Upgrade paths

other
Full 6-DOF positional tracking of the headset and two hands · Headset-only SKU tracks head orientation but not position without the PS Camera; aiming and hand presence in most titles need Move controllers too, so the real cost of a usable setup is well above the headset's launch price.
~$60 for PlayStation Camera, ~$50-80 for a pair of PS Move controllers
MODERATE
display
Fixed 5.7in OLED panel at launch resolution · No aftermarket panel or lens upgrade path; later PS5 owners can run PS VR via an adapter cable but resolution and refresh are unchanged from 2016.

LOCKED
other
