Sony have confirmed the details of the upcoming PlayStation VR. The system, which will work in conjunction with PlayStation 4, will be available to buy from October 2016. Priced at £349.99, the system will include a free download of Playroom VR for players to get started with VR gaming.
Sony also confirmed the system would have a ‘Cinematic’ mode, using the included processor unit to show off films and 360-degree photos on a 225-inch virtual screen. While the ‘Social Screen’ mode will allow users to project what they see onto a television so that others can join in with the experience.
PlayStation VR currently has over 160 games in development – including Battlezone, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood and EVE: Valkyrie – and is looking to release 50 titles before the end of this year.
PlayStation VR is available for pre-order now via GAME and Amazon at £349.99 with a scheduled October release. Watch a trailer for Playroom VR below.
