Isabelle Tomatis, Vice President of Brand, Hardware, and Peripherals for Sony Interactive Entertainment commented: “We’ve created the PS VR2 headset with comfort in mind, in a slightly slimmer and lighter design compared to our previous headset. We’ve also included an integrated vent for extra airflow, and a lens adjustment dial for a more customized feel. We hope players will enjoy this new design.”
There are several games that will be made available by a variety of developers. These include games from major franchises such as Resident Evil, Horizon, Star Wars, and The Walking Dead.
