The PlayStation VR (PS VR, known by its code name Project Morpheus during development) is a virtual reality headset developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment,[5] which was released in October 2016.[1]
It is fully functional with the PlayStation 4 and is backwards compatible with the PlayStation 5 home video game console. The PlayStation VR is compatible with the PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility using a USB to PlayStation Camera adapter that is shipped for free by Sony to anyone who has previously purchased the PS VR. There are currently no PlayStation 5 games announced that support it; if a PS VR supported game also has a PlayStation 5 version available, the PlayStation 4 version has to be installed instead via backward compatibility to be able to play in virtual reality.[6] In certain games and demos for the VR, the player wearing the headset acts separately from other players without the headset. The PlayStation VR system can output a picture to both the PlayStation VR headset and a television simultaneously, with the television either mirroring the picture displayed on the headset, or displaying a separate image for competitive or cooperative gameplay. PlayStation VR works with either the standard DualShock 4 controller, PlayStation Move controllers or the PlayStation VR Aim controller.[7]
The PlayStation VR has a 5.7 inch OLED panel, with a display resolution of 1080p.[8][9] The headset also has a processor box which enables the Social Screen video output to the television, as well as process the 3D audio effect, and uses a 3.5mm headphone jack.[8][10] The headset also has nine positional LEDs on its surface for the PlayStation Camera to track 360 degree head movement.[8][11]
As of December 31, 2019, PlayStation VR had sold-through 5 million units worldwide.
Sony announced the PlayStation VR2 for the PlayStation 5 at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show.[12][13] It was released on February 22, 2023.
