PlayStation VR 2 officially arrives in a few days, and ahead of the official rollout, reviews have gone live for Sony’s new headset. A successor to the original PSVR, PSVR 2 combines a huge leap forward in technology while taking a few cues from the PlayStation 5 and its DualSense controller.
So far, critics have been impressed by the elegant design of the headset and the powerful hardware inside of it. While PSVR 2 has some incredible tech to marvel at, there are a few caveats as well, as reviewers have noted, Horizon Call of the Mountain is doing most of the heavy lifting on the software side of the equation, while every other game rolling out to PSVR 2 over the next month consists of titles that are currently available on other VR platforms.
“The PSVR 2 is undoubtedly a major step forward for PlayStation’s virtual reality ambitions and one of the best headsets on the market, but in the ever-shifting landscape of virtual reality, its price and current value proposition leave it in an awkward position once again,” Tamoor Hussain wrote in GameSpot’s PlayStation VR 2 review.
