In total, I counted something like 32 games, which is ok to start with, but then Sony should be fast in collecting more content to not make the PSVR2 players get bored fast for the lack of playable games. But still, the fact that all the PSVR 1 content won’t be available for the new headset gives Sony a good challenge on the content side.
The XRA is an industry organization founded by Google , HTC VIVE , Microsoft , Oculus , and Sony Interactive Entertainment. For example, the last time we covered one of their reports it was an industry survey with Perkins Coie.
These are huge numbers for VR: if you look at the most recent SteamVR survey, you get that Oculus headsets are now at 67% of the whole PCVR market. Sony acquires Bungie and thinks about Capcom. More info (Sony acquires Bungie) More info (Sony may acquire Capcom). It’s basically a monopoly. Record VR games in VR format.
Picking up where we left off last week , how does the latest round of consumer VR survey data align with what we’re seeing in the broader market? For one, many of the consumer sentiments this survey round (Wave III) support the industry’s evolution towards standalone headsets. Here, Oculus Quest is the wild card.
PSVR 2 may have inside-out tracking. This week Sony has showcased the new DualShock controller for the PS5, dubbed DualSens. Road To VR has made its usual interesting analysis on the Steam Hardware Survey. It is white, it is elegant, and it features a blue light that goes from the back of the device to its top face.

The biggest news of the week is the one that you can see in the above graph: i n the Steam Hardware Survey for April, it is possible to see a big spike of connected headsets. More info (Steam Hardware Survey) More info (Facebook’s revenues for Q1 2020) More info (Quest and Rift S stock, updated) More info (SuperData’s report).
But when you talk about hand-tracking, there’s nowhere those sorts of games can come from,” Rubin said. ” SEE ALSO Survey: 78% of AR/VR Developers Not Planning Platform-exclusive Content. There are games that work ok like Project Cars for controller. That’s the only way these systems work.”
You can see the success of the Quest everywhere: in a GDC survey, most VR developers say that they are developing content for the Quest. Its sentence mimics a statement from PlayStation about the upcoming PSVR2, so it seems that now Facebook sees Sony as the only credible competitor. Quest 2 handstracking gets 60Hz update.
The headset has a very nice design and features these specifications: Standalone 6DOF headset 1600×1600 resolution per eye 90Hz refresh rate 90° FOV RGB AR passthrough Innovative lenses that make the headset more compact Integrated audio Controller-free hand-tracking Eye-tracking 6GB of RAM 128GB of storage WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.0,
So many developers could find themselves with the conundrum of what to offer and to which device : if the Quest 3 Lite will sell a lot of units, maybe developers will prefer to develop content that is compatible with handtracking, shifting the current attention to games to something else.
The most interesting ones for me are related to hand tacking. Meta Quest will receive HandTracking 2.2, which makes the handtracking more responsive to fast movements of hands : the system can so track the hands also when the user is playing fitness games like FitXR (or HitMotion: Reloaded).
Elsewhere, Sony demoed PlayStation VR2 handtracking , Quest 3S appeared on the SteamVR hardware survey , and we learned more about Xreal One. Our weekly newsletter and latest articles have the full details. For everything else, here are a few stories we initially missed.
