Indie Dev Bit Planet Gives Us Our First Look at PSVR2 Headset and Controllers Out in the Wild

PSVR2

While Sony has given us our first official look at the PlayStation VR2 a few months ago, there’s still quite nothing like seeing unreleased item shots out into the wild. Well, that’s exactly what we have now, as an indie dev has shared the first look at what seems to be a PSVR2 unit (headset and controllers, and cables) lying on a seat.

The indie dev who shared the PSVR2 headset and controller pics was none other than Bit Planet Games (Ultrawings, The Battle of Sol), who even asked people what game is coming to PlayStation VR2.

Mind, we’re not sure whether Sony is aware of this photo’s existence, and if the company will ask Bit Planet to take it down. If so, we backed it up:

In case you’re not sold on the PSVR2 just yet, here’s the official product features straight from Sony!

  • Visual Fidelity: For a high-fidelity visual experience, PS VR2 offers 4K HDR, 110-degree field of view, and foveated rendering. With an OLED display, players can expect a display resolution of 2000×2040 per eye and smooth frame rates of 90/120Hz.
  • Headset-based Controller Tracking: With inside-out tracking, PS VR2 tracks you and your controller through integrated cameras embedded in the VR headset. Your movements and the direction you look at are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.
  • New Sensory Features: PS VR2 Sense Technology combines eye tracking, headset feedback, 3D Audio, and the innovative PS VR2 Sense controller to create an incredibly deep feeling of immersion. Headset feedback is a new sensory feature that amplifies the sensations of in-game actions from the player. It’s created by a single built-in motor with vibrations that add an intelligent tactile element, bringing players closer to the gameplay experience. For example, gamers can feel a character’s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to the character’s head, or the thrust of a vehicle as the character speeds forward. Additionally, PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech makes sounds in the player’s surroundings come alive, adding to this new level of immersion.
  • Eye Tracking: With eye tracking, PS VR2 detects the motion of your eyes, so a simple look in a specific direction can create an additional input for the game character. This allows players to interact more intuitively in new and lifelike ways, allowing for a heightened emotional response and enhanced expression that provide a new level of realism in gaming.
