PlayStation 5 supports the original PSVR (Virtual Reality)
It is now official that the PS5 will support the next level Virtual Reality Gaming. “I won’t go into the details of our VR strategy today beyond saying that VR is very important to us and that the current PSVR headset is compatible with the new console”, said Cerny when asked about the PSVR capabilities. This gives us a sign that a PSVR headset is also set to launch alongside this ability.

As per Cerny, “As a gamer it’s been a little bit of a frustration that audio did not change too much between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. With the next console the dream is to show how dramatically different the audio experience can be when we apply significant amounts of hardware horsepower to it.”

It will come along a CPU based on third generation of AMD’s Ryzen series of processors that will deliver eight cores along with firm’s new 7nm Zen 2 micro-architecture.
