The PlayStation VR (PS VR) is a virtual reality headset developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment,[5] which was released in October 2016.[1] The headset works with the company's PlayStation 4 video game console and is forwards compatible with PlayStation 5. Sony released its successor, PlayStation VR2, in 2023, having sold at least 5 million PlayStation VR units worldwide.

The PlayStation VR has a 5.7 inch OLED panel, with a display resolution of 1080p.[6][7] The headset also has a processor box which enables the Social Screen video output to the television, as well as process the 3D audio effect, and uses a 3.5mm headphone jack.[6][8] The headset also has nine positional LEDs on its surface for the PlayStation Camera to track 360 degree head movement.[6][9]

In certain games and demos for the VR, the player wearing the headset acts separately from other players without the headset. The PlayStation VR system can output a picture to both the PlayStation VR headset and a television simultaneously, with the television either mirroring the picture displayed on the headset, or displaying a separate image for competitive or cooperative gameplay. PlayStation VR works with either the standard DualShock 4 controller, PlayStation Move controllers or the PlayStation VR Aim controller.[10]
