Don’t worry or feel cheated if you already bought the first version of the PlayStation VR. Main technical characteristics of the helmet will remain the same. But the device will receive a few nice additions that make it significantly easier.

Recall that the owners of the HDR-TV previously had to disable this block and pick up the PlayStation 4 console directly if they wanted to enjoy the expanded color range.
Connecting the headset cable will become more slim and easy. In the original model it is quite heavy, which provides additional loading on the head and neck of the user.
