WeвЂ™ll also have a lot more to share on Fracked right here in July. вЂњWe canвЂ™t talk to future platform support,вЂќ the team added when asked about a possible version for the new PS5 VR headset, вЂњbut we can confirm thereвЂ™s definitely a story on offer here and we think youвЂ™ll be pleasantly surprised by the play-time.вЂќ The game will have enhancements when played through PS5 via backwards compatibility, too. We havenвЂ™t been hands-on with the game yet, but weвЂ™ll be very interested to see how it holds up on the PlayStation Move controllers. Revealed earlier this year, Fracked is a single-player first-person shooter that focuses on agile, explosive combat. The game is due for release this summer on PSVR, so expect a release date thatвЂ™s right around the corner.

'WeвЂ™re not saying anything specific today about any developer support, whether itвЂ™s our own studios or any of our publishing partners,' Ryan said, 'but obviously we will launch our new VR system with appropriate software support.The studio didnвЂ™t offer any more specific dates but, given the very excitable caps, maybe weвЂ™ll hear something in the next few weeks. In an interview with GQ, Sony Interactive president Jim Ryan committed to launching the new device with the proper software. All we do know is that launch games will be coming. What games are coming to PS5 VR?ДЄgain, it's impossible to know at the moment, but one would imagine (or hope) that a new device would be backward compatible with current PS VR games. Sony mentions that controller tracking happens вЂњby the new VR headset,вЂќ so it seems as though a camera wonвЂ™t be needed at all. That means players can say goodbye to the big clown nose of the PS Move. Sony says that the new controllers handle tracking via a ring across the bottom of the controller. Players have to set up a camera, which follows the lights on your PS Move controllers to determine motions. Tracking on a current PS VR is a little cumbersome. This enables you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay,вЂќ says Sony. вЂњThe controller can detect your fingers without any pressing in the areas where you place your thumb, index, or middle fingers. Sony describes the technology in its announcement post. Other features include finger touch detection. That means players will get to experience both haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in VR games. WhatвЂ™s special about the new controllers is that they take borrow features from the PS5вЂ™s DualSense. Like a normal PlayStation controller, these feature four primary face buttons, two joysticks, and four triggers split between the two devices. The black plastic controllers adopt a round design that surrounds the controls themselves. Rather than sticking with the Wiimote-style design of the PlayStation Move, Sony opted for something that more closely resembles the Oculus Touch. What are the new PS5 VR controllers?Дespite the headset being so far away, Sony has already revealed the headsetвЂ™s new controllers. If Sony is going to remain relevant in the space, it'll need to stay about on par with that price range or risk losing early PS VR adopters to Oculus. And that's the price for a standalone VR device with higher resolution and controllers included in the package. Pricing will have to be competitive too, considering that the Oculus Quest 2 costs the same amount as a PS VR now. The selling point of the original PS VR was it's low price point compared to other headsets, so it only makes sense that Sony would take a similar approach. That said, it's likely that Sony will keep the price low. It's too early to say, considering that the headset is still in its early stages of development. For now, players shouldn't expect the headset to drop until 2022 at the earliest. We do know that development kits are about to go out to developers, which is promising. A Februannouncement blog post iterates that Sony is giving players an 'early update' on the device, so it's not clear how deep into development it is right now. Sony didn't provide an exact timetable on when we might expect it, but it did confirm that it won't launch in 2021.
