Extensive testing was reportedly conducted to ensure good ergonomics, while familiar elements from the first PlayStation VR iteration such as the adjustable headband and scope will return. Of course, there are also several additions, starting with the lens adjustment dial (useful if you’re among those with a non-standard interpupillary distance), a slimmer design, and slightly reduced weight. Furthermore, there’s a new vent to allow for airflow. Yujin Morisawa, Senior Art Director at Sony Interactive Entertainment, explained that this is his favorite part of the PSVR2 design. Sony also confirmed today that PSVR2 development kits are already in the hands of developers. It is unclear whether the PlayStation VR 2 will launch within the current year as per previous rumors, though. While we wait for an official release announcement, here’s a recap of the hardware specifications.
