PS5: 8 CONFIRMED Features We Already Know

6. Renewed VR Support

If you were worried that VR's rather middling level of esteem in the gaming world might cause support to drop off, it sounds like that's not the case at all.

Renowned leaker SemiAccurate, who has a history of delivering correct reports on industry tech, reported earlier this year that VR will be "baked in" at the silicon level on the PS5, effectively making it able to play VR content on its own without the need for the cumbersome breakout box that PSVR 1.0 currently requires.

Furthermore, new patent filings suggest that Sony is currently prototyping new VR controllers to replace the awkward, 8-year-old PlayStation Move controllers, and that this controller may be able to detect individual finger movements thanks to an unprecedented camera system.

It's entirely possible the Move 2.0 ends up somewhat different than the patent, but it's abundantly clear that Sony has zero plans of dropping PSVR support for PS5. As such, it's reasonable to expect PSVR 2.0 to land within a few years of PS5's release.
