PlayStation VR Mega Pack (PS4)

Product Information

While writing the PS4 Pro review, we got the chance to try the upgraded hardware with the PlayStation VR and the results were noticeable, if a bit underwhelming in reality.

For now at least, the PlayStation VR is truly different to anything else on the market. While Oculus Rift has closed in on the cost disparity, the PSVR only requires a PS4 console to run, not an expensive PC setup.The Oculus Go doesn't offer the immersive gaming quality the PSVR does. Different story for Oculus Quest 2, though. Go was a good VR intro for many — it's now discontinued — but it doesn't match up.When you think about it, it really is remarkable that the affordable PSVR solution is as capable as it is.It has its problems, but by and large the PlayStation VR proves that not only is console VR viable, it's actually enjoyable, too. There's also another piece of hardware to consider when looking at buying a PlayStation VR, and that's Sony's brand-new, ultra-powered PS4 Pro.With additional processing power, the PS4 Pro is capable of creating an even more immersive virtual reality experience for the games that support it. One of the big advantages that the PS4 has compared to an Xbox One or Nintendo Switch is that it has the option of expanding into full console VR if you want it to (we're not counting the admittedly fun Nintendo Labo VR kit here!). If you want to be specific about it, PlayStation VR can handle 1080p games on its 920 x RGB x 1080 OLED display at either 90Hz (meaning that the image refreshes itself 90 times per second) or at 120Hz depending on the VR game or application. Need a little practice? Give your putting a little polish and master your tee-off at the driving range. And a helping hand is ready to make sure your fairway skills are up to par, with your very own customizable virtual caddie offering hints and tips. PlayStation VR Worlds

Project your PS VR experiences directly to your TV screen with Mirror mode, letting friends and family see what you’re seeing and giving them a window into your virtual world.

There's definitely a distinct difference between PS4 and PS4 Pro versions of VR games. However, it's probably not one that can be spotted by the unwitting non-techie –it's something that you can only spot if you're paying close attention to how certain textures look in-game or how objects look in the distance. Absorb every second of the action through a custom 5.7’ OLED screen with smooth visuals and super low latency. Those numbers are great, but they're matched by both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The one advantage Sony has that neither Oculus nor HTC can claim is that it's actually a world-class game publisher. While the other two have been trying to create connections with developers over the past few years, Sony already has them.
