This is not news from insiders or rumors: Sony has put pen to paper that the Interactive Entertainment (SIE) division will seriously pursue its commitment to the development of PlayStation VR, also and above all with PS5. In fact, in its recent Corporate Report, The company said it intends to further promote user engagement in the coming years, and one of the ways it will do so is by innovating the virtual reality experience.
SIE plans to deliver content for a variety of game genres and formats and to make progress in unique and engaging interactive experiences such as virtual reality. More emphasis will be placed on user engagement.
Sony's focus on VR prospects has been one of the most successful experiments in the PS4 era, engaging millions of users. Well-made titles such as ASTRO BOT: Rescue Mission and Resident Evil 7, just to name a couple, demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale technology at a sustainable cost.
Support will therefore continue with PS5 as well. Hitman 3, for example, will be fully playable in VR on PS4 and PS5, and similarly it should also happen for the next Resident Evil Village. However, no substantial news has been leaked from Sony on what improvements we could expect from a new PlayStation VR. However, we know that some patents have indicated changes to the controller, stereoscopic 3D and wireless earphones.
Certainly those who branded VR technology as a reality destined to remain a niche will have something to think about. The next-gen, like it or not, will also mark a turning point in the way everyone approaches their favorite videogames. The virtual reality experience will certainly be the protagonist.
