PlayStation has announced the next generation of its PSVR headset – but it won't necessarily be called PlayStation VR 2, and it won't be coming in 2021. Sony confirmed that PSVR 2 will come to PS5, and will "connect to PS5 with a single cord to simplify setup and improve ease-of-use, while enabling a high-fidelity visual experience". It's described as "a next-gen VR system that enhances everything from resolution and field of view to tracking and input." No images have been released of the device.
The headset will also come alongside the introduction of a new PSVR controller (seemignly replacing the PS Move wands), "which will incorporate some of the key features found in the DualSense wireless controller, along with a focus on great ergonomics."
However, the headset won't be available this year: "There’s still a lot of development underway for our new VR system, so it won’t be launching in 2021", reads the blog post. "But we wanted to provide this early update to our fans, as the development community has started to work on creating new worlds for you to explore in virtual reality. "
n an interview with GQ, SIE CEO Jim Ryan confirmed that there is no official title for the headset, and that dev kits are "about to go out". Ryan also described it as a "completely new VR format for PS5". Ryan indicates that we'll learn more about the new headset later this year.
Work on a PSVR successor has been a bit of an open secret thanks to reports and patents showcasing PlayStation's investments in the field. Over the years Sony has filed patents for VR-compatible prescription glasses, a new potential PSVR controller (which has included research of a Valve Index-style controller, a patent to let spectators mess with players in VR, and much more. And job listings over the last year have pointed to PlayStation working on a "next-generation VR head-mounted display."

who cares if it's wired
a lot of ppl and that’s why it’ll remain a talking point
a lot of folks actually predicted/hoped it’d be wireless but I guess the narrative will be “who cares” now that it’s not
at least it’s still an improvement over the previous crazy setup which sony was aware needed to be changed
I feel like if they can't make VR on pc wireless then it was always unrealistic to expect it on a console.
The wire never really bothered me anyway.
