This is the channel who leaked info. about the PSVR2 hardware last year.
Good to see! Hopefully they're free upgrades. Now the question is if Meta will allow Beat Saber on PSVR2?
I believe it.
PSVR(2) Without Parole leaked:
The exact PSVR2 hardware details.
Early 2023 release.

This sounds that it's the only way in order to play the older games on the new hardware. Which is sad.
Makes sense.
VR games are limited by the hardware requirements so it makes a tonne of sense for smaller/mid studios to adapt their older games to get some extra revenue.

Any day now with the Showcase Sony....Maybe they can right the ship of this slow moving car crash leading up to the launch of PSVR2.
I would expect as much given the news PSVR2 isn't compatible. I'll reserve judgement on the games being remade until it's known if they're free upgrades, have an upgrade path, or will be full priced new releases.
Probably a game by game basis but just wild if people end up having to pay full RRP again on top of expensive hardware, even for a luxury product.

Yeah I'm skeptical. Seems like exactly the game that they'd want to keep on Meta Quest. Also, have we had any experience with them releasing any of their other games on PSVR?
The control and tracking mechanics are totally different to each other so it would make sense that they would need to be patched instead of a blanket solution.
im sure some will be free, some will have an upgrade fee, and some you'll just have to outright buy again
Depends on how the systems are designed. From what I understand, SteamVR allows for games to work with all types of different tracking methods.
Resident Evil 7 VR but this time with proper virtualized hands and world interactivity, would be cool.
Probably easier for Valve since they already have to deal with so many variables in terms of hardware etc.
But different for something like a console.
Man, Astro in high res HDR and without the VR1 grayness/vaseline and wonky tracking would be amazing
And development of games on PC are not as low a level you can get on console and I'm sure all the complicated stuff for PSVR just connect up it was also part of how their API was first done.
I know.
Which is why I'll probably have to keep my old PSVR.
EDIT:
Oh, hadn't seen the other thread where no backwards compatibility was confirmed. :(
Don't think so. Oculus' other games like Lone Echo and Asgard's Wrath are exclusive to Oculus platforms.
I can see them maybe working on a PSVR2 version of Beat Saber, but based on their track record, that's a big maybe. I think they probably won't.

I guess Sony will leave the decision up to devs/publishers. Could work pretty much how the PS4 to PS5 upgrade works for games.
Wonderful.
Sony will surely let the devs/pubs decide whether these games are free upgrades or not. As for the first-party stuff, well… they offered some free upgrades for PS4 games on PS5 so there is a chance they will do the same here as a good will measure early on. For now, wonderful news.

I don't have a PSVR but as it's console-tethered, I assume the game version is built to the platform specifications, whereas on Steam - like with all PC games - it comes with a variety of settings/inputs, making it easier to encompass multiple tracking methods. In that case, I'd imagine any PSVR game that also has a PC port, would need to patch it for PSVR2, and it should be relatively easy as they've already done it for PC?
These will be new games to >75% of PSVR2 owners I'd bet. And the PSVR owners they aren't new to are hardcore users that will gladly double-dip.
You two are kidding, but I'd totally pay full price for a well-made port of Skyrim VR taking advantage of the hardware of PSVR2. Make it happen, Todd Howard.
Despite everyone's jeering this is the only way it works. Unless Sony published a game they don't set game prices.
It's the one thing I'm bummed about with Bethesda being under MS, not sure if there will be efforts for a PSVR2 version.
That 14% stake in FS is purely to fund a PSVR2 port of Déraciné
To be fair they still released a PS5 version of the flat game, so it's still possible IMHO.
I don't know if Bethesda will do that now that MS owns them. But even if they did, it'd be worth it to get a version that is not heavily restricted by the PS4 hardware and the Move wands. I very much doubt it will get a free upgrade though.
In most cases though, for high profile evergreens like Superhot, Moss, Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, Job Simulator and Keep Talking, I expect devs will want to upgrade just so they can keep selling on the new platform, just like they've been making new editions of games across at least three different VR platforms already (PCVR, PSVR and Oculus standalones), so it wouldn't make sense to be greedy and charge a fee for their early adopters. And I expect Sony to take care of games like Astro Bot, Iron Man and Wipeout. Surely some games here and there will be left behind, but I expect most notable games are going to be fine.
Yeah I'm not writing it off entirely, it's just less chance than prior. Along with any other VR focused efforts is all.
