PlayStation VR2 review

PlayStation VR2 is the obvious pick if a PS5 is already under the TV. Sony cut the recommended price to $399.99, and that includes the headset, the PS VR2 Sense controllers and stereo headphones, which makes it the lowest verified price on this list. The hardware is strong for the money: OLED panels at 2000 x 2040 per eye, 90Hz and 120Hz refresh rates, a field of view of about 110 degrees, an IR eye-tracking camera for each eye and vibration in the headset itself. Tracking comes from 4 cameras on the headset, so there are no base stations to mount, and one USB Type-C cable runs to the console. The Sense controllers add trigger effects and haptic feedback. The limits are firm. It only works with PS5 consoles, it has no standalone mode, and Sony's FAQ says original PS VR games are not compatible. Apple also lists the PS VR2 Sense controller as a supported accessory for Vision Pro.
