The Sony PlayStation VR 2 is apparently the best platform for certain VR applications (Virtual Reality). A company executive has revealed that the system can even outperform high end PCs that feature the powerful Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU.

The PS VR 2 was found outperforming such a capable desktop PC on the tactical military shooter Pavlov, which is considered the VR version of Counter-Strike. Furthermore, this is just one of the more than 30 launch titles that the Japanese tech giant has for the PlayStation VR 2. This VR title in particular was built for the PC VR systems and was first launched on Steam back in 2017. However, the PSVR 2 version of this title will launch on 22nd February 2023 and will even offer cross play support with PC users.

The CEO of the studio behind the game David Villarreal stated that the Sony VR enabled system is the “pinnacle of virtual reality, especially for shooters.” This statement wasn’t just talking about raw performance. The adaptive triggers on the new PlayStation features adaptive triggers as well, which makes each gun trigger feel distinct and have a different recoil and feel of resistance. Villarreal further added that the VR game runs about 10 percent better on the PS5 and PSVR 2 than it does on a top end PC which features an RTX 3090.

An RTX 3090 alone can cost as much if not more than the console and the VR headset combined. Meaning, this is quite the impressive feat. Apparently, the performance advantage is due to the fact that the system is a console and is capable of more efficient rendering through the foveated rendering. To put things simply, its a simple way of rendering based on the focus of the users eye. In other words, eye tracking technology helps in boosting performance since the system only needs to render the area being focused on in high resolution.
