Do I need a PS5 to use the PSVR 2?
Yes.Sony’s second-generation virtual reality headset is powered by the PS5 so you need the latest console in order to use it. It’s not a standalone piece of equipment like theMeta Quest 2. Combined, then, it’s an expensive investment. However, it is still more affordable than similarly powerful PC-based VR kits.
And going by the high praise given in our review, it sounds like Sony has knocked it out of the park with this new version. In fact, the PSVR 2 has already made its way onto our list of thebest VR headsets.
The image quality is superb, the controls are very responsive and it’s easy to set up. There’s a strong selection of early launch titles that show off the tech, too. Not only is there the aforementionedHorizon Call of the Mountain, but there are also VR versions ofTetris Effect,Rez InfiniteandResident Evil Villagethanks to a free DLC update.
