No Extra Junction Boxes/ Simpler Setup
Things PSVR 2 Needs to Succeed
I’ll be honest. I haven’t touched my PlayStation VR in years. It’s not for a lack of games, nor that I don’t have the space to use it, but that I can’t be bothered unfurling the spaghetti junction of wires that currently shrouds the headset in the original box.
Just the thought of having to go rummaging around the back of my media center for power cables, HDMIs, micro USB ports and adding in the adapter for the PS5 immediately quells any urges I have to set the thing up. I’ll just go and grab my Quest 2 if I’ve got the urge to slice up some shapes. Where I can just slide the thing over my face and immediately be ready to go.
While Sony has revealed at CES 2022 that the PSVR 2 will have just one single cord, it hasn’t revealed where that cord will plug into. Will it be another junction box, which itself has to be connected to the PS5? Where will this single cord plug into, and will it make players want to tear their hair out every time they want to set the VR headset up again?
While the single cord detail does suggest that things aren’t going to be half as cumbersome as they were when setting up the original PSVR, we’re still missing some key details on how things will connect to our PS5s. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait much longer to get to the bottom of things.
