PS5 Pro will also enhance PSVR2 games, according to Mark Cerny
The VR headset will benefit from the $700 console’s AI upscaling
Sony’s just-announced PlayStation 5 Pro console will also offer performance improvements for PlayStation VR2 games.
That’s according to architect Mark Cerny, who told Cnet that the $700 console’s improved GPU power will allow for higher-resolution games on PSVR 2.
Eventually, PS5 Pro’s AI-assisted upscaling mode, called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, will also work on PSVR 2 games in the future, according to Cerny.
At the time of publishing, no specific PSVR 2 upgraded games have been announced and it’s not clear what kinds of improvements developers would make.
PS5 Pro will launch on November 7, 2024, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $699.99 / £699.99 / €799.99 / ¥119,980.
According to a report earlier this year, Sony had paused production of PlayStation VR2, just one year after launch, so that it could deal with a backlog of unsold units.
PlayStation VR2 was released in February 2023 at a price of $549.99 / £529.99, but Sony has still yet to officially confirm how many units it has sold to date.
The PlayStation VR2 is getting PC support next month. The PlayStation VR2 headset PC adapter will be required.
