After confirming earlier this yr that the PS5 will be receiving a new VR headset peripheral, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan has farther outlined the company's commitment to all things virtual reality.

In an interview with Nikkei (flagged by Upload VR), Ryan confirmed that PlayStation has big VR plans. He said: "The side by side generation VR system is a very strategic opportunity for PlayStation. Nosotros launched PSVR in 2016 and take had time to empathize the VR experience for years. What I learned from VR is that the potential market is huge."

PlayStation'south showtime foray into VR has sold more than five million units as of January 2020. So there is conspicuously significant demand for virtual reality experiences among panel gamers. Sony's next-gen VR headset is primed to push the needle even further forward bringing experiences not capable on the showtime PSVR headset to console players.

The PSVR has often earned praise for not relying on gimmicks and instead offer users a range of fully-fleshed-out gaming experiences. It seems that is the objective once once again with the PSVR 2.

"I desire to continue to provide a loftier gaming experience to proceed the community entertained," said Ryan.

We already know of at least one PS5 VR game currently in development, and there has been some speculation that the headset could receive a port of the critical acclaimed VR game Half-Life: Alyx. Nosotros'd also beloved to run across Team ASOBI, who created Astro Bot: Recuse Mission one of the original PSVR'due south best games, given the opportunity to make another Astro Bot game as the niggling guy is becoming something of PlayStation mascot at this point.

In terms of the PSVR 2 headset itself, we don't know what it will actually look like but we have had confirmation that it will connect to the PS5 via a single cord, which is a not bad relief as the starting time PSVR requires a nightmare of cablevision spaghetti to function. Sony has given us a wait at its next-gen VR controllers though, and they look similar a huge upgrade from the PlayStation Move wands used by the current PSVR headset.

It's already been confirmed that the PSVR two won't exist releasing this twelvemonth (perhaps because Sony tin't even go PS5 restocks under command). But nosotros'll likely hear more about the headset throughout 2021 as its clearly a fundamental surface area that PlayStation is committed to long-term.
