Sony’s PSVR2 was announced a few months ago, with more details and specifications set to be revealed at CES 2022. There was no official release date given, but according to reports, Sony hopes to have it out by the end of the year. There have been a number of design changes to the PSVR2 to make it a much more comfortable experience for users. The PSVR2 is significantly lighter than its predecessor, and it features a newly added vent that improves overall airflow in the headset. The controllers, on the other hand, have finger detection technology that allows players to send inputs without pressing any buttons.
Zuby Tech mentions an upcoming controller on Twitter. This patent is for a strapped controller, which means that the controller will be secured by a belt while playing. Unfortunately, no one knows why this strap is in place, but some fans have come up with some educated theories.
According to one theory, Sony is working on something similar to Valve’s Index Knuckles. This controller enables players to grip it when picking up objects in the game, resulting in a much more realistic experience. What’s interesting is that the design on the patent differs significantly from what we’ve seen, so there’s no way of knowing for sure what this controller is for. It’s possible that this is just a prototype of the PSVR2 controller, and the render shown earlier is the final version. Whatever the case may be, we should learn more about PSVR2 in the near future as more information becomes available.
