Sony has announced an official name and an array of technical details for its upcoming, under-wraps PlayStation VR successor for PlayStation 5.

PlayStation VR2, as it’s now officially known, will boast 4K HDR OLED panels, offering a 110-degree field of view. These panels will have a resolution of 2000×2040 per eye, and frame rates of 90/120Hz.  Built-in “Tempest 3D AudioTech” and headset vibration is also included, with Sony giving examples of use for the latter such as feeling “a character’s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to the character’s head, or the thrust of a vehicle as the character speeds forward”.

That initial announcement was designed to encourage VR game developers to get onboard with Sony’s plans.

Now, nearly a year on, we’re clearly closer to launch – but there’s still no big reveal of the headset itself – or word on pricing or release date.

Finally, Sony’s announcement today also included brief word of a new Horizon spin-off for PlayStation VR2, named Horizon Call of the Mountain, and a glimpse of it in action: ,
