PSVR2 really needs some backwards compatibility with PSVR titles (lemmy.world)

I really want to get the PSVR2 but there seems to be a lack of titles for it. Arizona Sunshine 2 has me interested. But I’d really like to play Skyrim VR, the last time I played that was on the original oculus headset. Other than that a pretty cool tech demo for Horizon and Gran Turismo but that’s it.

If they could backport PSVR2 to work with if Skyrim be was available on PSVR2 even just the ps4 version, it would be enough to justify the set up for me.

What other games do you really want to come to PSVR2?

Unfortunately not, you can play psvr1 games on ps5 with the original psvr but not with psvr2

Wow… just wow… is it because of the hardware? Otherwise it’s a really strange decision.

PSVR1 tracked the DS4 controller via the light on the back, and a few games used the camera directly.

The Move controllers were awful as well. In fact the controllers were the weakest part of PSVR1 by a long way. That and the drifting camera.

I can see why they dropped it as it's a very different headset and controller setup, but it's a shame to lose those some of those games. Be nice if they got updates for PSVR2.

Thank you for the explanation, this makes perfect sense.

And yes, it is a truly a shame… but maybe some of them get a PSVR2 update in the future!

I’m assuming there must be some technical differences between the headsets that make it infeasible to make them work
