The next generation of Virtual Reality gameplay is almost here as Sony discuss their plans to improve PSVR going into their release of PSVR on PS5.

Here's all we know about what Sony has had to say about PSVR and the PS5.

PSVR Coming To PS5

It has been four years since the PSVR system launched on the PS4, offering a "transformative new way to play games" on the console.

Now, Sony is announcing that their popular PSVR system is making it's way to the next-generation of consoles and will appear on the PS5 in the future.

"We’re continuing to innovate with our new VR system so that our fans can continue to enjoy the unique experiences that are synonymous with PlayStation. We’re taking what we’ve learned since launching PS VR on PS4 to develop a next-gen VR system that enhances everything from resolution and field of view to tracking and input. It will connect to PS5 with a single cord to simplify setup and improve ease-of-use, while enabling a high-fidelity visual experience."

Release Date

At the moment, all we know is that the PSVR won't be launching for the PS5 in 2021.

Although this is a shame, it isn't the most surprising information considering this was a pretty unexpected announcement.

In addition to this, the PSVR system didn't release on the PS4 until quite a bit of time later.

New VR Controller

Sony has also confirmed that their new PSVR system will aim to incorporate some of the features available in the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller.

"One of the innovations we’re excited about is our new VR controller, which will incorporate some of the key features found in the DualSense wireless controller, along with a focus on great ergonomics."

Aiming to once-again build a "future-proof" piece of technology, could the PSVR become a leading Virtual Reality platform with a PS5 release?

Although this is all we know, for now, we should expect to hear more about the upcoming PSVR system on the PS5 at some point in the future.
