PSVR 2

On top of the new games news, there is also news of an actual
new PlayStation VR. A patent for a new PlayStation VR
headset^[8] was recently
discovered by LetsGoDigital.

This may be launched alongside, or just after, the PS5, as
Eurogamer^[9]
reports. The filing is from February 2019 but was only discovered
earlier this week.

Images from the patent filing show a design for a PSVR headset
that includes two front cameras and one camera at the rear.

Another camera is included on a controller that resembles the
one for the PlayStation Move. A microphone will again be
included.

Overall, the new iteration looks very much like the current
version of Playstation VR.
