Is Sony’s PS5 on the Verge of Collapse? Will the 600 Euro Gadget Be Its Downfall?

While many gamers enjoy playing on their PlayStation 5, things are very different when it comes to a 600 euro accessory for the console. According to an insider report, Sony is also fed up with the PSVR 2. This could mean an imminent end for the virtual reality glasses.

Will Sony abandon an expensive PS5 gadget?

With the launch of the PlayStation VR2, Sony wanted to own VR offensive Just a year later, however, there were already reports that production was being paused because the virtual reality glasses were gathering dust in department stores. What's even worse is that the development of new games also seems to be stalling.

Android Central cites an insider report, whereas Sony is cutting funding for new VR games. This means that there will be “very few opportunities for VR game development at Sony in the future.” Another source supports this with the information that currently only two games for the PSVR2 are in development by the console manufacturer (source: Android Central).

Can the PC save the PlayStation VR2?

At least in the short term, PlayStation fans can still look forward to new games for the PSVR2. During a State of Play presentation, Skydance's Behemoth and Alien Rogue Incursion were announced, both of which will be released exclusively on the VR headset.

At the same time, Sony also wants to open up the PSVR2 to PC gamers. This could open up a whole new target group for the VR glasses. However, without support in the form of games, the expensive PS5 gadget will probably still have a hard time.
