The only issue is that the price tag tends to rise as a result.
So what does that leave you with?
Well, it leaves you in the more than capable hands of thePlayStation VR2andMeta Quest 2.
These two headsets still deliver great quality but at a fraction of the price.
Of course, that leaves us with one burning question.
Which is the better VR headset?
That’s where we come in.
In this comparison, we determine which VR headset is better: the PlayStation VR2 or Meta Quest 2.
How will we do this?
But first, let’s meet the two candidates competing today.
What is PlayStation VR2?
The PlayStation VR2 is PlayStation’s second-generation virtual reality headset, that works in tandem with the PS5.
That means, it is not a standalone headset and requires the PS5 to function properly.
Nonetheless, it is state of the art, releasing this year on February 22, 2023.
Of course, included with the headset itself are the PS VR2 Sense controllers and stereo headphones.
What is Meta Quest 2?
The Meta Quest 2, on the other hand, is an all-in-one, standalone VR headset.
Meaning, you don’t need any exterior hardware for it to function.
Included with it, are the Two Touch Controllers.
Furthermore, the faster the refresh rate, the higher the FPS and smoother your image will appear.
Looking at the numbers, we would have to say that the PS VR2 is the better VR headset.
It will include more indie titles and the majority of major VR releases unless they are exclusive.
These are some of the best VR games to date, and they are only available on PS VR2.
The catch, of course, is that the PS VR2 requires a PlayStation 5.
The answer really boils down to personal preference and whether or not you own a PS5.
If you do, we see no reason why you shouldn’t go with the PS VR2.
It has a higher refresh rate and resolution.
Furthermore, it has top-notch exclusives, which are some of the best VR games around currently.
It’s also worth noting that many PS5 games are now also compatible with PS VR2.
As a result, you have more options for how you want to play.
If you don’t have a PS5, however, the Meta Quest 2 is the better option.
It’s convenient for anyone who is new to or exploring VR for the first time.
What’s more, it too, has some great games and shares many titles with the PS VR2.
It’s just those pesky little exclusives the PS VR2 is running away with.
It all comes down to your gaming setup and personal preferences.
