Sony Says Original Psvr Games Won T Be Compatible With Psvr2

That’s according to PlayStation’s SVP of platform experience, Hideaki Nishino, speaking in the latest episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast (jump to the 29:10 mark). “PSVR games are not compatible with PSVR2,” he explained in answer to a question from the host, “because PSVR2 is designed to deliver a truly next-generation VR experience”. Elaborating further, Nishino claimed the new elements of the PVSR2 hardware - inside-out tracking and eye-tracking, 3D audio, a 4K HDR display, and its controller with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback - meant “developing games for PSVR2 requires a whole different approach than the original PSVR.” While original PSVR games will still be playable on PS5 via Sony’s previously released adapter, PSVR2 will feature its own line-up of titles, with the likes of Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil 8, No Man’s Sky, Among Us VR, Myst developer Cyan World’s Firmament, and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 - Retribution all currently confirmed. There’s no release date for PSVR2 yet but it’s currently expected to launch next year.
