Sony’s next-gen VR headset for its PlayStation 5 console has specs, a confirmed game, and we know what its design looks like, too. All we need to know next are release date and price. The PlayStation VR 2 looks, in a lot of ways, like the headset we wanted for the PS5 all along. A new design reveal shows how the headset has a color scheme that matches the PS5, and a headband-type visor that’s similar to but smaller than what Sony’s first PSVR was like. The high-res, vibrating, camera-equipped, eye-tracking capabilities of Sony’s second-gen PlayStation headset look like they fit the high-end specs anyone would dream of. The one thing lacking, however, is full wireless like Meta (Facebook)’s Quest 2. The PSVR 2 is USB-C tethered to the PS5. Earlier this year at CES, Sony revealed a ton of details about its expected next-gen VR headset, which is an update to the PlayStation VR that Sony released for the PlayStation 4 back in 2016. Sony’s been revealing more details about the headset in little drips and drops: specs were revealed in January in a detailed blog post, while its funky dedicated VR controllers, which are reminiscent of the PS5’s DualSense controllers, were revealed last year.
