Ryan shared his views on releasing new VR systems to the market. He even added that the potential market for VR is very huge.

In a recent interview with the Japanese media outlet, Nikke, he said, “The next generation VR system is a very strategic opportunity for PS.

I want to continue to provide a high gaming experience to keep the community entertained.”

Sony already announced that the new VR system is coming soon for PS5. However, it refused on calling it PSVR2, which opens up the possibility of the new VR system belonging to a new series.

The headset will feature upgrades to resolution and field of view and will use a simplified one-wire connection to the PS5.

He revealed that owing to PS5’s enormous demand in the community; they are planning to release even more exclusives than the PS4 in the future.
