“PSVR games are not compatible with PSVR2 because PSVR2 is designed to deliver a truly next-generation VR experience,” said Hideaki Nishino, senior vice president of platform experience at PlayStation, in an interview on the Official PlayStation Podcast published on Friday. Nishino went on to mention what he described as PSVR2’s “much more advanced features” compared to PSVR, such as inside-out tracking, eye tracking, 4K HDR support, and a new controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. “This means that developing games for PSVR2 requires a completely different approach than the original PSVR,” Nishino said. We’ve reached out to Sony for more information. In the PSVR2 talk so far, Sony has focused on games in development for the new hardware: No Man’s Sky: PlayStation VR2, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution, Resident Evil Village, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition and Horizon Call of the Mountain. PSVR2 was announced in January, and the system is scheduled to debut in early 2023. Sony is preparing 20 “significant” games for the launch, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan.
