Oculus founder Palmer Luckey has revealed he was “blown away” by Sony’s upcoming PlayStation VR 2 virtual reality headset.<\/p>\n

Replying to a tweet from head of PlayStation Indies Shuhei Yoshida (below), Luckey said he’d had the chance to try the new headset recently and has high expectations for its future.<\/p>\n

“I was blown away when I used PSVR 2 recently,” he said. “The first PSVR was arguably the biggest success of the generation, [and] this version will do even better.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PlayStation VR 2 will seemingly be a major upgrade over the original headset, not just because it’s being released seven years later, but due to the inclusion of brand new VR specific controllers.<\/p>\n

The upgrade in tech has naturally created an increase in price, however, as where the original PSVR was the best “budget” headset on the market, Sony’s latest costs a hefty $549.99 – $50 more than the required PlayStation 5 console itself.<\/p>\n

A Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle will also be available from launch on February 22 for another $50, though users can still buy it separately alongside the other 20-something launch games.<\/p>\n
