The video game industry has grown a lot in recent decades and one of the newest technologies is virtual reality (or VR for its acronym in English). PlayStation is one of the companies that has greatly supported this nascent technology, but Meta (formerly Facebook) has also done an incredible job in bringing it to the public beyond gaming and it is something that PlayStation has just recognized.
GI Live 2022 is taking place and it was attended by the head of PlayStation’s indie game support initiative, Shuhei Yoshida, to talk about the next-gen hardware that is on the way and how it will affect the market.

PlayStation praised what Meta has done in virtual reality
Something very interesting is that in his talk the manager took the opportunity to recognize how Meta has promoted the scope of this technology through its hardware brand Meta Quest (formerly Oculus Quest).
“The VR market is small, it’s still growing because Meta is doing a great job promoting the Quest, so more people are coming in and trying VR for the first time, but still, compared to the console game, it’s a subcategory and a growing market,” commented the manager (via Video Games Chronicle).

Yoshida thinks indies will get the most out of PlayStation VR2
Likewise, Yoshida took advantage of the space to mention that the indies will be key in the next phase of virtual reality, since they will be the kind of titles that could take advantage of this technology the most compared to the great triple A productions.
“There are great games like Horizon: Call of the Mountain Y Resident Evil Village and yes, they are amazing, but they are the [desarrolladores] indies who, in my mind, are taking risks because they want to make VR games,” said Yoshida, who says that it is the indies who have been waiting for “the next VR boom.”
