One man. One Twitter account. One helluva appetite for PSVR news. Game release dates quoted are subject to change and may vary by region. I don't work for SIE.
Did you know? A bonus feature for PSVR2 buyers - you’ll be able to play PS5 games such as Call Of Duty, Doom Eternal, Fortnite, Dirt 5 and more at a silky smooth (up to) 120fps via the headset in cinematic mode, even without having a compatible TV.
Flat2VR Studios have confirmed they are working with developers to create official PlayStation VR2 versions of selected PS5 games.

PlayStation VR2 sold almost 600,000 units in its first 6 weeks - way above “analyst” estimates and ahead of the original PSVR , despite there being less PS5 owners to sell to than there were PS4 owners at time of launch.

After the tremendous VR update for Gran Turismo 7, I’m not sure I ever want to play any future racing game that doesn’t support VR. Baffled by

@EASPORTSF1
decision to support PCVR but not PSVR2 in F1 23.
I started this account 3 years ago due to a frustrating lack of information out there from major gaming news outlets. Now they’re finally starting to cover it but they’re still massively uninformed and in some cases harming the scene. Guess I better stick around for a bit longer.
Market research firm Superdata say PlayStation VR sales topped 700,000 headsets in the last quarter of 2018 helping the VR market as a while grow 30% over the previous year, beating expectations.

Sony have confirmed that when using your PlayStation VR on PS5, the current PlayStation Camera will work. However, It will require a PlayStation Camera adaptor that will be provided for free.
PS Move and PS Aim are also supported. DualShock 4 will work for PS4 games, but not PS5
Astro Bot Rescue Mission was a masterpiece VR title. If the new Astro game from

@btl_sandwich
talking about the technology of PSVR2 bringing out the best of the game, saying “The Foveated Rendering allows the game to look sharper than we have ever seen it…”
Fun fact.
When PSVR launched there were around 48m PS4 owners to sell it to.
When PSVR2 launched there were only 31m PS5 owners to sell it to.
But we’re supposed to be disappointed with estimated launch numbers.
Huge congratulations to

feels like the first in a run of high quality, more substantial games coming to PlayStation VR this year. With Firewall, Astro Bot, Blood & Truth, Tetris Effect and more still to come, the rest of 2018 is looks incredibly promising.

It’s been a long time coming, but Hellsplit Arena finally has a PlayStation VR2 launch window of Q2 2025. The game is set to have massive content updates by the time it launches and the developers vow to utilise PSVR2’s capabilities “to the maximum”.
Alvo comes to PSVR2 next week with improved manual reloading and the option of native 90fps or 60fps reprojected to 120fps.
1 - 2 months after launch, all maps will be upgraded with higher resolution and higher quality textures along with realtime lighting and shadows.
In theory….. could PlayStation make PSVR2 wireless by selling a user-replaceable headband containing a battery and a WiFi chip? And would you upgrade if this ever became available?
