Sony’s next-generation PlayStation VR will be wireless according to a new patent

All eyes may be on Sony and the PlayStation 5 currently, but what about the next generation in virtually real gaming hardware? Whether you were a day one convert or the mere thought of strapping a hunk of plastic to transmit visuals directly to your bobble-headed brain makes you want to reach for an upchuck-bucket, there’s no denying that the PlayStation VR has been a fantastic piece of disruptive technology. There may be room for improvement, but thanks to games such as Astrobot and Blood and Truth, the system is starting to shine. So what does the future hold in store for PlayStation VR? A hefty upgrade by the sound of things. As spotted by Inverse, new patents for the next-gen PlayStation VR won’t just throw some better hardware into the mix, but a few quality of life improvements as well. According to the patents, next-gen PlayStation VR will have better eye and head tracking technology, support a resolution of 2560×1440 and throw in a 220-degree field of view for good measure. There are also details on a 120-hertz refresh rate, but the best bit of tech may be the fact that this headset can be used wirelessly.
