The PSVR2 sense controller can be charged via a simple click-in design without needing the players to connect to a PS5 console.

Sony PSVR2: Price, Availability, Pre-order details

The Sony PSVR2 is priced at $549.99 which means around 45,000 INR. The additional sense controller charging station is priced at $49 which means roughly Rs. 4000.

The pre-orders for the Sony PSVR 2 will begin on November 15 and you can place the order via Sony’s PlayStation online store. The games for PSVR2 that are currently in development like No man’s sky, Demeo Star Wars, Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, and more will also be available for pre-order later this month.

Sony PSVR2 Features

PSVR2 was revealed last year by the company and Sony claims that it will take virtual reality gaming to an entirely new level with key features like headset feedback, eye tracking, 3D audio, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback from PS VR2 sense controllers. It is a massive upgrade over the original PSVR that came out in 2016. It comes with about 4 times the pixel count of its predecessor which means the images will appear more vivid and sharp than the ones in PSVR. The field of view has also been increased to 110 degrees which means a wider viewing area.

The upcoming PSVR2 will offer 4K resolution, HDR, foveated rendering, and frame rates of 90 to 120Hz. The headset also includes inside-out tracking that tracks you and your controllers through four cameras equipped in the headset. Your movements and the direction of your look will be reflected in the game without the need for an external camera.
