The hype around PSVR 2 has largely died off just a year after its launch, though there’s no denying it’s a cool piece of tech. Making big strides from the original PSVR, the latest headset from Sony offers better graphics, improved tracking capabilities, and introduced the world to the sleek new Sense controllers, which make it easier than ever to interact with your virtual world.
But, like all new pieces of tech, PSVR 2 isn’t without its issues. From faulty Sense controllers to blurry images, here’s a look at the most common PSVR 2 issues and how to fix them. Many of these steps will also work with PSVR, though note the menu navigation might be slightly different.
If your Sense controller is acting funky and not registering the correct motions (or isn’t tracking input at all), you won’t have much success trying to play games.
Solutions:
The best option here is to perform a reset. A reset can be carried by out following these steps.
If your PlayStation VR headset isn’t tracking your movement properly, you might see your in-game avatar is moving without your direct input.
Solutions:
The problem could be related to lighting, so make sure you have all the lights turned on in the room that you’re playing in. Tracking issues can happen for a variety of reasons, however, so don’t lose hope if the first few solutions don’t work for you.
Perhaps one of the issues you’re running into has to do with turning the headset on or off. There are several cables that must be plugged into your headset for the system to work properly. Ensure these are correctly connected before you start troubleshooting your headset.
Solutions:
If your headset is plugged in correctly and won’t turn on, the problem could stem from either the PSVR system software or a piece of hardware.
PSVR 2 is capable of producing sharp images, but if you’re seeing pictures that are a bit fuzzy and not as vivid as you’d expect, there’s likely a setting that needs to be adjusted.
Solutions:
You should be able to eradicate any blurry images in just a few minutes by checking a few settings and properly adjusting the PSVR to fit your head. This will likely have to be done again if a different player wears the headset.
VR sickness is a very common occurrence, particularly with people who experience motion sickness while on roller coasters and in high-speed vehicles. The caveat of immersive virtual reality is that it can affect your equilibrium and balance, causing you to feel queasy when you are, in fact, completely motionless.
Solutions:
No single solution is going to alleviate everyone’s VR-induced nausea, but there are a few steps you’ll want to try in order to make your PSVR 2 experience as pleasant and vomit-free as possible.
