This year, Sony will try to hit the mark with the PlayStation VR2, the new version of its VR headset. While we’ll have to wait to find out if it lives up to expectations, one of the most respected figures on the subject has already shared his first impressions.
We are talking about Palmer Luckey, who this week revealed that he was already able to use Sony’s PSVR2 and did not hesitate to share his opinions on social networks.

Without a doubt, the PlayStation VR2 looks very promising. However, not everything is honey on flakes. Fans claim that its price is excessive. Also, we must remember that it will not be backward compatible, so it will be impossible to play the first PSVR titles in the new version.
But tell us, do you plan to buy this virtual reality device? Do you think it will meet expectations?
