are you team Sony or team Meta?
Definitely Meta, for several practical reasons: stand alone VR headset, equivalent affordable price of a Nintendo Switch, very portable, already have a PC to connect it to even wirelessly, Steam compatible.
Definitely team Sony.
Not because the headset is better but just because there is more interesting games planned in the next 3 months than were on Meta or Steam in the past 2 years.
Also because Meta is so full of themselves with that metaverse nonsense that I doubt they'll ever recover. At least not when it comes to gaming.
But in terms of headset I do find the PSVR2 way more comfortable and find the ergonomics of the controllers to be better as wall (harder to hit the rings together).
I personally don't care about the UI being flat screen floating. The UI is just there to launch games anyway.
Both, Quest 2 for the PCVR, PSVR2 for console VR and possible exclusives
Indubitably team Sony.
The headset is far from perfect and I wish I could ditch the cable and get Deluxe Audio Strap on it instead (for both audio and comfort).
But I hate the colors you get on LCD panels without good local dimming and WiFi PCVR streaming is also pretty bad IMO. Also, Meta is evil and not doing things that are good for gamers.
Team Sony. Meta has lost focus on gaming and now appeals only to casuals, the same type of consumers who enjoy Wii sports. Sony is bringing back high end VR gaming. PSVR2 may have a smaller library, but quantity does not equal quality. A lot of it is shovelware, which is why most have their quests sitting in the back of their closets.
After 30 hours playing the psvr2 i decided to try my quest2 again to compare. I was shocked how blatant the screen door is visible on the quest 2. In my memory the quest2 was sharper than psvr2 but it is not !! Psvr2 is a significant upgrade than the quest 2, they are in a different league
Had the Quest 2 since its launch, its been great. But since I got my PSVR2, it simply is just so much better.
are you planning to keep both?
@@Tyrielwood yes, but mainly because I have the 256GB Quest 2 and I’ve bought a lot of games on it. That’s the only reason why I’m keeping it. Anything new will be PSVR2 only moving forward.
My dude, can you tell me if the mura and reprojection (or blurryness that Tyriel mentioned) is that much worse? I have Rift S now and don't want to get dissappointed
Agreed. Psvr2 is a in a different league to the quest 2.
I really want to get compression free AAA vr experiences. The quest 2 is good but psvr 2 should be magical in that regard.
I really like that you pointed out there is a filter over the screen to hide the screen door effect. You are the first I have heard to point it out.
The filter bothers me big time. Makes it almost unplayable. Can’t get past it. Sending mine back
As far as I’m aware, you can fix that. It’s not meant to be there.
@@Odin_Allfather anti SDE filter is likely intentional, Samsung also added one to their Oled vr headset. I haven’t used the PSVR2 yet so I can’t comment on Sonys implementation, but Samsungs wasn’t too distracting unless you were sitting staring and a solid color (like a wall or the sky or [Ironically] pitch Black spaces)
It makes the quest 2 look better
What filter? Is this confirmed by Sony?
PSVR 2
I didn’t see the link to the cable extender you mentioned. Also will it affect the quality of the image in any way? Thanks
Tyriel, when you are all dialed in with your headset and face pointed directly at the center of the Home Screen, if you look at off-center toward the sides or corners by just moving your eyes does it appear quality drops off a lot?
I would say a bit, not a lot, normal for fresnel lenses
Best companion ive seen so far! You really did a great job and didn’t leave out any little details
Great vid! Very informative. You've helped me make my decision....I'll have both :D
really hope modders manage to get PSVR2 working on PC, seems like a decent option aside Index
There are Pico 4 and Quest 2 that work well with PC and are cheaper, and Quest 3 coming soon. I don't think PSVR2 is competitive at all for PCVR.
@@joez833 Aren't many OLED headsets for PCVR tho sadly. I haven't been able to justify any other headset over Quest 2 on my PCVR setup, it's just so flexible being able to use it wirelessly for movement games and wired for simulators. I sold the Reverb G2 as I found the Quest more useful due to its versatility.
Still, want to check how console VR compares to PCVR so I'm getting the PSVR2.
@@joez833 The reason of having a modded psvr2 kit for pc compatibility is the fact that you are able play ps5vr exclusives, on top of everything. Id rather pay for just one head set. Albeit I am surprised to hear that Quest 2 is sharper.
@Unmei i thought i heard in the comparison video that quest 2 displays have a better crispness when it comes to small assets as text or whatnot. But i might got it wrong. Ill rewatch tonight.
I honestly don't see a reason to get a PSVR2 for PC when you can get a Quest 2.
Can you do a Pico 4 PCVR (with Virtual Desktop) vs PSVR2 comparison? Thanks.
It's hard to compare the Quest 2 running as a standalone headset vs PSVR2 basically being powered by something equal to a decent powered PC. A true comparison would be the Quest 2 running PCVR vs PSVR2.
Having said that, gaming wirelessly in VR is definitely a game changer vs being wired. Also, sad to hear PSVR2 suffers from SDE or bluriness trying to hide it. I thought maybe things improved with OLED screens in VR headsets. While the colors and contrast are great, SDE is something that I think ruins immersion in VR as well as making things blurry trying to hide it. It was the main reason I did not like the original Quest. The SDE just ruined it for me. Would take worse contrast and colors of an LCD screen in VR any day over SDE.
@kinggame1873 People do compare Quest2 with other PCVR headsets. PCVR is very much a part of the Quest2's identity and Meta has constantly released updates and improvements on both Air link and Wired link. Quest2 makes up over 50% of SteamVR as well so most people who PCVR are doing it on a Quest2.
Psvr2 has a very obvious filter, it looks very grainy and definitely kills the immersion and makes the picture look softer/blurry. I've returned mine as I found it completely unbearable, in dark scenes it completely clouds the display
@@lewissheridan8890 I think I saw some videos talking about that. It's due to the OLED to the PPI isn't as high as the quest2 giving it a very faint screen door effect.
@@chan13153 it's definitely not faint and it doesn't resemble screen door effect to me. Tyriel mentioned it in his original review for the headset
PSVR2 comes 2 years to late from a tech perspective.
After only 1 day of having PSVR 2 I would say it is much better than my PCVR experience with Quest 2. One of the main points is the lack of faff, I spent more time fiddling with in game settings using PCVR. Running a RTX 2080 super I found to get the level of graphic fidelity I want the games would run badly, also many artefacts. In the end I went back to my Rift S for Driving Sims, but resolution if far less. I just plug in PSVR 2 and its perfect, no faff. The biggest down side of PSVR 2 is having to purchase games I already own on PCVR or Quest. But for example Star Wars galaxy edge is so much better on PSVR 2, and the Haptics are so immersive.
Plot Twist: Ended up buying Pico4
PSVR2 is amazing but it should allow us to watch our 3D blu ray collection and it should allow the use if Bluetooth headphones. The black levels are stunning but the sweet spot would have been far better if it had pancake lenses.
but much darker with pancake
As someone who has a quest2 and just got a psvr2, considering the entry cost I honestly expected way more. Maybe I got caught in the marketing hype, but I thought it'd be more of an upgrade. It's better, sure, but for what I payed on my quest2 before the price increase I don't think psvr2 is 2x better, and if I had to get a ps5 I definetly don't think it's more than 3x better. Gran Turismo 7 on VR with a wheel is incredible, but if I wasn't interested in that I'd say quest2 offers a waaaaaay better value.
Is bigscreen available on the psvr2? What social games (like bigscreen, vrchat and horizon worlds) are available on the psvr2
Nothing as of yet (not counting Zenith) but I’m sure VR Chat, Rec Room, and probably even Big screen will be coming to it (Not sure if Meta is offering Horizon outside their ecosystem currently)
The reason the screen is crisp on quest is because with vr head sets. Its so all about pixels per degree. NOT resolution. So even tho psvr’s resolution is higher on. It’s lower in pixel per degree
Hi Tyrel! Could you make a PSVR2 vs Pico4 video?
I don’t why people are psvr2 is blurry! Jump into kayak vr, gt7 and call of the mountain and its jaw dropping and crisp! My kids have the quest 2 one even with the elite strap and cushioned faceplate and it is crisp sure but the graphics are flat and simple lighting is poor and ai on most games are compromised. As far as the sweet spot after a day to tweak my psvr2 it is spot on. I have never been able to sustain the sweet spot on quest 2 unfortunately. Quest wins for mobility sure and has done a lot for bringing vr to the mainstream consumers but psvr2 is definitely the future of vr at this point. Thanks for the video i always enjoy your content
its not blurry i have no idea what they are talking about ..and text is easier to read on psvr2 also...he pulled that out his ass
Anyone who thinks the headset is blurry is 100% just not wearing it properly
@@jason5021 true, my first time wearing it was a bit blurry and I try to adjust got the longest period of time. Then I found out that you need to wear the head down the back of your head a lot to get it right. You need to push the back down a lot and let the front just sit above your forehead. That worked for me and I managed to get it looking really clear and comfortable.
Exactly. It takes time to adjust and find the sweet spot. I think this is the problem for a lot of people unfortunately. Once you do find it, the image is clearer than on the Quest 2. Not Reverb G2 level, but somewhere in between Q2 and G2.
Don't forget the battery life of the quest 2 is only 2ish hours without a battery pack or head strap that has built-in batteries.
BoboVr and the battery dock changes that to ♾️
@@metalmanexetreme did you not read the part where he said without those things?
@@mitchellp7739 yea but between a new headstrap with batteries, facial interface, and knuckles grips for the controller your looking at another $100+ on a $400-$500 device before it's comfortable and can last 6+ hours
Not much of an issue since everyone basically owns a powerbank. I just put a 5,000 MAH or 10,000 MAH powerbank in my pocket when I play. These powerbank I already owned and use them on my phone as well. If powerbnaks did not exist then yeah this would be a huge negative. Though I still would have liked it to be 4-5 hours without a powerbank but at least you can easily fix this issue.
PSVR2's battery life isn't very good too. Only about 3-4 hours for the controller. And unlike the Quest2 you cannot plug in the controller. When the controller dies thats it. You gotta wait for it to charge.
@@mitchellp7739 No fix for PSVR2's bad battery life though. Not the headset but the controller. Lasting only 3-4 hours and unlike the quest2 you cannot just plug it in and keep playing.
I just can`t go back to tethered headsets in general. You just can`t do basic things without worrying about the placement of the cable
both of course, but I really hope the psvr2 brings some killer apps soon because quest 2 is more catered to small indie experiences and we dont really have those big blockbuster games in VR yet. I mean whatever happened to the quest GTA san andreas port?!
no it wouldn't not psvr would just support gaming for 1 or 2 years!
I’m sending my PSVR2 back. The lack of interface, the lack of volume and mute buttons, the overall feeling of putting it on and taking it off, the controllers that, while feeling good, are bizarre when setting down, only one included cord to charge both controllers and charging extra for the docking station….I’m underwhelmed. These were easy marks, and Sony missed on them.
Same for me 😢 I'm planning to return my PSVR2 headset, despite my initial excitement about a major player entering the VR market. However, I've been disappointed by some aspects of the headset, including the cord, which I find cumbersome compared to the freedom of my PICO 4. The settings are also too limited, but that's to be expected since the product is designed for console gamers. Adjusting the headset is a tedious process, and it's not practical to pick up the controllers while wearing the headset. Additionally, the addition of separate audio headphones seems unnecessary when other VR headsets have built-in speakers, and the lack of a blue light solution is also disappointing.
I think being wireless vs wired should give a point to the Quest 2 in terms of immersive experience. And, not sure how you can score this so just mentioning it as you did was probably the way to go, but if you’ve got a gaming pc, that evens things up on the high end gaming front at least to some extent. And now with the Quest 3 coming out, and the apparently good quality pass through for AR experiences, that will add a new dimension to the comparison.
About the PSVR 2 controllers: the fact that the grip button is not analog like in case of Quest controllers, is not really the issue. It has capacitive sensor so the games can use it similar to how Index controllers work. It's a game design issue.
keeping a button pressed is much harder than keeping an analog grip pressed tho, but yeah, as game design you will see many games using a toggle to grab (like the old vive wands) or simply using the trigger ( like horizon is already doing ), but it feels a bit unnatural to me
You missed my point I guess. Devs could have easily implemented it as "rest your finger on the grip button" instead of pressing it down. That's also why using wrist straps instead of Index like grip straps is bit of a wasted opportunity there.
@ yep, without index straps they can't really do it, devs have to rely on the base thing
@@Tyrielwood I feel like Sony was like “ what’s the most immersive thing we can add to the controller”
Dev: I know how bout making the user actually have to grip items like they would in reality!
Sony: That’s brilliant, So much Realism!
Tyriel we need a through the lensssss please!!! Maybe psvr2 vs quest 2 vs reverb g2/pico4?
next week, it takes a lot of time unfortunately, I have to reshoot everything and try to match the games, I'm screwed XD
@@Tyrielwood We understand. Just take the time you need Tyriel. We always love your through the lenses comparison vids. Thanks 😊👍
MRTV did a short through the lens video. It's not a comparison but at least it's something while waiting for Ty.
Those hand controllers for the PSVR2 look small to me, I would have to try them before I buy them...I have really big hands, and find my Quest 2 controllers a bit small but useable.
I was worried about this as well, as I have relatively large hands. I don't own a quest 2, but I have played around with one and i really didn't like the controllers as they felt too small and I constantly felt like I was going to drop them (especially playing beat saber). My worry with the PSVR2 controllers was that my hands would feel cramped or I would get pinched in some way. Even still, I took the plunge and ordered the PSVR2. As soon as I got the controllers out and picked them up, my initial concern was that the tracking ring would get in the way of my thumb when using the face buttons (circle, X, triangle, square) as that sits exactly over the joint of the thumb with the back of your hand. Happily, not only does it fit my hand comfortably, I don't notice any problem with the tight space for the movement of my thumbs when I'm in game (there is very slight contact with the lowest knuckle of my thumb, but it's a smooth surface on the inside of the controller). For reference, my measurement across the middle of my palms is 9.5cm, and my max span for my hand is 24.5cm (fingers spread as wide as possible - tip of little finger to tip of thumb). You won't know for sure until you try them, but I hope this gives you some idea and might help.
Great video as always.
I have both, and I love both. Psvr2 better graphics and performance
And Quest 2 portable and still lots of fun also at the moment more games
The headset haptics were mind blowing in RE 8
4 to 5 hours is not enough battery time for you??? And please tell me how many AAA games that you can buy right now that will run on the Meta Quest 2 without a gaming PC.
You won't get an answer because there are none.
@@davidhujik3422 I already knew that. It was a rhetorical question. 😀
the quest last like 2hrs lol
I just got my PSVR2 a few days ago, and it's amazing, especially with Gran Turismo 7.
But, I still use my Quest 2 from time to time to play modded Beat Saber through Virtual Desktop, since PSVR2 doesn't have PC compatibility.
It would be really cool if Sony came up with a solution to play PCVR games on the PSVR2.
One great way to do that would be to release Virtual Desktop on the PSVR2 (or Sony's equivalent version of it), and stream PCVR games directly to the PS5, that way the PSVR2 would still be plugged in to the PS5, and you wouldn't have to plug it into your PC.
You could just download Virtual Desktopon your PS5, then download the client on your PC, then stream PCVR games to the PS5 and use your PSVR2. That way, Sony wouldn't have to make a linkbox or anything and could have PC combatibility fully through software.
I know Sony definitely wouldn't do this, but it would be a good solution.
They could add Virtual Desktop-like functionality to Remote Play, and you could stream PCVR games to the PS5 with that.
Hello friend, if you compare, for example, a racing game, Quest 2 and PSVR, how is the sharpness of the image to read license plates, numbers on the car's dashboard, and small details near and far?
I want to use it for the GT7 and I wanted to get a sense of the image, if I'm going to be happy with the sharpness and graphic fidelity.
When they say ''blurry'' it's scary. haha
wireless and optional cable & hand tracking its a no brainer
Need thru the lens, with pico, g2 etc
do the comparison between reverb g2 and psvr2 …
I own the Quest 2 + gaming PC and PS5. So in my case I’m considering either getting the Quest 3 or PSVR 2. In general the Quest is a better value choice. You can play without any other device. Play with a PC that is an open platform with hundreds of experiences. You get access to web VR, 3D movies and anything you can think of. And with the Quest 3 much better AR. But there are two big problem. The Quest 3 hardware is obsolete on launch. No Foveated rendering. No OLED. No HDR. A slight resolution and clarity upgrade + AR but nothing major. It’s not like the upgrade from Quest 1 to Quest 2. On top of that AAA PCVR isn’t very big nor well optimized. So few companies are willing to risk launching a AAA game on PCVR. And with Meta moving more towards mobile it’s only going to get harder. Asgard’s Wrath 2 for instance is a mobile game. So since I already have a Quest 2, I want better VR games,and the Quest 3 is just a minor upgrade, the PSVR 2 seems to be the right choice. Keep the Quest 2 for everything else and get the PSVR 2 for AAA games, immersion and all that.
One question : what does everyone have to do with better colour, deeper black, higher brightness, if everything looks blurry !!!?
Who would prefer that to clarity !?
I have both.
At the end of the day $500 for a system and $500 for a headset just to use whereas now the quest 2 is on sale for $250 and can access ALL VR games I’d say the quest wins overall as well as its compatibility and navigation and the fact that there aren’t many newer gen vr games out right now that you can’t already play on the quest 2.
how about the comparison of PSVR2 vs quest2 with powerful PC + virtual desktop, to me it's more fair to compare
I think ill disagree with the tie on Build. With the Quest you can upgrade the strap to something you can feel more comfortable wearing. the PSVR2 so far has given me a headache, I really am not a fan of the no IPD markings on it too. Trying to find that sweet spot can be tough. im not sure if it is the Halo strap or the not properly tuned IPD. I love how light the PSVR headset is though, it feels like a better Rift S. The film you mentioned is interesting. I thought it didnt seem as clear as my Quest 2 as well, but amazing color and contrast, it is miles above in that regars.
Interesting...for me I totally forgot I was wearing it. It's very lightweight and boy it works great with glasses.
Nice video
Quest 2 should've got a point for Power since PC is the main way to play. Plus being able to choose between that and the optional standalone mode is better than no options at all unlike the PSVR2 being trapped
For the price of around 1000 dollars, you can get a ps5 and a psvr2, or a quest 2 and a good midrange gaming pc (which you can use for almost anything). Less performance and quality, but way more freedom to do what you want, including vr mods for games like red dead 2 (Clasted Bheeks made an incredible video about that). I would pick pcvr any day, but it's a personal decision.
Too bad I can't get either of these headsets lol. Maybe in a couple of months though.
Sony did something strange to the lenses. They are thick and introduce ton of chromatic aberration. You have to be in 0.1mm spot to have decent picture. In all 3 axis.
The polarized takes on the clarity of PSVR2 are really confusing. Some say it's clearer than Quest 2, some say it's much blurrier... If it's a variation of quality between the individual units or if it depends on the person, I can't tell. Makes me really torn on whether or not I should upgrade to it from Quest 2.
I own the Quest 2, the HP Reverb G2 and the PSVR2. I'd say PSVR2 is somewhere in between the Quest 2 and HP Reverb G2. It's not as clear as I would like it to be but at the end of the day it's clear enough. Also depends on your personal ipd and whether you've found the exact sweet spot or not. Better FOV and colours and OLED blacks and comfort make me want to use the PSVR2 over the Q2 and the G2. You should seek out reviews from experienced VR users. My personal opinion is that you should not get rid of the Quest 2 but keep both. I Hope that helps.
For me, who’s has a quest 2 and a nice pc, it’s like this. The PSVR2 has better resolution but is less clear lol it has a very strange “fuzz” to it. I almost sent it back because of it. However, after a while I got used to it and don’t really mind anymore. It’s like if you took a photo and put a color filter on it. At first it’s hard not to notice but then after a while you forget it’s there. The actual graphics are absolutely stunning and the haptics of the controllers add a ton for me. It’s also WAY more comfortable. I can wear it for 3 times as long and still be better off than the quest. I’ve only played Horizon, GT7 with a wheel, and Pavlov. Horizon is kind of stuttery for me which was a huge turn off however GT7 and Pavlov are incredibly smooth and ridiculously fun. Overall I’d say it’s considerably better than the quest 2 in every possible way outside of pure clarity and the cable although I haven’t found that to be a big deal. If you play PC vr with the quest you might not be as impressed with the psvr but if you’re coming from the quest stand-alone I think it’s worth it without a doubt just for the high quality games alone.
for me it felt more of a ""sidegrade"" than an upgrade. I definetly find it blurrier over the quest2 but I also can use it for longer because of the confort. If you're interested in the games i'd say go for it, but do temper expectations as mine was a bit of a letdown because of all the marketing/reviews hype
PSVR2 is really a great headset, but the only things is that the game library is small for the moment.
Psvr 2 is awesome. People just don't know how to set up the system to not be blurry for them. It works perfect for me.
I have one and it has definitely been a challenge to dial in. Question since yours is perfect, when you are at the Home Screen and head pointed forward, are the sides and corners of the Home Screen sharp or blurry if you look at them only by moving your eyes?
Not Blurry?
Same it’s perfect
@@cia4gent128 nope
@@Atum1c thanks, something must be wrong with mine if that’s true. It’s a very noticeable drop off on the sides of the screen in clarity until I point my face directly at it.
I appreciate the attempt to compare the systems but they are fundamentally different products. One of them requires a ps5 to use whereas the other is a stand alone item that can be linked to a computer to boost it's usability. My other major issue is that the Quest 2 is 3 years old and there is a new model releasing later this year.
Imo the PSVR 2 is a good option for families who already have a ps5 but for the majority of users a different headset would better suit them.
Pico 4?
It seems odd that Sony would release a Tethered headset in 2023. While that may be how the VR industry first started, it evolved beyond that years ago. They are taking a step five years backwards.
The score changes to 8 (Quest 2) vs 4 (PSVR 2) when you consider the Quest 2 can be powered by a powerful Gaming PC (either tethered or wirelessly).
POWER: A high-end Gaming PC is without question more powerful and has better graphics than a PS5. Move that point from the PSVR2 to the Quest 2 and the score changes to 5 (Quest 2) - 6 (PSVR 2).
GAMES: With the Quest 2, you need to remember is also has access to PC VR games. The graphics on some of these are amazing. There is also not a size limit on the PC VR games available to the Quest 2. Move that point from the PSVR2 to the Quest 2 and the score changes to 6 (Quest 2) - 5 (PSVR 2).
SOUND: This one is more subjective. Many people prefer the open-air sound of the Quest 2 and don't want ear buds inside their ears or headphones covering their ears. Fortunately, the Quest 2 allows either open air or headphones/earbuds. The PSVR2 limits you to earbuds/headphones only. Move that point from the PSVR2 to the Quest 2 and the score changes to 7 (Quest 2) - 4 (PSVR 2).
UNTETHERD: Finally, the most significant difference wasn't even scored. This is the ability to use untethered. This is what made the Quest 2 the most popular VR headset. The Quest 2 can be used untethered or tethered. The PSVR2 can only be used tethered, limiting the play area to the short length of a cable that is always being stepped on and getting wrapped up in while playing. This definitely is a point for the Quest 2 (most people would consider this 10 points!). Make these corrections and the final score becomes 8 - 4 with the Quest 2 on top.
Nowadays, the only reason to buy a tethered headset is if it has considerably better graphics and you want to use sit-down simulators, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator or iRacing. When sitting, the cable is not an issue. These high-end simulators, however, are only available on Gaming PCs.
PSVR does not have built in audio speakers, which is better than placing a dirty earbud and share it with every person and get ear infection... quest 2 is better on that too and u gave points to ps lol
One headset to escape your home and one to escape the outside world.
Already in both teams 😂 but honestly: I would not call it team metaverse. Both devices are for entertainment (at least for me personally). The 3 AAA games for psvr2 are worth it alone. I use the Q2 mainly as a pcvr hmd. So: all the multiplattform titles I have on both plattforms have a sharper picture on my high end pc. But honestly: if you have a q2 as a standalone device and a ps5 and your main interest is gaming: the psvr2 is clearly the way to go. As standalone it is not even close.
They have these rubber grips that actually makes the grip buttons pop out more making it easier to press like you would with a quest controller
i got use to the grip pretty quick to be honest..

I own a pc with rtx 3090, a ps 5, a quest 2 and a pimax 8k plus x. Id very much want to play ps5 vr but im going to be adding a 3rd piece of equipment. Huh
yeah, I visit yoru channel for reviews, I'm pretty sure I will see the real comparison unlike other channels.
I love the halo design of the ps vr1 and this one looks just as comfortable. I have modded the quest and no matter what i try it remains the most uncomfortable headset i've owned.
Any headset that relies on putting pressure on your face is always super uncomfortable and ugly once you take it off. Having the screen hover in front of you is the best design
@@mitchellp7739 I bought a Halo for Quest 2 which is just as comfortable as PSVR2s (i own both). And it was just 35 Euro.
Add passthrough quality to list
They are about the same to be honest. Good enough for what you need from it.
for my only way PCVR and games with ton of mods :D
I personally feel the Quest 2 should get the first hardware point as you don't need anything else to run it, and you can throw it in a bag or quickly use it anywhere. PSVR 2 will always rely on having a PS5 as well, and isn't portable. They're both 2 great devices that are pretty much neck-and-neck depending on your budget and the kind of gamer you are.
11:30 GRAPHICS are not everything oculus has many more games for example ps vr has 9 free games while oculus quest has 900 free games considering the fact that sidequest is here!
If you have a nice gaming PC, then I'd tell someone to get a quest 2, but if they don't then psvr2 is the cheapest way to get high-quality vr. I like both
I have rifts quest2 and psvr2. Psvr2 is better BUT there is mura effect on psvr2. I love quest 2 for mobility and some fun game. Rifts is good but screendoor but work great with my radeon 5700xt. So i keep the 3 😁.any is perfect but psvr2 is great except for this mura effect. And i prefer lcd , for’me vr would be only with good lcd display. Oled with better dark’isnt the best way….psvr2 with lcd would be perfect.
I have to disagree about the OLED. I own the Quest 2, HP Reverb G2 and the PSVR2 and OLED black is just so much more immersive to me that it overcomes other issues. I like the clarity of the G2 but feel more immersed with the PSVR2.
@@VilleVaananen black situations are less present than classics where mura is présent. So we can frequently see mura but not black deep. But i keep psvr2 for my son and its a great vr overall
@Veisenberg If it bothers you that much, I understand your point. To me it's a non-issue really. Everybody is different. I'm coming from Oculus CV1 and I even prefer that to a lcd screen.
@@Olivier13680 Very good point. Mura doesn't really bother me to be honest so maybe I'm just deviant in that way. Good colours, blacks, decent FOV and good performance is all I need. In addition to good games of course.
I have both, and honestly prefer the quest 2. I have a lot of problems with blurry text on the psvr2 even when adjusting everything, and the quest also works on my pc and gives an arguably better experience when hooked up to it (and can do it wirelessly!)
Really the only thing I like more about the psvr2 is no pressure on the front of your face, and the eye tracking
Do you have a halo style headstrap for Quest 2? Great option to remove face pressure.
@@WesleyFiles I'm sure some people with different head shapes have had better luck than I have with that, but I got a bobo halo headstrap for my Quest 2 and I still couldn't avoid it resting against my face and putting pressure there...it slides forward no matter what due to the heavy front weight. It was marginally better, but nowhere near as good as PSVR1/PSVR2's ergonomics. This is actually the sole reason I bought a PS5+PSVR2 ($$$ and not a huge console fan generally), since I couldn't find any PCVR Headsets/QuestMods/etc that achieved the same ergonomics.
@@WesleyFiles I don’t, been using the elite strap for a while, and it’s comfy enough. Although it does put pressure on the face, it holds its position really well, whereas the psvr2 I kept barely knocking it out of the sweet spot
@@WesleyFiles i cant wear the quest more than an hour just so uncomfortable
I want a PCVR headset that has every feature the PSVR2 has but with pancake lenses and the ability to go wireless. I hope the Meta Quest 3 is this headset.
Leaks have confirmed that the Quest 3 won’t be getting eye tracking. It might have pancake lenses though
I feel like your point system was flawed considering that my 2080ti with a wired connection destroys the PSVR 2. The comparison if they are both wired or both wireless would obviously change your point system. Also you didn’t mention the Sony’s lockdown on streaming or making videos cross platform which will not record cross play voices from other systems.
20 series card with the Quest 2 is not impressive at all. Compressed image and poor performance. If you want to play PCVR games, I suggest you upgrade your GPU to at least 30 series and get either a Valve Index or HP Reverb G2.
Being able to play pc games with the headset is worth 10 points instead of 1
PICO 4 / Quest 3!
You can connect the quest 2 to a PC... Either with a cable or even WIRELESS. Not a fair comparison. The PSVR2 has better displays, eye tracking, possibly more stable game play, and better comfort out of the box. I'm pro competition and while your assessment wasn't entirely accurate, I'm glad the PSVR2 exists for competition sake to keep everyone in line and focus on innovating to entice the consumer.
Sony is missing out on a lot of money if they don't think of making it compatible with SteamVR.
Maybe people should get the meta quest 3 that launches this year.
Maybe. Maybe not. I personally went for the PSVR2 and considering getting the Q3 as well after it comes out. Need to wait for confirmed specs and reviews first of course.
i have bot VR head sets and for me psvr2 is a pain with that freaking cable also the excessive light of the lens make my eyes feel tired in the short term, there's nothing like the freedom of no wires connected, i wish i could of wait for the quest 3 instead, i feel like i wasted over $600, i will keep using them mybe i will end up liking them
PSVR2 has GT7, nothing else Matters to me as a Racing game fan
Hmmm. The Quest 2 hooked up to a PC has iRacing, Assetto Corsa and Automobilista 2 just to name a few great racing games. Of course there's more on top of that.
@@thecasualracinggamer so instead of buying a $550 headset for his existing console you suggest he buys a $400 headset and a $2,000 PC to get a similar experience. Maybe use your logic next time
@@mitchellp7739 I did not suggest he buy anything. I was just pointing out that as a racing game fan there is a lot more out there then GT7 on PS5 and PSVR2. Also, just for info you can run a Quest 2 on a PC much less then $2,000.
@@thecasualracinggamer not at the quality and fidelity that GT7 is running at
Yeah if anyone is a racing fan it’s worth it just for that game alone lol this is coming from someone who does own a nice Pc and a quest 2. GT7 is just so dang smooth compared to PC and it’s nice to have a slightly more laid back game when you want it compared to the hardcore PC games
PSVR 2 is $549 not $599 (that is for the bundle with a game)
Just add a layer of thick foam tape over the grip button. Problem solved.
simple answer .
psvr2 is better visuals better features and can run bigger games to high standards and comfortable except if you have small ipd and then the lenses push against your nose which can be sorted by pulling the visor out a little.£530
meta 2 is cheaper if you don't already own a ps5 can be taken and used anywhere very uncomfortable until you buy a better head strap and need charging stand to charge headset and controllers unless you want to swap batteries over.
psvr2 is a better gaming headset
meta 2 is better fitness and social headset
I would rather trust Sony than Facebook get the PlayStation VR2 more exclusives are coming PlayStation needs there own standalone headset to dominate Facebook Sony is Legend!!!!!
PSVR2 - A very blurred picture. For quest 2, the picture is much clearer! It’s obvious. Their price is $299
How is wireless not a category lol?
I have the PSVR2 and the Quest 2. Listen to Tyriel when he gives his take on the PSVR2. It is by far the best OLED experience that you can get for that price(plus high quality games) but the problem of blurriness still exists.
Basically, if you’re coming from a Quest 2, you’re probably going to feel as though the PSVR2 is a bit blurry. I definitely was underwhelmed by the resolution. I researched and tried to find out why it looks way blurrier and more screen door-ish than the quest.
I came to find out that it is because it is a pentile matrix design with the LEDs. Without getting too technical, PSVR2 needs need like at least 30-40% more pixels to match the clarity of Quest 2.
Nevertheless, I still LOVE the immersion that it brings vs the Q2. To be specific, the OLED makes everything seem alive and more immersive. It also has more vertical FOV. The fact dark looks “dark” and not gray.. the fact I can vividly see detailed shadows and sunlight (Horizon) is what keeps me immersed.
It’s hard to explain but just think of it this way:
PSVR2 = next-gen OLED lifelike VR in 720P
Quest 2 + PC streaming = next-gen lifelike VR in 1440p(2k) with grayish blacks
Luckily, I own both but it is a tie in my eyes one gives maximum immersion and one give maximum clarity + graphics. And when I say maximum “immersion”, I am trying to point out the fact it feels like you’re actually there in that VR world. With that being said, if you don’t have a PS5, I don’t recommend it. Just save up and buy a decent gaming PC setup.
The PSVR is better than the quest 2 on PCVR, when you consider the optimization of the games on ps5 hardware (partnered with eye tracking foveated rendering) the fps is just good and it works. Also considering the controllers, they are great with force feedback. The feedback in the HMD is a nice bonus too. FOV is great, colors are great, brightness is unmatched. Clarity is good. Personally I would prefer a screen door over the Mura effect caused by the filter. I'm ok with fresnel for the brightness trade off. Overall I will be enjoying my psvr 2, and using my quest 2 for PCVR only games.
This right here 👆 I feel the same way.
Hmm. I feel like the Quest 2's convenience and portability should have come into play here.
Not to mention giving the point to the Playstation VR2 in the "Games" category when it barely has any yet. That's not even talking about the fact you can play the entire PCVR catalog of games on the quest 2, and it even has alternate storefronts you can use to get indies very easily. Quest should easily have won that one.
The pity about PSVR 2 is that all the old vr games are not useable, with quest you can connect to pc and have a massive library of games, old or new.
Well Quest 2 has a huge head start. PSVR2 literally just came out. A lot of the old titles will become available and new ones as well. Just have to wait a bit. While waiting, there's already enough content to keep players entertained.
This is like comparing a 3060 to a 4080. 1 point for the price? The price is the whole point. Price shouldn't be a factor because it's the biggest factor.
Quest 2 has been out for 2 years..
Soon as Quest 3 releases, then make a video asking if PSVR2 is worth it.....
It will be 🎉
Psvr 2 is absolutely amazing im loving mine 😀 😀 😀 😀
The only real advantage of the quest over the pavr2 is the wireless and the fact it can be connected to pc and all the free or very cheap mods cracks and variety of games and experiences it has to offer - well that’s a big advantage lol
Both systems are great but for me I need a better fov as 96 or 110 is still last gen and helps to break the immersion - looks like am going to have to go down the index/pimax route and am sure a lot of people still will stick to these because of this.
From what people speculate the quest 3 will only have somewhere between 100-110 degrees as well so again shame on both these headsets 🤔 But if your not too fused about the fov abd if people haven’t bought the psvr2 yet and don’t already have a ps5 console I would hold on for the quest 3 as it will be a lot cheaper and have high resolution and of course you’ll be getting wireless pc vr and most of the games on psvr2 have been ported anyway and there’s a lot more to choose from and cheaper where as I don’t think the psvr2 will be pc compatible as the connection between the ps5 and psvr2 will be encrypted . Anyway thanks for the video .
The Quest 2 should get points for being able to be used for PCVR and points for having side quest. Psvr2 should have a half point reduced for the majority of its current launch line up being 2 yr old quest ports. Also the quest 2 is now 3 years old and it still is a great headset. Psvr2 may be the new powerhouse but im sure quest 3 will leap frog it
I hope so...vr is awesome and its great seeing competition which will lead to innovation
Psvr2 is amazing
I don't want a PS5 but the headset looks awesome!
you don't have a ps5!?
@@Tyrielwood No I built a pc and it can play all three Xbox, Sony, Nintendo, and VR games. I like to have one system that can do everything and be open. 😁

Not surprising that if you look at the comments you see PCVR players saying metaquest 2 is better than the obviously better PSVR2. These are the people complaining about the filter that reduces the screen door effect that is common in most headsets, specifically the Metaquest 2. Ironically enough if you go back to metaquest 2 reviews the screen door effect is a huge complaint many users had....now the screen door effect is being praised for clarity. This is laughably sad that people are going out of thier way to downplay an obviously better option in PSVR2 since many of these same people will praise the G2 reverb which has a similar screen technology.
Its also ironic that whenever people talk about the price of a PSVR2 vs metaquest 2 they talk about the Metaquest 2 as a standalone headset, which when compared to the PSVR2 in this mode is like trying to compare a switch in portable mode to a PS5. The obvious solution for these Metaquest 2 advocates is to pair it to a powerful PC and this is were the irony comes in....they will include the price of a PS5 in the discussion of PSVR2 so 400/500 dollars + 550 dollars would total 1150 dollars so lets say 1200 for round numbers sake, but the cost of the powerful PC to make metaquest 2 better is unsurprisingly absent from the comparison. I say unsurprisingly because the minimum cost for a VR capable PC alone is 1200- 1500 dollars and this isn't even a good PC, this is more like the bargin bin cheapest entry port to VR type PC and the PC alone for VR will cost you more than the PSVR2 and PS5 combined. But that will never be in these comparisons.
Lastly we don't talk about immersion, which is odd considering that VR itself is all about immersion. We don't talk about 3d audio or haptic feedback in the controllers and headset, or even HDR10 support, with Metaquest and no PC will give you those things so now they don't matter for VR apparently. As someone who has a very good PC VR setup and a PS5 and now PSVR2, I can say that PSVR2 is extremely good and is definitely better than metaquest 2 to the point where I would not even consider metaquest 2 a fair comparison to PSVR2 because it is onesided in favor of PSVR2. PSVR2+PS5 is more comparable to a G2 reverb and beefy PC which is very high praise considering that I paid over 3k for my PC VR setup but 1295 after taxes for PS5+ PSVR2 Horizon bundle+ charging station.
great review! but I will wait for the Quest3
Good choice
Won’t even come close
Isn’t this kinda comparing Apple’s to orange’s. Ones a standalone with less processing power at a lower price point and the other tethered to a higher processing power console at a higher price point.
That's why at the end I said that all falls back to the first point :)
@@Tyrielwood I don’t watch the video before I read the title is my point.
Guys have u not realised taht quest 2 is 2 years old but on the hand psvr2 is new, imagine when quest 3 comes out
My computers are Macs, which notoriously are avoided by game publishers - so I use my PS5 as my gaming machine.
That makes it a no-brainer to go with the PSVR2.
Unfortunately, I suffer from lazy-eye which diminishes my VR experience.
… and let's face it - this is _Meta_ we're talking about. The whole reason Meta got into the game is so they can track you without someone else like Apple getting in the way. Do you _really_ think they're selling it at $400 out of the goodness of their hearts?
This comparison felt very biased, first you said the controllers were better on quest 2 but give the point to playstation for adaptive triggers but failed to mention with that setting on the battery in the controllers drains way faster, the quest 2 has much better touch capacitors and overall feel and button positioning, then you went to audio and said the PSVR2 has better audio and even comparing with the headset you can buy for it when the Quest 2 has MUCH better audio solutions now that absoultely bury the PSVR2, then you mention games, the quest 2 has a massive library of games that the PSVR2 doesn't even have access to, its not always about the graphically fidelity, games like robo recall, RE4 VR, In death, a good majority of the games coming to PSVR2 were already released on Quest/PCVR. I'm all for comparison videos but don't favor one side over the other to be the "hype of the month" video.

It seems?????????
It does
Or
It Doesn't.
Selling my PS4 and PSCR 1 and NOT buying PSVR 2 as much as I want to. Already have Quest 2 and Pimax 5k (gonna sell the Pimax while keeping the sensors and controllers) and will be waiting for Quest 3 to upgrade or buy as a secondary AIO vr hmd and also very curious about how Valve will respond to all this with Deckard, I hope it arrives in 2023. Already heavily invested in all 3 ecosysytems, s will continue with PCR and Quest systems although I am very happy to see Playstation VR is evolving but they have to urgently do something about the PSVR library and support devs to bring the majority of the PSVR 1 catalogue to PSVR 2 asap!
i think eye tracking shouldn't be here in comparision & gaming factors considaration. it takes the score to ps vr - 5 & meta quest 2 - 7! this scores seems unfair!
