JAKARTA - Last month, Sony posted on his Twitter and Instagram to confirm that Sony's PlayStation VR2 Headset will be coming in early 2023.

Sony's hardware made its public debut at the Tokyo Game Show this week, and the company revealed several more titles that will come to the platform during Tuesday's State of Play.

The several games currently under development are Star Wars: Tales From The Galaxy's Edge and also Demeo. You can watch more information here:

However, there is also other important information that has just appeared in the latest PlayStation Podcast Official by the PlayStation which says that the PS VR game will not work on PS VR2.

"The PS VR game is not compatible with PS VR2 because PS VR2 is designed to bring the true next-generation VR experience," said senior vice president of the PlayStation platform experience, Hideaki Nishino.

Nishino said that PS VR2 has features that are much more sophisticated, such as, a new controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, in-depth tracking, eye tracking, combined 3D audio, and 4K HDR. "This means game development for PS VR2 requires a completely different approach from the original PS VR," he added.

Given the significant difference between Sony's two hardwarees, Sony wants to provide the best experience for his players, so the old version of the PS VR game cannot be integrated properly in PS VR2.
