![]() ![]() Leaning on its first party development studios and publishing pals, Sony amassed a great library of exclusive titles to play, including the delightful Astro Bot Rescue Mission, terrifying Resident Evil 7 (with PSVR-exclusive virtual reality mode), and James Bond-baiting Blood & Truth. Low resolution screen compared to competitionĬonsidering the relatively low-powered PS4 console it’s tied to, the wired PlayStation VR (PSVR) headset still offers a damn good time for gamers. But, if you can afford its price tag and accommodate its PC and room requirements, it’s the best VR experience money can currently buy. It can be hard to come by, selling out regularly, and we’re expecting a refreshed model to turn up before long. It’s the model for VR devices to come, and the perfect companion to the best VR experience yet – sci-fi horror adventure Half-Life: Alyx, which was made in conjunction with the Valve Index headset. What you get instead is arguably the most immersive VR experience to date, thanks to the Valve Index’s wider field of view, high-resolution display, and ‘knuckle’ style controllers which allow you to use each of your fingers and thumbs individually in a VR environment. There’s no wireless option with the Valve Index kit. It’s one of the pricier devices on this list – not just because of its high specifications, which include a super-sharp screen and additional tracking stations that need to be dotted around the room, but also because there’s the expectation that you’ll be hooking this headset up to a relatively high-spec PC. If you’re after the most luxurious of virtual reality experiences, you’re going to want to invest in a Valve Index headset. But, right now, it’s still a great way to experience the joys of VR, wireless or otherwise. The Meta Quest 2’s price has recently gone up by $100/£100 which makes it a little less competitive than it once was. An experimental feature, Air Link, adds wireless PC streaming connectivity, though results may vary between games. This is thanks to the Meta Quest 2’s flexible support for additional wired gameplay through a PC. And, for those really invested in the virtual reality scene, it will even work with titles originally designed exclusively for PC VR players. Its screen isn’t the sharpest, but its wireless nature makes it one of the simplest to use and most comfortable to wear. It’s powerful enough to run some of the most enticing VR experiences without breaking the bank, and taps into Oculus’s impressive library of exclusive virtual reality titles, including the Quest 2 exclusive Resident Evil 4 VR. Relatively affordable, this wireless headset has everything you need to get into VR gaming right out of the box, without the need for a PC.
