Is it worth it? - 1

Is it worth getting the PS5 just for VR?

At the moment you don't get the PS5 anyway, so I would wait until the PS5 is somehow available in a VR pack, I already have an Xbox because I'm a big VR fan and I don't want to buy a PC for 1000 euro upwards, I'm of the opinion that I'm very well served with the PS5.

I think it's worth the wait, because the PS5 is a very good console and not just because of VR. It has a lot of power for the price and there will be some games that will only be available on the PS5, some will certainly support VR.

I can believe you only half answer the question.

I bought the PSVR on the day it was released in 2016 and was really impressed. In itself, the PSVR is a great VR glasses with a few technical flaws. When the PSVR2 comes out this year or next, the deficiencies will be fixed, so wait until the newer version is available.

For 500 euro ne PS5 and then possibly another 500 euro for the PSVR2 you are then also at 1000 euro. But when there are more VR games for PlayStation, it can be a good choice.

I switched to PC in 2019 and bought a RiftS (not even the yellow one, the next VR glasses will not be from Oculus) and I have to say that the variety of VR games on the PC is (of course) complete exceeds.

But if you don't have a PC, the PSVR is sure to be a good choice.

As an alternative, you could also buy the standalone VR glasses "Oculus Quest2" abroad *. Disadvantage of this: you absolutely need a Facebook account, it is battery operated, relatively few games.

Advantage: Costs just under 350 euro, you only need the glasses to play, if you have a PC you can also connect them to the PC and play PC VR games.

* PS: Oculus glasses can no longer be bought in Germany because of the Facebook constraint. But you can order them abroad, they work in DE.

I'm not a big fan of Oculus since the FB obsession and the software of the RiftS is total rubbish, but unfortunately the Quest2 is the best standalone VR glasses currently on the market.

Meanwhile, the Quest2 is the number 1 VR glasses on Steam because they caused a boom in the VR market.

No it's not worth it

No, it's not worth it.

What you get from Sony is VR at the lowest level. Not even real 1080p is supported and the game selection is poor.

Investing in a Pcs with VR glasses would be much better.

Or you can get VR glasses that have internal memory.

If I could help you, I would be very happy about a ❤️ "Thank you" and / or a 👍 "Helpful".

Sony is bringing out a new, improved version of their VR glasses and they should apparently be significantly better than the current one.

Nevertheless, the game selection will be quite poor. And in terms of hardware, you will probably not get so good VR due to the outdated hardware of the ps5.
