The Sony PlayStation 4 VR headset is currently one of the most profitable VR products in the business. As such, it’s no wonder that the company would introduce a new set that comes with a few improvements. No details on when it will be released have been revealed so far, but the price will apparently be the same as its older VR headset.
In a new PlayStation blog post containing an FAQ related to the new headset, Sony explains what improvements players can expect. Based on the details on paper, the changes are relatively minor, but they could still make a huge difference in the overall experience.
“The new version, model number CUH-ZVR2, features an updated design that enables the stereo headphone cables to be integrated with the VR headset and a slimmer, streamlined connection cable. There’s also an updated Processor Unit that supports HDR pass through, enabling users to enjoy HDR-compatible PS4 content on a TV without having to disconnect the Processor Unit in between the TV and the PS4 system. This function can be used only when the VR headset is turned off,” the post reads.
For the most part, it would seem that in order to enjoy these extra benefits, customers will have no choice but to get a new unit. With the cables having different designs, users won’t be able to simply swap out processors, Time reports.
It’s been almost a year since the first PS4 VR headset hit the market and surpassed 1 million units sold. It’s nowhere near what the main PS4 console has been able to achieve, in terms of sheer sales numbers, but it’s still huge for a VR headset.
With regards to VR content, there have been no details revealed as to what Sony has planned. For now, it can be assumed that the company has not yet given up on it.
