Customer Ratings & Reviews

The PSVR2 is… fine, I guess. The visuals are pretty good, and the headset feels lighter than the old one, but nothing about it really blew me away. Some games look sharp, others still feel kind of blurry, and the cable can be annoying even though it’s “just one.” The haptic feedback is cool when it works, but not every game uses it well, so sometimes it just feels inconsistent. Overall, it’s a solid upgrade, but not something that made me feel like VR has suddenly leveled up. If you already have a capable VR setup, it’s hard to say the PSVR2 is a must-buy

The PSVR2 is a great experience and has a feature that even the Quest 3 doesn't have which is eye tracking. I don't really know what it does for games such as Resident Evil 4 and 8 since I've never seen any use out of it but it's cool that it's there. To me the biggest downside to the PSVR2 is the lackluster amount of games and that the entire PSVR1 lineup are somehow not compatible with the PSVR2. I dont know what is PlayStation's beef with backwards compatibility. If you have The Walking Dead saints and sinners for PSVR1, you will need to repurchase the game meanwhile from Quest 2 to Quest 3, the game is backwards compatible and performs better at no additional cost. If you wanted to play Resident Evil 7 vr, you either have to buy an original PSVR or repurchase it on PC where you can use a free mod to use your other VR systems to play your PCVR games since it is a hassle to set up the PSVR2 to your PC. Other than that, would I recommend buying? No. If you know a friend that has a one, just play theirs since they're most likely not making use of it.

I wanted to love this, but just not for me. Ended up returning it. Graphics look great, sweet spot isn't the best. If you are moving around it can fog up and the cord gets to be annoying as well. Controllers don't hold a great charge either so there's some work to be done. The AAA games made me nauseous and dizzy. Arcade demos were a ton of fun and didn't get nauseous but not going to keep for some arcade games. Overall a great deal for $350 if you are into VR.

The PSVR2 is a five star product when its working correctly. The cost is high so I know it isnt for everyone but I think its the best VR experience that I have tried. Its better than the VR businesses that strap on the computer backpacks. Problem 1: the controllers would flip face buttons between the left and right controllers. A TON of people have experiences this issue. There is a method of blowing into the triggers or flicking them that seems to works well. This was not a known solution when I purchased the aet so I had to return it. It was the only thing that my daughter asked for dor Christmas and it was sold out everywhere so I had to wait 3 days to get a new one. The PS5 OS has no diagnostics for controllers (unlike the Switch) which makes it difficult to look up a solution. Problem 2: Best Buy did not add any cushion to the replacement box that they sent me and it was shaken around like crazy. The box was damaged and the headset would not power on. The USBC cable was disconnected at the headset (hidden inside when you pull the face visor out). It must have shaken lose when the package was thrown or kicked from storage to plane to truck. Neither of these issues should exist in a 600 dollar product. My dad experience with the PSVR2 is zero stars. My daughters experience is 5 stars, so I am splitting the difference.

Top of the line hardware and comfortability. When paired with a Sony first party experience, it’s the best you can get in VR gaming. The problem is that there’s a serious lack of titles that fit this description. Most are 3rd party games that dont use a lot of the features included in this upgrade from the PSVR1. Speaking of which, if you bought into the PSVR1 ecosystem and games catalog at all, you’ll find that almost none of those games are compatible with PSVR2. So I recommend keeping the PSVR1 for access to those titles.. If you have a decent PC gaming rig (I do not) you can get the PC adapter which really unlocks the headset’s potential… if you can get your Bluetooth connections to work flawlessly. Most people report headset or controller connection issues that really take you out of the experience. But people who can get it to work, say it’s the best headset for the price!

The PSVR2 really is a great VR headset on the surface, and at the price I got it for, it should’ve been nothing less than a steal. And maybe that holds up if you’re primarily playing on PS5! But in my experience playing mainly on my PC, it feels more like a half baked headset that makes me want to go back to my Quest 2. On PS5, you get built in and accurate eye tracking, admittedly gorgeous HDR, and most importantly, your controllers actually work! Now, when you spend the 75 dollars required to use this thing on a PC unless you happen to have a graphics card with the right port, you lose all of those features they advertise so relentlessly. Most damning of all for me, however, is the fact the controllers just don’t work on PC! Forget playing a rhythm game like Beat Saber, because your arm will go flying off into the distance out of nowhere every other minute, for up to 30 seconds in my experience. Playing a shooter game? Forget that, you’ll be able to shoot, but your aim will be non existent. It’s really these essential features being dumbed down, removed, or outright just broken that really kills this headset for me. The stars I give it are for the great experience you can find on a PS5, and I’ll admit that I enjoyed my time there, but the continued trend of lackluster PC support from Sony has to die. It feels more like an insult than anything else, and for the cost of the headset on sale and the adapter, you should look into the Quest 3 if you plan on going for PCVR.

Overall this Vr is ok. Dissapointing that it needs ti be wired for use. Virtual experience is Good, but can create feelings of dizziness. Our mega Vr set does not casue thus type of feeling. My son used this Vr for about a month, and it has been gathering dust since. The need to be wired is the biggest disappointment/ challenge. Aling wth bery limited game options.

Upon putting and turning on the headset for the first time, the higher quality OLED screen immediately stands out however the selection of VR games is disappointing. You can play non-VR titles using the headset as a giant display which is a plus. The headset apparently doesn't support spatial/360 videos ("apparently" because I didn't try). I found it to be clunky, uncomfortable to wear, the tethered cord is a safety concern and detracts from the immersion. Sony is my favorite brand for electronics, and Playstation has always been my go-to gaming brand, but this product is a miss. I did end up returning it and getting a Meta Quest 3.

Purchased PS VR2 for my daughter as a christmas gift. Worked perfectly for the first 4 days. Was amazed at how great the experience and graffics are. Unfortunately, on day 5, both controllers started to give us issues. It would not work. I tried resetting the controllers and then spoke with the playstation support teams, which told me that since I had it for less than a week to go and get an exchange where I bought it from. Came to Best Buy to get an exchange, but I could not get one saying it was out of stock, so i had to get a refund. I looked ok online same day and it allows me to order it for the same discount deal i bought it for, but I did not receive the refund since it takes few days and I did not have the extra money to pay for it right then. Now it is the next day, and there is no longer a discounted price . Now, I am really debating if spending the full 600$ is even worth getting because I see a lot of people complaining about the controllers. I really like it but dont want to buy one, especially for that price, just for me to have the same repeated problem

Not exactly what I wanted, needs more titles to be good. You can buy an attachment to use with a PC so it’s versatile if you choose to go that route but I don’t want to invest more money. I see its value if you’re getting the Car wheel and are able to play Steam games on it but on its own it didn’t really entertain me. If you plan on using it for the current available games then it’s definitely worth it, otherwise spend your money on something else!

I had a known issue where the left and right controller's buttons were swapped when trying to play Horizon, not allowing me to start the game. I had to get a small pin and reset each controller EVERY time i wanted to play. The experience when it was working was great but had a hard time justifying $600 for a piece of hardware from one of the biggest electronics company that didn't work properly out of the box.

The left controller would not work in any game but would work fine out of game. Spent a day trying to figure it out and gave up. But games did look amazing with the Oled lenses.

Vr2 gives a life like experience. Amazing graphics. The only issue I have is there are very limited game selections.

Nothing great. PlayStation kind of abandoned the VR space, so there’s not a lot out there to play that’s worth playing in my opinion. The controllers are pretty uncomfortable for anyone with larger hands. Each controller requires its own USB-C charging cable, so unless you get the stand (a separate $50), get ready to take up some space on your power strip and hope that you have two charging bricks that’ll be compatible. Overall, I think for some people it’ll be a lot of fun, but I’m probably going to return it. Oh, and don’t forget, if you’re prone to motion sickness, this ain’t the product for you. Would give it a 2.5/5

Call of the mountain was great but there's just not enough high quality exclusive games to justify the cost. Stick with a Quest 3

That’s very good, but I do not recommend that the wire it gets strapped a lot and it doesn’t have a lot of games

Unfortunately the resolution and focus area was terrible. Very pixelated. Tried all suggested steps and settings. Did not face resolution or focus issues on my Meta quest3s. This VR2 resolution was so terrible that it was causing headache in few mins as my eyes had to strain extra hard to focus on the scene. Connected with both my PS5s but same issue. Unhappily had to return the unit.

Truly, it’s a lot of work and not worth it. If you have prescription glasses, you should get contacts… get a charger base because the controls always need to charge. If you want to play with another person, you have to go completely out of the games and reset so they can have the zone established around them. It’s a lot work, I don’t think it’s necessarily worth it unless VR is really your thing.

Headset is not wireless and not many options for games.

Ok but NOT backwards compatible with PS VR Gen 1. This was a huge downside for me thus why I returned it. There are some great PS VR games but with out backwards compatibility. I see no reason to keep it.
