- At CES 2023, Sony announced that Beat Saber is coming to PS VR2.

Beat Saber is the first game that comes to mind when you hear the word VR. The game, unlike most others, is synonymous with VR, but it wasn’t confirmed until Sony’s CES 2023 conference that the game would be coming to his next-generation PlayStation VR.
Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, took the stage at CES to announce the game, but didn’t go into too much detail about pricing, release date, and other questions that came to mind. If you already own the original PS VR version of the game, hopefully you’ll be able to upgrade for free. (opens in new tab) Game version, no guarantees at this time.

It’s been confirmed that Beat Saber won’t be the launch title for PS VR2, just a month after PS VR2’s release, but it’s at least confirmed to be in the near future. No, but it’s important to note that Beat Games, developer of Beat Saber, is owned by Meta. Yes, it’s the same company that made the Oculus Quest 2. (opens in new tab).
So far, the studio has continued to support games on all platforms since Meta acquired Beat Games in 2019, and as this release shows, it’s expanding its support for games beyond the Meta platform. It continues… This is good news for the VR industry as a whole.
Next-gen VR is just around the corner! PlayStation VR2 delivers a new level of visual fidelity never before seen in VR, including a 4K HDR display, next-generation haptics for headsets and controllers, adaptive triggers, and inside-out tracking.
