PSVR
2
owners
will
be
in
good
hands
with
the
PS5
Pro
it
seems,
as
was
confirmed
by
Sony’s
Mark
Cerny.
Chatting
to
Cnet,
the
PS5
Pro’s
lead
system
architect
confirmed
that
because
of
the
mid-gen
console’s
improved
GPU,
PSVR
2
games
should
benefit
greatly.
Cerny
specifically
outlines
improvements
to
resolution
and
the
use
of
“Sony‘s
AI
upscaling
that
will
work
with
all
VR
games.”
Presumably,
this
means
that
PS5
Pro’s
bespoke
PlayStation
Spectral
Super
Resolution
(or
PSSR
for
short)
as
outlined
in
the
PS5
Pro
specs
will
play
a
part
here.
Cerny
didn’t
mention
any
specific
PSVR
2
games
here
or
during
the
PS5
Pro
Technical
Presentation,
though
it’s
easy
to
imagine
marquee
titles
like
Horizon:
Call
of
the
Mountain,
Gran
Turismo
7,
and
Resident
Evil
4
VR
all
benefiting
from
the
upgraded
console.
It’s
something
of
a
relief
to
see
that
PSVR
2
hasn’t
been
forgotten
in
the
PS5
Pro
mix.
And
rightly
so;
that’s
a
$549
/
£529
VR
headset
and
what’s
about
to
be
a
$699.99
/
£699.99
console.
If
I’m
investing
that
much
into
the
PlayStation
5
ecosystem,
I’d
hope
that
all
the
devices
benefit
each
other
when
it
comes
to
performance
improvements.
As
for
the
PSVR
2
specs,
the
headset
supports
a
per-panel
resolution
of
2,000
x
2,040.
Could
PS5
Pro’s
AI-powered
upscaling
boost
that
closer
to
4K?
That
remains
to
be
seen,
but
definitely
seems
doable
given
the
console’s
substantial
leap
in
power.
PS5
Pro
launches
on
November
7,
with
PS5
Pro
pre-orders
opening
up
on
September
26.
You’ll
be
able
to
place
one
most
reliably
at
PlayStation
Direct,
but
it’s
likely
there
will
be
stock
at
other
big
box
retailers
too.
