the PlayStation VR2 for the PS5

Sony starts the year with first details on the new VR headset for the PS5. The official name of the new device is the PlayStation VR2 and the controllers paired with it will be called the PlayStation Sense controller. The device will feature new sensory features, eye tracking and an OLED display with a 90-120Hz refresh rate.

Here are features provided by a detailed blog post by PlayStation’s officla Blog:

Visual Fidelity: For a high-fidelity visual experience, PS VR2 offers 4K HDR, 110-degree field of view, and foveated rendering. With an OLED display, players can expect a display resolution of 2000×2040 per eye and smooth frame rates of 90/120Hz.

Headset-based Controller Tracking: With inside-out tracking, PS VR2 tracks you and your controller through integrated cameras embedded in the VR headset. Your movements and the direction you look at are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.

New Sensory Features: PS VR2 Sense Technology combines eye tracking, headset feedback, 3D Audio, and the innovative PS VR2 Sense controller to create an incredibly deep feeling of immersion. Headset feedback is a new sensory feature that amplifies the sensations of in-game actions from the player. It’s 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’s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to the character’s head, or the thrust of a vehicle as the character speeds forward. Additionally, PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech makes sounds in the player’s surroundings come alive, adding to this new level of immersion.

Eye Tracking: With eye tracking, PS VR2 detects the motion of your 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, allowing for a heightened emotional response and enhanced expression that provide a new level of realism in gaming.

Sony also announced a VR game exclusive to the PS5 system with the PSVR2 and it’s called Horizon Call of the Mountain from Horizon Forbidden West developers Guerrilla Games and Firesprite.

No photos or the device were presented but we did get a short teaser of the Horizon Call of the Mountain, which you can see below.
