PlayStation senior vice-president Hideaki Nishino has confirmed that the brand’s next generation virtual reality headset, the PlayStation VR2 will not be compatible with Sony’s virtual reality games from the previous generation. According to his explanation via the latest episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast, this is due to the newer system’s design “to deliver a truly next-generation VR experience.
“PS VR2 has much more advanced features, like [an] all-new controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers,, eye tracking, 3D audio is coming together and 4K HDR, of course,” Nishino said. “This means developing games for PS VR2 requires a whole different approach than the original PS VR.” As highlighted by the brand’s senior vice-president, the newer VR gaming system from Sony features plenty of new technology, including brand new controllers that are designed exclusively for the virtual reality experience. Unlike the original PS VR, the upcoming headset uses inside-out tracking which allows for improved tracking for head movement, user positioning, and controllers. The older system, on the other hand, relies on the PlayStation Camera accessory for movement tracking.
That being said, it still is possible for users to enjoy their past-generation VR games through the PlayStation 5, as it does support the older hardware. This also means that you have to keep the original headset, the PS Camera accessory, and the 12-year old PlayStation move controllers around if you wish to experience PS VR exclusives such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Blood & Truth, and Farpoint., though no exact date has been confirmed just yet.
