Announced last year, Sony’s next-generation VR headset the PlayStation VR2 is available now at Best Buy. The PlayStation VR2 Sense Technology includes several innovative features that enhance gameplay and provide a more immersive experience.

These include headset feedback, eye tracking, 3D audio, and adaptive triggers and haptic feedback on the PS VR2 Sense controllers. When combined with compatible games, these features create a truly immersive experience.

In addition to these advanced features, the PSVR2 headset also offers enhanced controller tracking, high-fidelity visuals in 4000 x 2040 HDR video format (2000 x 2040 per eye), and a true next-generation gaming experience. The headset has also been designed with comfort in mind, featuring a slightly slimmer and lighter design with an integrated vent for improved air flow and a lens adjustment dial for a customized fit. We hope players will enjoy this new design.
