PSVR 2 – Unity’s GDC 2022 Panel Details Heightened Immersion and Improved Tech

A nearly hour-long GDC 2022 panel by Unity on developing for the upcoming PlayStation VR2 has provided interesting new details on the virtual reality platform.

Sony has been rolling out new details about the upcoming PSVR2 regularly these last few months, and though we haven’t actually seen the headset and its new controller in action so far, some have been lucky enough to do just that. The PSVR2 recently had something of presence at GDC 2022, and part of that has recently emerged, that a full nearly hour-long panel on the new hardware.

The panel, which is currently “Unlisted” on YouTube, was spotted by a Reddit user, and features number of Unity employees talking about developing games for the PSVR2, while also highlighting some of its key features. Heightened immersion and technological improvements seem to be the theme here, with improvements such as foveated rendering, higher resolution, haptic feedback in the headset, an expanded field of view, the new Sense controllers, and more getting highlighted.

As mentioned, the video, though uploaded by Unity’s official YouTube page, is currently unlisted, so it’s unknown if it was meant to be released publicly. Either way, you can watch it in full below.

Recent reports have claimed the PSVR2 will launch sometime in Q1 of 2023- read more on that through here.
