VIRTUAL REALITY
Whether you’re after an all-in-one device or want to connect to beefier hardware, here are the finest VR headsets of 2023
PLAYSTATION VR2
You could call this the first true next-gen headset, simply down to the PS5 console that powers it. But that would be underselling the PSVR2’s own strengths.
Compared with Sony’s first stab at VR in 2016, version 2 is an enormous leap. Right out of the box (which you should keep, by the way, as a decent way to store the headset), it’s a much smoother setup, with just a single USB-C cable that connects to the front of the PS5. Four embedded cameras at each corner track your head and the controllers – so you don’t need to stand in front of the TV.
