Sony's PSVR 2 is fix to be quite the upgrade from the original PSVR if new leaks are true. Gamers who've managed to bag a PS5 can await frontward to VR gaming in 4K, and an fifty-fifty more than immersive experience thanks to the headset's reported haptics motor.

UploadVR  cites "multiple sources" that accept shared the PSVR 2'south specs, and it'south going to exist a much more refined piece of kit than its predecessor.

The Oculus Quest 2 offers 1832 x 1920 per eye resolution, while the original PSVR offers just 960 × 1080 per eye. According to the PSVR 2 written report, the next-gen headset will boast a resolution of 4000 × 2040 — 2000×2040 per middle.

In terms of rendering, the PSVR two will work smarter by utilizing foveated rendering. That ways that annihilation in the users' peripheral vision that isn't being looked at directly volition be rendered in lower quality. That'll reduce the rendering workload for the hardware, but hinges on keeping upwards with the optics' rapid movements then as not to break immersion.

Another welcome touch is inside-out tracking. Now that Sony is ditching the PS Move controllers, the headset'southward onboard cameras will be used to rails the position of the new orb-shaped controllers instead.

Of class, the one downside is that the PSVR 2 won't exist wireless. It'll feature a USB-C type cable that plugs into the handy port at the front of the PS5. Although given that the rest of the hardware has been upgraded and refined to such a degree, we can't bemoan the being of a single cablevision too much.
