PlayStation VR2 is not compatible with older PSVR titles

PlayStation confirmed that those who owned the original PlayStation VR are out of luck when it comes to upgrading to the new VR headset. PS VR2 is not compatible with PS VR games. This might be a barrier for those hoping for a smooth transition.

In a recent episode of the official PlayStation podcast, Hideaki Nishino spoke about the development of PS VR2 and confirmed that older games won’t be playable on the new headset. According to Nishino, this is due to the more advanced features in the new headset, including its eye-tracking, haptic feedback, and 3D audio. “This means developing games for PSVR2 requires a whole different approach than the original PSVR.”
