In a recent playstation firmware update a ps vr 2 icon has been spotted with a battery indicator

What do you think
Error or more to come

I cannot see Sony investing money into a wireless PSVR2 when they have failed spectacularly at supporting the wired headset from a software perspective.

 

[NeonGhost]

Just for the controllers VR is dead on PlayStation

 

[RoboFu]

is there a new blutooth or wifi protocol thats fast enough now?

 

[Bitstream]

I was hopeful when it launched, but have a strong feeling now that the PC adapter is out, sony is just going to let VR2 be propped up by any indy / 3rd party only. As strongly as I want it, I'm not even sure RE9 or 5 Remake will still get VR either. Sincerely doubt they are investing any additional resources into VR

 

[Trogdor1123]

So a new version for something they are not supporting? Unless it is selling well for pcs I don't see this happening

The blog post about the charging features just went live. It shows the icon but makes no mention of it being wireless. I'd say no here.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Unlikely, Sony has forgotten it even made PSVR 2.

The Meta Quest headsets have been doing that over Wi-Fi 5 for half a decade now, and PS5 has Wi-Fi 6.

Sony formally acknowledging PSVR2's existence is a pleasant surprise.

But why is a battery icon there under the PSVR2 headset icon?

Could this be a signal that a wireless PSVR2 headset could work ONLY on the PS5 Pro, since it has Wi-Fi 7?

It has the controllers icon and the headset battery icon on the same screen.

There are new VR games announced and released constantly. I have too much to even get through, GT7 takes up most of the VR time. It's a third party/indie supported device, always has been, on all platforms.

I once contemplated whether Sony would release a new model of PSVR2 that was wireless rather than wait for PSVR3 before going wireless.

I still don't necessarily think that is likely though, especially with them downsizing Firesprite and closing London Studio.

Part of the problem isn't just wireless though, it's the lack of stand-alone gaming. This seems like it would be even more difficult to sell if it required a PS5 Pro.

Sony innovates and revolutionize the market yet again

Not without an extremely lossy artifact ridden image. In problematic scenes Quest 3 literally looks like a bad Youtube video when there's a lot of high frequency detail, complex geometry, or atmospheric haze/fog effects. It only works well in low detail cartoon textured shit. And I'm speaking of 500Mbps "God Mode" Virtual Desktop on a dedicated 6Ghz band, the default shit most people run is infinitely worse. It would really require dedicated 60 Ghz hardware attached to both the headset and console to actually do wireless right, which I've gathered is very difficult and expensive.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

please Sony, figure this out so I can ditch Meta

I hate that the Quest continues to be the best option for VR

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

I see them sell an wireless addon at best.

How? do you just cut the wire and duct tape this on?

but its on PC now, they could make bank and its heavily discounted right now

 

[RavageX]

Its indicating how much longer it will receive official support. A bit shorter than expected.

 

[I'm nobody]

Sony needs to buy flat2vr studios
They want to make astro vr enabled
Think about the other ps games they could do

Before meta get them

Hmm you may be onto something.

The controller thumbnail looks like it's broken, which may represent stick drift?
