I regret buying the PlayStation VR2


It seems like Sony is giving up on the platform, and so am I.

The price tag stung — I preordered the $599 bundle with Horizon — but I figured I’d get my money’s worth by finally tackling some VR classics like Pistol Whip alongside new PSVR 2 titles. The Verge nerd in me was impressed by the tech: I was champing at the bit to bask in 4K games on the PSVR 2’s dual OLED displays and see how developers might use eye tracking to create new ways to play. It insists on forcing PC players to use PSN accounts for single-player games even after dropping that planned requirement for Helldivers 2 following backlash — the better to funnel you toward a future console purchase.
