Little by little Sony is revealing information about PlayStation VR2, a virtual reality viewer that is already in the hands of developers. On this occasion, the Japanese company has shared the first details about the user experience, which among its novelties includes the option of transmission, a new exterior vision and a function that allows configuring the game area so that the case warns in case of get over it. In addition, Sony has commented that “soon” will reveal the launch date of the device.

The first big news of PlayStation VR2 is the new broadcast function, which will allow the user to record themselves while playing by connecting a PS5 HD Camera to the console. “It’s a great way to show off your moves during boss fights and share your reactions with other players in real time,” says Sony. We’ll see how it works on Twitch. As a second outstanding feature we have the new exterior vision function, with which the player will be able to see the environment while wearing the virtual reality headset.

“This option comes in handy when you want to quickly check where you’ve left your PS VR2 Sense controllers without having to take off your headset,” says Sony of the new exterior view. “Thanks to PS VR2’s built-in front-facing cameras, you can press the function button on the headset or use the Control Center Card to switch between viewing the environment or viewing PS VR2 content. The Control Center Card will also give you quick access to other PS VR2 options, such as play area adjustment.”

Keep in mind that the external view is only for viewing, there is no option to record.

PlayStation VR2 will also debut a play area that can be customized using the device’s controllers and built-in cameras. The cameras will allow the room to be scanned, while the controllers will be used to expand and customize the playing area based on the style of play and the room itself. In case of approaching the limit of the game area that has been defined, a warning will be received. The game area can be modified at any time and once defined it will be saved unless the player moves to another room.
