While the first impressions of PSVR2 Praise a variety of featuresIn addition to the overall quality of the experience, one of the features that will not be incorporated into the new Sony PS5 exclusive headphones is backward compatibility. The company’s new VR titles will remain there.

in most The latest episode of the official PlayStation PodcastHideaki Nishino, PlayStation’s Senior Vice President Platform Experience, talked about the extraordinary features and development saga of designing and building a new VR headset for PS5. When asked directly whether next-generation VR titles can be played on the new headset, Nishino said “PSVR games are not compatible with PSVR2 because PSVR2 is designed to deliver a next-generation virtual reality experience.”

Nishino cited PSVR2’s advanced feature set as the obvious reason for this, most notably the controls ready for haptic feedback, with adaptive triggers, as well as reverse tracking and eye tracking, among others. “Game development for PSVR2 requires a completely different approach than the original PSVR,” said Nishino.

To be honest, it would be difficult to name even six memorable titles on the original PSVR. But there’s no denying it’s kind of a disappointment, especially when these games are likely to only appear for a limited time on such specific devices. Although the hottest titles seem to like them Resident Evil 7You will get full support for PSVR2, like games Robinson: The journey where is it golem You may get lost in time if it doesn’t appear on other VR platforms.

If you follow up with Epic backward compatibility On PlayStation platforms, something Xbox has done well may not surprise you. We hope that the forgotten classics for PSVR, whatever they may be, find a way out of the island of unsuitable Sony experiences.
