Most people have only interacted with VR as a means to travel, but when discussing VR console gaming, the immersion and emotions that Sony’s VR2 has brought to the surface are one-of-a-kind.

Seven years after the first-ever PS VR headset, Sony has mastered the art of making a plug-in console VR named PS VR2.
