Sony confirmed earlier this year at CES 2022<\/a> that its upcoming virtual reality headset is called the PlayStation VR2 (PSVR2).<\/p>\n

Now, the Tokyo, Japan-based company has unveiled the new headset\u2019s design<\/a> and offered a look at its PS VR2 Sense controllers.<\/p>\n

Shared by the senior vice president of platform experience Hideaki Nishino, PlayStation\u2019s blog post<\/a> outlines how Sony has intentionally designed the headset and its controllers to look similar, with both sharing an \u201corb\u201d aesthetic. According to Nishino, \u201cThe circular orb shape represents the 360-degree view that players feel when they enter the virtual reality world, so this shape captures it nicely.\u201d<\/p>\n

While not much was revealed about the upcoming headset\u2019s tech specifications, the blog post does mention PlayStation VR2\u2019s new lens adjustment dials, an overall slimmer and lighter design, a built-in motor for headset feedback, along with an updated design to promote ventilation and airflow.<\/p>\n

Nishino also mentions that the PS VR2 will offer a single cord setup, making it easy to get the headset up and running.<\/p>\n

From what we already know<\/a>,\u00a0the headset will feature an OLED display with a 2000 x 2040 pixel resolution per eye, a 90Hz to 120Hz refresh rate and a field-of-view of roughly 110 degrees.<\/p>\n

Sony didn\u2019t share when the new VR headset will hit the market or how much it will cost, though previous rumours have indicated PSVR2 will launch in 2022.<\/p>\n
