PSVR 2 will be available for PS5, but so far Sony has not revealed much about what to expect from the headset itself. Fortunately, we can piece it together from other sources, including a video of Sony's newly announced OLED microdisplay technology.

As part of Sony Technology Day, Sony announced a new type of head-mounted display. It consists of an OLED microdisplay that promises 4K resolution, pixelation-free 3D images, and low latency. In other words, it could be the ideal display for the upcoming PSVR 2 headset.

This class of display would ensure that PSVR 2 does not repeat the same mistakes of its predecessor, which first launched in 2016. Even though virtual reality was still very new, Sony's first headset was quite outdated compared to its Oculus and HTC competitors.

Displays had low resolution and the resulting pixel count was noticeable. Sony also made the mistake of reusing the PS Move motion controller, which used a visible light tracking system. Not only was this controller released in 2010, already six years old at the time, but it also lacked analog sticks.

The PS Move's visible light tracking system, also used in PSVR, relied on the PlayStation Camera being able to see what the user was doing. In other words, motion tracking was basic at best and not as accurate as the infrared tracking employed by other VR systems at the time.

However, with this new display technology, the PSVR 2 could be a hit: the OLED microdisplay has twice as many pixels as the OLED displays found in typical smartphones, and is said to prevent pixelation.

Sony also claims that the low latency input will prevent users from experiencing motion sickness. This is a common complaint from VR users, and any steps taken to prevent this would be a major win for Sony. Especially if they can create a headset that is light enough to be comfortable during long play sessions.

There is no guarantee that Sony will include this display with the PSVR 2 when it launches. However, Sony is already working on the display and has a virtual reality experience in mind, so there is no reason why the PSVR 2 would not take advantage of it.

After all, everything Sony has revealed about the PSVR 2 controller suggests that the company knows how badly it messed up certain aspects of the original headset. If the controller upgrade is any indication, the PSVR 2 should be miles ahead of the original.

We don't know when PSVR 2 will be released, but I personally hope Sony takes its time. This would not only give them time to develop a high quality headset, but it would also give them time to win the PS5 re-release game and get the console.
