PSVR 2's Tipping Point: Will There be a PSVR 3?

The PSVR 2 is a fantastic piece of kit, held back by a lack of software support. With this in mind, will we ever see a PSVR 3?

PSVR1 sold around 10 million and PSVR2 sold around 1 million. I don't see any logical room for a PSVR3 unless they have something special. PSVR was basically PS Move for Sony, hedging their bets just in case VR was a mass market product, but it clearly wasn't. With news of Quest 3/s sales faltering badly and question marks over there even being a Quest 4 I highly doubt a PSVR3 is even being considered.

kevco3322h ago

The question marks over the Quest 4 are 'when', not 'if'. Meta's new approach is smart glasses, putting a longer divide between Quest iterations. This is a good move, in my opinion. It will lead to eventual convergence of AR and VR.

It will be a big market as soon as they can have a completely wireless setup. When they can do that, it will be much better.

PSVR2 sold 600,000 units in its first six weeks. It continues to be updated and supported. Latest update was this week.

Profchaos10h ago

From what I recall psvr2 was at around 4 million shortly after launch

Yesyes10h ago

Yeah no chance. Loved PSVR1 but not much to play on VR2. I’m only keeping it in the extremely faint hope that Half Life Alyx is announced.

slayernz7h ago

U Kidding right? There's heaps to play, GT7, resident evils, NMS, Hitman, Metro, TWD to name a few.....even games like mini golf were a ton of fun

crazyCoconuts10h ago

Not sure about the numbers, but I'm sure they're not stellar.
And with Yoshida's parting comments on how the entrenched leaders view PSVR it would be a big surprise if they were planning on another iteration next gen. Such a shame- I feel like they lost that innovative spirit

Max Mustard Delevopers estimates that Playstation VR 2 has sold around 2 million units.

I doubt it, and PS2 VR is so good, I hope Sony continues to develop for it on PS6. Why not. They can expand the install base over this Gen into next.

Neonridr16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

given how quickly Sony themselves abandoned support for the headset, I don't see them taking another crack anytime in the near future. PSVR2 was so much more technically sound and delivered a much better experience over the previous model, but I think VR is losing its steam and many people were turned off from the first headset after it delivered somewhat underwhelming experiences due to the limitations of the original device.

I love VR and will continue to support it, but I'd be surprised to see a PSVR3 anytime soon.

lukasmain11h ago

VR needs to be completely wireless and a super easy plug and play. When they can do that, it will be a lot more successful.

darthv7210h ago

IF there is to be a VR3, it needs to address the biggest missed opportunity that Sony is guilty of with VR2. that is it needs to support ALL of their VR titles, no matter what. The lack of full VR1 support for VR2 cannot be under stated. And even in the face of declining VR2 sales... Sony STILL has not taken the opportunity to address this omission.

I'd definitely get a VR3 if it supported not only its own but all of their previous works as well. Wireless certainly would be welcome reason as well.

Profchaos10h ago

Im a psvr2 owner I love it but I wouldn't buy a psvr 3 unless Sony made a real commitment to supporting it via games

Fun game on quest, deff picking this up for the psvr2

Babadook715h ago

"In the PS VR2 version, players can expect a range of exclusive features, including improved bike models, an animated skybox, more realistic tarmac, an animated crowd featuring flags and smoke bombs, as well as additional enhancements."

Never heard of smoke bombs being brought to events before.

I’m going to wait and check out some gameplay, not going to make the same mistake I did with Grand Rush VR.

Day 1 for me Quest version was good

Lol, maybe I'm becoming an old fart, but excessive violence in VR seems to bother me more than in flat games. Feels more visceral when you're looking a person in the eyes before mutilating them.

By no means am I trying to be a prude and saying these games shouldn't exist. I just play them more sparingly, need more breaks. I need some beautiful, refreshing & relaxing VR experiences too to balance them out so I don't feel so heavy.

Babadook72d ago

I’m an old fart too. I couldn’t believe how violent saints and sinners was.
