"Other features such as the headset's adjustable scope that places the scope area closer or further away from the face and placement of the stereo headphone jack also remain the same, so players will be familiar with it," he added.

While Sony hasn't made many design changes to its VR2 headset, it has added some features to make it more comfortable for long term usage. The company says that it has added a new vent design to the PS VR2 headset to enable airflow for ventilation and to avoid the lenses being clouded by fog. It has also added a lens adjustment dial in order to enable users to match the lens distance between their eyes to optimise their view. Additionally, the company has also made the overall design slimmer and light in weight to make it more comfortable to wear. The VR2 headset also has a new built-in motor for the headset feedback.
As far as availability is concerned, Sony hasn't shared the price and availability of its PlayStation VR2 headset and the PlayStation VR2 controllers yet and there is no word on when they will be up for grabs in the market.
PLAYSTATION VR2 SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES
Notably, Sony had shared details about the features of the PlayStation VR2 at CES 2022. As per the details shared by the company, the PlayStation VR2 will come with an OLED display and offer 4K HDR resolution with a 110-degree field of view. Players will get a display resolution of 2000 2040 per eye and frame rates of up to 120Hz. The headset also comes with eye tracking technology that detects the motion of users' eyes to gather additional input for the game character. "This allows players to interact more intuitively in new and lifelike ways, allowing for a heightened emotional response and enhanced expression that provide a new level of realism in gaming," Sony had said at the time.
Additionally, the company said that the PS VR2 tracks users' movements via integrated cameras embedded in the VR headset. "Your movements and the direction you look at are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera," the company had added the time.
Sony just released its very first PS Now launch title, Shadow Warrior 3. The company via its PlayStation Blog announced that Shadow Warrior 3 will be made available for free on its PS Now game streaming and download service from March 1. That is the same date on when the game will be made available for purchase via traditional means.

This step comes as a bit of a surprise, considering that a lot of leaks and reports suggest that the company is currently working on a full-scale competitor to Microsoft's Game Pass service, which when released will result in the disappearance of PS Now subscription cards from retailers.

This decision is currently being seen as a soft launch and indication of Sony's plans for its new offering, or maybe Sony has just decided to merge its ongoing service with the upcoming service and retain the name. Either way, this is a major win for PS Now subscribers, as now they do not have to wait to reap the benefits.
To recall, Shadow Warrior 3 was previously planned to arrive sometime in 2021. However, developer Flying Wild Hog pushed the release date to give it more time to "sharpen its blades." This pushback was reportedly made to iron out some kinks and bugs, before rolling out the game to the public, and avoid a fiasco similar to Cyberpunk 2077.
Shadow Warrior 3 will be a first-person shooter set in a Neo-Feudal Japan, where you assume control of a corporate enforcer-turned-freelance mercenary to track down and defeat an ancient dragon and demons that you accidentally awakened
