The Oculus Quest 2 boasts a treasure trove of VR content. Explore different genres, from adrenaline-pumping adventures to zen-like experiences, for a gaming experience tailored to your taste. To do that, all you need to do is launch a non-VR game or app on PS5, then use a standard PS5 controller to play (unfortunately the Sense controllers won’t work for regular content because they don’t have all of the same buttons and controls as a regular controller). Some non-game apps may work with the Sense controllers for simple navigation however. Clear your gaming area of any potential hazards to ensure a safe and free-flowing virtual adventure.

PSVR 2 is a pretty straightforward headset thanks to the fact that once you plug it into the console you’ll see the usual PS5 menu that you’re already used to. However, the headset does have a few less obvious capabilities that you’ll want to know about. 1. Voice InputTake the cord and turn it in the other direction so the plastic connector end points towards the ring sensor.

The PSVR 2 controllers also have finger touch detection, allowing the controllers to detect where your fingers are without having to press a button. “This enables you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay,” says Hideaki Nishino, head of platform planning and management at PlayStation. You’ll be prompted to run the calibration initially when you set up your headset for the first time, but since you put the headset on a bit differently every time (and sometimes the lenses can get bumped which adjusts their spacing) it’s worth running the calibration every few sessions to make sure you’re seeing the clearest image through the headset. You should also run the calibration step any time a new person puts on the headset so they can get the ideal fit. Beyond liberating your controllers, consider these additional tweaks to elevate your gaming experience: Right beside the loop, you’ll spot a small release button. It’s usually a different hue or bears an icon denoting its purpose. Step 3: Pressing the Release ButtonTo make the button on PSVR 2 mute the microphone, go to Settings > Accessories > PlayStation VR2 > VR Headset section > Function Button Assignment, then switch it to Mute Microphone. The PSVR 2 sense controllers look to improve immersion with significant new features, similar to what we've seen in the DualSense, which were absent from the PS Move controllers. Thanks to the adaptive triggers, we can expect Sense to add palatable tension when pressed. So, for example, when drawing a bow in a game, you should feel the string's tension in the trigger, feeling more realistic. Hygiene First: Cleanliness is next to gaming-ness! Removing the wrist straps allows you to thoroughly clean every nook and cranny of your controllers. Yes, they are. The Oculus Quest 2 was renamed the Meta Quest 2 last year, when Facebook decided to rebrand as Meta. They are the same product in all but name. Can you connect the Meta Quest 2 to a PC?
