Sony’s first ever virtual reality headset was a PS4 accessory, so it felt like a dedicated PS5 version was always on the cards.
That finally arrived in 2023 with the launch of the PlayStation VR 2 , which is specifically designed to work with the PlayStation 5 .
The original PS VR is compatible with the PS5 (provided you request the separate adapter ), but the new model is a significant upgrade. A new OLED screen, wider 110-degree field of view and support for 120Hz refresh rate and 4K HDR content are some of its key improvements.
