Sony reportedly is definitively abandoning plans for further development of virtual reality for PlayStation. The company has sold dozens of its patents related to VR technology to Meta, suggesting the end of its ambitions in this field.
The PlayStation VR2 headset came to market in 2023 with relatively favorable prospects. However, shortly after launch, interest from both players and support from Sony itself declined significantly. The original promises of creating major exclusive titles for this device ultimately failed to materialize, and the selection of games remained limited. zive.cz ↗
About ten years ago, virtual reality appeared to be a technology with great potential to establish itself in the gaming industry, particularly in connection with devices such as the Oculus Rift and later the HTC Vive. Despite the initial enthusiasm, however, the headsets never achieved mass adoption among regular players or game developers. cnews.cz ↗
The sale of patents to Meta thus represents a symbolic end to Sony's effort to keep PlayStation VR relevant as a platform. Sony's further steps in the field of virtual reality are not yet known, though the company will likely focus on other segments of its gaming business.
