The one annoying thing about this processing unit is that it requires a dedicated power supply, which is fine in itself, but when you turn the PS4 completely off, the unit remains in a semi-powered state, with a red “off” bar permanently lit.

It also displays the standard PS4 screen in “cinematic” mode, allowing you to play non-VR games or watch movies on a display the size of a movie theatre screen.
It also displays the “social” screen, basically rendering the image you see in VR onto the TV, though at a lower resolution and framerate. Firstly it helps carry out object-based 3D audio processing, which basically means you can pinpoint exactly where noises come from in games – so far, in my experience, it’s made sound design in games brilliant and terrifying. While the processing unit adds no power to the console itself, nor can developers actually program anything into it, it handles a few key functions. The processing unit was a mystery for a long time before Sony revealed what it actually does – and it’s all pretty important stuff.

The whole process took around 30 minutes, feeding a series of HDMI cables from the PS4 to the PSVR processing unit, then to the headset itself. The setup process, to be fair, sounds trickier than it actually is. Having taken a boxed one home and set it up, I’ve discovered the truth: it’s all about cables. So many cables.įor the longest time I believed it was witchcraft that made the PlayStation VR work. In the box is the PlayStation VR headset, a processor unit, an HDMI cable, instruction manuals, a set of in-ear headphones, a lens-cleaning cloth, a demo disc and all the power cables you need. This brings the total cost to £464, which is still cheaper than the Rift headset, with Oculus also charging £189 for its own controllers. However, players will also need to invest in a PlayStation Camera priced at £44.99, and, to enjoy the “full” experience, a couple of PlayStation Move controllers, with a twin pack costing £69 (although you could probably find them for less). Priced at £349.99, it’s significantly cheaper than both the Oculus Rift (£549 without Oculus Touch) and HTC Vive (£759). The headset represents the cheapest of the “big three” on the market and is the only option for console gamers interested in the technology as things stand. Sony has joined the world of virtual reality with PlayStation VR. Check out our PlayStation VR 2 review for more details. The original PSVR will no longer be supported by Sony with first-party titles, so all future major games releases will only launch on the PSVR 2. The PlayStation VR 2 is now avaiable, and we strongly recommend checking it out instead of the original headset reviewed here. Integrated microphone, accelerometer, gyroscopes.
PS4 console desperately needs another USB port to charge all the controllers.Processor unit needs to be unplugged to power down.
