If you aren’t using the PlayStation VR2, then leaving it out in the open can damage the expensive accessory. To see how you can properly store your virtual reality headset, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.
What can happen if you don’t properly store your PS VR2
If you don’t properly store your PlayStation VR2, then you could risk damaging its lenses due to the overexposure to direct sunlight.
Dust particles and other contaminants can also get to the lens, causing visual artifacts if you don’t wipe them off before using your headset. Dust can also end up blocking the ventilation shaft, which is designed to keep the lens from fogging up.
So, if you are aren’t using the virtual reality headset, it is best that you store it properly in order to avoid any potential damage.
Using the retail box
The good news is that packaging box that comes with the PlayStation VR2 can be re-used as a storage box. If you still have it around, then we recommend that you take the following steps:
1. To start off, unplug the PS VR2 from the USB C port of your PlayStation 5.
2. If you have the earphones attached to the earpiece holders, then we suggest that you remove them. Otherwise, the headset may not be able to fit properly in the grooves of the box.
3. If you haven’t done so already, long press the scope adjustment button and then slide the scope all the way in. This is needed to fit the headset into the groove of the retail box.
4. Once you have everything set up, put the headset into its groove in the retail box. Make sure that the earphones aren’t blocking the sides when doing so.
5. Afterwards, carefully put the USB cable in the open space in between the the scope and the headband.
6. If you want to, you can also put the Left PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller and Right PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller into their respective groves.
7. The retail box may not close all the way. If it doesn’t, then you can use one of the white plastic sheets that came in the packaging box as a dust cover.
