Sony Won't Confirm Yet if PSVR2's Backwards Compatibility

Sony gave us a much closer look at their next virtual reality headset, PlayStation VR2, earlier this week. Offering 4K HDR, foveated rendering, and an expanded field of view, we don't currently know when exactly it'll launch, or whether its backwards compatible with the original PSVR library.

Speaking in a tweet, Axios journalist Stephen Totilo confirmed he's asked Sony about both of these points, getting a non-committal answer. Specifically, Totilo stated:

Sony Won't Confirm Yet if PSVR2's Backwards Compatibility

For now, we'll have to wait for Sony's next big announcement, event or State of Play stream to know about PSVR 2. We'll keep you informed if and when that happens.
