It's amazing how easy the setup process is compared to the multicable project it was with the first PSVR. Gone are the weird cables and breakout boxes there's just the headset with its long cable, a pair of Sense controllers, some earbuds and an USB C-to-A charge cable, also needed to initially sync the controllers to the PS5. The contents of the PlayStation VR 2 may not surprise anyone who's bought a VR headset recently, but it's a big breath of fresh air for anyone who had the original 2016 PlayStation VR. Scott Stein/CNET Inside the box: What the first PSVR should have been Controllers, headset, earbuds and an extra USB-C-to-A cable. Unlike what I'm normally used to in standalone VR gaming, the best PSVR 2 games feel as detailed as PS5 games on my TV. Playing games on the PSVR 2 doesn't just feel like VR - it often feels like a PS5 game has leapt out and surrounded me. I still think the Quest 2 offers more value and freedom of movement for its price, but the PSVR 2 shows glimpses of how good the future could be. But I do know right now that the PSVR 2 is my favorite dedicated VR gaming hardware, even with its tethered cable and limited software. And will a more affordable PS5-PSVR 2 bundle arrive at some point to make this more budget-friendly? The real possibilities of the PSVR 2 still feel untapped, and my big unanswered question is how many original games Sony will unleash to make the most of its potential. There are plenty of games to play already, but few are exclusives - or even new. But, arriving early on in a year that looks full of VR headset competition (such as the Vive XR Elite, Quest 3 and Apple's possible headset), this feels almost like a soft launch.
