In an exciting development for gaming enthusiasts, Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed plans to introduce PC game support for its highly anticipated PSVR 2 headset. The announcement was made by Gillen McAllister, a representative from Sony, in a recent entry on the PlayStation Blog.
The move aims to provide PSVR 2 players access to a broader range of gaming experiences beyond the titles available exclusively on the PlayStation platform. Sony is currently in the testing phase to ensure seamless integration and compatibility between the PSVR 2 headset and PC games.
McAllister stated,
“We are currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PS VR2 titles available through PS5.”
Sony plans to roll out this support sometime in 2024, allowing PC gamers to enjoy immersive virtual reality experiences with the PSVR 2 headset. However, the company has not provided specific details regarding access to PC storefronts, leaving questions about potential restrictions or limitations unanswered.
Exciting native games coming to PSVR 2
In addition to the announcement of PC game support, Sony unveiled a lineup of native games set to debut on the PSVR 2 platform throughout the year. These titles promise to deliver captivating and immersive experiences to players eager to explore the possibilities of virtual reality gaming.
Among the notable titles announced are “The Wizards – Dark Times: Brotherhood,” “Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate,” “Little Cities: Bigger!,” “Zombie Army VR,” and “Soul Covenant.” Furthermore, players can anticipate a free update for the popular title “Arizona Sunshine 2,” enhancing the gameplay experience on the PSVR 2 headset.
With an array of diverse and engaging games on the horizon, Sony aims to solidify its position as a leading provider of virtual reality entertainment.
Apple cancels plans for Apple car project
In contrast to Sony’s positive strides in the gaming industry, Apple finds itself in the spotlight following reports of the cancellation of its ambitious Apple Car project. The decision marks the end of a decade-long endeavor by the tech giant to develop its electric vehicle, codenamed “Titan.”
Rumors surrounding Project Titan emerged in late 2014, fueling speculation about Apple’s foray into the automotive industry. Over the years, leaks and rumors kept the project alive, with reports indicating significant investments in research and development and testing of self-driving vehicle prototypes.
However, recent reports suggest a shift in Apple’s strategy, with a renewed focus on software and services for self-driving vehicles. This strategic pivot became evident with the introducing of features such as Apple CarKey and updates to CarPlay functionality.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, CEO Tim Cook delivered the news of the project’s cancellation to approximately 2000 remaining staff members. Many employees will reportedly transition to developing an Apple generative AI model aimed at competing with existing chatbot technologies.
While the cancellation of the Apple Car project marks a significant setback for the company’s automotive ambitions, Apple remains committed to innovation in other areas, leveraging its software and artificial intelligence expertise.
Sony’s announcement of PC game support for the PSVR 2 headset signals a significant expansion of gaming possibilities. At the same time, Apple’s decision to halt its Apple Car project reflects a strategic shift in focus. As both companies navigate the evolving landscape of technology and innovation, consumers eagerly anticipate the impact of these developments on the future of the gaming and automotive industries.
