We know that Sony is making PSVR 2, but what will the headset look like?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sony has confirmed that PSVR 2 , a second-iteration of its relatively successful PlayStation VR headset , is currently in development but what could the device look like?

Sony hasnt shared any information regarding the PSVR 2 headset itself, other than the fact it wont be wireless. That means were still waiting to find out the technical details of Sonys next-gen virtual reality headset, though we do at least know what to expect from the PSVR 2s controllers .

While its still unclear when Sony will make its grand reveal of the PSVR 2, weve created renders of what the headsets design might look like, along with some predictions on the type of features that could be included. Remember, theres no guarantee that these renders will be accurate when Sony pulls back the curtain on the PSVR 2, but its always fun to speculate. Thanks go to Paul Blachford, art editor at our publisher Future, for his excellent work on

As you can see from the renders, we believe Sony will closely follow the existing look of the original PSVR. The headset strap will remain the same, with the majority of the weight of the headset resting on a users forehead instead of on the nose. We still believe that Sonys PSVR is one of the most comfortable headsets around, so expect minor changes here, if any at all though a button to quickly lift the visor up and away from your forehead for
a quick glimpse of the outside world would be welcome. A familiar yet
improved design (Image credit: Future)

We expect the PSVR 2 headset to include the subtle circle, square, triangle, and cross pattern found on the PS5 DualSense controller and PS5 itself. The pattern is also present on the PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset , so Sony will likely continue this clever branding touch on the PlayStation VR 2 headset.

Though our renders show an all-black design, something that would match the PSVR 2 controllers, its possible a white trim might be present. The PS5s divisive two-tone white and black design isnt for everyone and was actually present on the original PSVR headset.

A shift to an all-black color scheme would help separate the last-gen and current device and also meet the desire of many gamers who wished the PS5 was all black in the first place. And for something that sits on your head and over your eyes, having it match the console isnt really necessary in our opinion. Greater fidelity (Image credit: Future)

On the outside of the device, we believe the PSVR 2 will include more sensors and tracking dots than before for improved performance. In conjunction with the PS5 HD Camera, which is only really used for streaming to Twitch from PlayStation 5 at the moment, the PSVR 2 should offer a far more sophisticated experience overall. In terms of inside-out tracking, its unclear whether the PSVR 2 will support it, though were not ruling it out. Expect better audio (Image credit: Future)

When it comes to sound, the PSVR 2 could include bone-conduction speaker technology built into the headset, which would mean your ears could remain open, as you wont need to use any earbuds or over-ear headphones.

If Sony does opt to use earbuds or headphones of some kind, expect them to be tuned to take advantage of 3D Audio , Sonys proprietary spatial audio technology thats available on PS5.

With a rumored launch date of Christmas 2022, we should hear more about the PSVR 2 in the new year. For now, well have to wait patiently until Sony
reveal more. Want to get into VR? Check out the Best VR headsets
