Is there a new PlayStation VR model? How is it different?
A hardware update to PlayStation VR is being prepared. The new version, model number CUH-ZVR2, features an updated design that enables the stereo headphone cables to be integrated with the VR headset and a slimmer, streamlined connection cable. There’s also an updated Processor Unit that supports HDR pass through, enabling users to enjoy HDR-compatible PS4 content on a TV without having to disconnect the Processor Unit in between the TV and the PS4 system. This function can be used only when the VR headset is turned off.

When will the new PS VR model become available in North America? How much will it be?
We will share details on the launch timing in North America at a later date. The pricing of the PS VR bundles will remain the same.

How can I distinguish between the old PS VR headset and the new one when I’m purchasing?
The packaging for PlayStation VR will change slightly when the new model hits stores. To differentiate, look for the model number printed on the box. The previous PS VR’s model number is CUH-ZVR1, and the new PS VR’s model number is CUH-ZVR2. Also, the product image on the packaging will be updated to show changes on the new model, like the integrated headphones on the VR headset.

If I already own a PS VR, can I swap out my old Processor Unit with the updated one?
Because the cables of CUH-ZVR1 and CUH-ZVR2 are different, you cannot swap the Processor Units.

Are the PS VR games I already own compatible with the new model?
Yes, all PS VR games are compatible with both PS VR models.

HDR pass through should have been available in the first model.
Adding it to the new model isn't enough to buy a new headset for those that already have one, but I guess it's a good move moving forward.
Integrated headphones aren't a big deal to me either.
A shame the support on PSVR seems to be going the way I suspected it would before it came out.
The hardware is too expensive and there aren't enough meaningful games to make the argument that full retail price is worth it.
Dope experience. Might just be too far ahead of its time though.

Support has been even stronger since E3 and TGS recently. Not sure what you mean here.
You omitted the sentence beneath that one.
"The hardware is too expensive and there aren't enough meaningful games to make the argument that full retail price is worth it. "
If you have a PSVR there are few games that I would say you "have to have".
The library is anemic. They need more "full games" (Such as Resident Evil 7) to make the case for VR gaming.
A bunch of cool games that you can beat in 2 - 3 hours doesn't warrant a $400 purchase.
Most of the games I would recommend also have little, to no replay value.

I'm taking the plunge once I can get all gear with move and camera for £200. I'm big on VR but not trying to spend £350+ on something which might not get supported.

They should do a VR exp for the older GTA games then :ohhh:


Actually would be interesting if they remade old games with a VR perceptive

Farpoint is the most intense VR game for me so far. I like it a lot (besides the horrendous story) but I'm half drenched in sweat after about 15 minutes. :pachaha:

I liked farpoint but the story, setting, and characters seemed so generic. But it shows how great a true VR FPS can be. A lit shooter with an actual story would be nuts.
