It’s no surprise that a VR headset will also be coming for the PlayStation 5, sony could announce this new hardware at any time. However, although no official announcement has been made, UploadVR has obtained and shared technical information about the new VR from sources within the studio.
We have no idea what the device looks like yet. The only information we had from the previous statements was that the device would not be wireless (it will be connected to ps5 with a single cable), and the release date is 2022.
According to UploadVR, this new virtual reality device will offer a resolution of 4000×2080 pixels (2000×2040 per eye). Although hp reverb G2 is the market leader in this regard, it is a higher resolution than Oculus Quest 2. The resolution of the playstation VR headset at the ready is 1920 x 2040.
The new title will also use the “foveated rendering” technique. This technique processes and clarifies images of the places being looked at, while blurring the rest. This both reduces the processing load on the device and increases realism.
Sony will use a vibration engine that allows haptic feedback in this new VR headset, just like dualsense controllers.
UploadVR says “all these new features define the true next generation virtual reality experience sony is planning for PlayStation 5 owners.”
