Sony’s lack of support for PlayStation VR2 has been bizarre considering the headset only launched in February last year, and not a single new first party game has been announced since then, including at the most recent State Of Play.
While the headset itself is impressive, almost all the big name support came within the first months and has long since dried up, with only the likes of Horizon Call Of The Mountain, Gran Turismo 7, and a VR mode for Resident Evil Village making full use of the hardware.
If Sony’s disinterest in supporting the headset already seemed clear, a new report claims the company is making ‘deep cuts’ to its funding of VR games in the future.
According to Android Central, an inside supply claims there will probably be ‘only a few alternatives’ for VR sport growth at Sony transferring ahead, as a result of cuts.
Elsewhere, one other supply claims there are at the moment solely two PlayStation VR2 video games in growth at Sony, though that’s nonetheless two greater than was beforehand suspected.
If true, it appears like this would be the final time Sony makes any important funding into the VR area, no less than for the foreseeable future. The lack of assist can be a kicker for many who have spent £530 for the headset itself, even when smaller corporations do proceed to launch video games for it.
Sony has already made widespread cuts throughout PlayStation as an entire. Earlier this yr, it introduced plans to chop 900 jobs, which led to the closure of London Studio, who have been answerable for PlayStation VR sport Blood & Truth.
At its most up-to-date State Of Play, two new PlayStation VR2 video games have been proven, with motion horror title Alien: Rogue Incursion and Skydance’s Behemoth. However, each of those titles are set to be launched on different VR platforms and neither has something to do with Sony.
In an try to broaden its use, a brand new PC adapter for PlayStation VR2 is about to be launched subsequent month, which can permit customers to play VR video games on PC natively utilizing the headset. While it prices an additional £50, it means you’ll have the ability to play Half-Life Alyx and numerous different titles utilizing the PlayStation VR2.
While we’ll need to see what Sony has up its sleeve for its remaining first social gathering VR titles, the concept they’ve two video games in growth is significantly extra stunning than the concept they’re stopping assist.
