We know that the PSVR (PlayStation 4 VR headset) is compatible with the PS5, but is Sony developing something bigger and better for its next console? According to a new job posting from Japan's Sony Corporation, Sony is indeed developing a new VR headset.

Below is the job posting as translated by Edge's built-in translation." We are developing a head-mounted display for the next generation of VR, and I am responsible for the mechanical design of the optical tube that supports the optical system and the small, lightweight housing, heat dissipation design, and the development of jigs for evaluating the optical system."

So you are saying this is for PSVR 2? Well, it could be. The job ad is not for PlayStation-specific Sony Interactive Entertainment, but for the broader Sony Corporation (the job ad specifically states that the job involves work for the entire Sony Group), and another part of the job ad states that the project " . looking at five years."

As Upload VR points out, the ad may be referring to a headset that could be released in five years, or a device released five years after the original PSVR was released in 2016.

Another possibility is that Sony is working on a standalone VR headset like the Oculus Quest (a VR headset that can be used without wires) The Oculus Quest 2 is currently in development and could be released as early as September The Oculus Quest 2 is reportedly in development and could be released as early as September.

Anyway, Sony's PSVR 2 may still be in development. What this list means is that Sony is committed to VR in general terms. And given that PSVR has sold over 5 million units on PS4, it would seem a bit odd that Sony is working on a new VR product without considering its impact on PS5.
