PlayStation VR 2

The PlayStation VR2 may slip or slide down your face, especially if you have to move around a lot in certain games. This can be somewhat annoying as the virtual reality headset has a small sweet spot in terms of sharpness. So, if that spot gets slightly off-centered, then the graphics will become blurrier.

To see how you can prevent the PS VR2 from slipping or sliding, you can check out this guide from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you should make sure that the head band is securely enough. To tighten it, rotate the headband adjustment dial located at the back clockwise.

Be careful not to tighten it too much. If it feels like the virtual reality headset is squeezing your head, then press the headband release button to loosen it and then tighten it again until you reach an equilibrium in terms of comfort and stability.

2. Furthermore, you can try pulling the scope inner towards your face as well.

To do so, press and hold the scope adjustment button located on the top right side and then push the scope inwards.

3. You can also try wearing a sweat band as it will absorb any sweat from your forehead. As a result, the PlayStation VR2 won’t lose its grip due to a slippery skin.

To find out more about how you can prevent sweat from getting inside the PS VR2, you can take a look at our previous post.

4. If you don’t have a headband available, then you can try wearing a baseball cap backwards. The bill of the back should provide additional support on the backside of the VR headset.

5. You can also try using headphones instead of ear buds or earphones. The bigger ear cups should prevent the PS VR2 from slipping or sliding as it should make the sides of the VR headset more stable.

If you don’t see an image when using the PlayStation VR2, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting guide from Seeking Tech to see how you can resolve this issue.

1. For the first step, you should make sure that you press the power button located at the bottom of the scope. The power indicator located at the front of the scope should turn solid white.

2. If you aren’t seeing anything while wearing the headset while the headset is powered on, then you should try re-connecting the accessory by doing the following:

• Completely turn off your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition.
• Unplug the PlayStation VR2 from the USB C port of your console.
• Re-plug the virtual reality headset back into the USB C port on the PS5.
• Turn your PS5 back on.
• Turn on the PS VR2.

3. There is an attachment sensor located inside of the headset. You should make sure that the sensor is clean; otherwise, it may not be able to detect whether or not you are currently wearing the PlayStation VR2.

To clean the sensor, use a dry, lint-free cloth.

4. Hair and head accessories may also make the attachment sensor to be inaccurate. Therefore, you should make sure that only your bare face is inside the light shield.

Keep in mind that the PlayStation VR2 supports glasses. So, you should be fine if you need to wear glasses with this product.

5. Make sure that the USB cable is securely connected on both ends.

On the PlayStation VR2, the proprietary USB port is located in between the scope and light shield. You will need to pull the scope outwards to find it.

6. If possible, try to plug another accessory in to the USB C port of your PlayStation 5.

If the other accessory isn’t working as well, then you may need to send your console in for repair due to a faulty USB C port.

7. You can also try using your PlayStation VR2 headset on another PS5 if possible.

If the virtual reality headset isn’t showing an image when used on another console, then you may need to send the accessory in for repair.

When playing with the PlayStation VR2, the headset may keep turning off. To see how you can potentially fix this power problem, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. The first step you can take is to inspect the USB connection between the PS VR2 and PS5. You should make sure that this connecting is securely plugged in on both ends.

To find the USB connection on the virtual reality headset, you need to move the scope outwards. You should then see the PlayStation symbols on the plug located in between the scope and light shield.

2. Using an extension cable may cause the headset to shut off at random times.

Therefore, we recommend that you avoid using any extensions and, instead, simply connect your PlayStation VR2 headset directly to the PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.

3. There is also a possibility that the virtual reality headset may be overheating.

To see how you can prevent the temperatures from rising too high while you are using the PS VR2, you can check out our previous guide.

4. If you haven’t done so already, you should check to see if you have the latest system software update installed on your PS5.

To manually check, you can go to the Settings of the gaming system and then select System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

A new update may fix the power issue of your PS VR2.

5. If possible, you can try plugging in a different USB C device into your PS5 to see if the other device can function without any issues.

If you are also having problems with other USB C accessories, then the USB C port of your console may be faulty. In this case, you will need to get it repaired.

6. You can also try testing the PlayStation VR2 on a different PS5 if possible.

If the headset is also shutting off randomly on another console, then there may be a hardware issue with the VR headset. In this scenario, you will need to get the PlayStation VR2 repaired.

If the PlayStation VR2 isn’t turning on when you press the power button, then you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see how you can potentially fix this issue.

1. For the first step, you can try restarting your PS5 by taking the following steps:

• Unplug the PS VR2 from your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.
• Restart your PS5 by pressing the PS button, selecting the Power option located at the bottom menu and then selecting Restart PS5.
• Connect the PS VR2 to the USB Type-C port of the PS5 again.
• Press the power button on the PS VR2.

2. If your virtual reality headset still won’t turn on, then you should make sure that you aren’t using any extension cable to connect it to your PS5. Instead, the PS VR2 should be directly connected to the console.

3. You should also check to see if the USB cable is securely connected to the PlayStation VR2 headset.

In order to do so, pull the scope of the headset all the way out. You should then be able to find the USB connection between the scope and light shield.

If the connection appears to be loose, then try to push it inwards.

4. If the PS VR2 still won’t turn on, then you can try using it on another PlayStation 5 console if possible. If the accessory is able to power on just fine on a different system, then there may be something wrong with the USB Type-C port of the first PS5.

In this case, you need to repair the USB port of the console.

5. If the PlayStation VR2 does not work on multiple PS5 systems, then there could be something wrong with the hardware of the virtual reality headset.

For this scenario, you will most likely need to send the PS VR2 in to be repaired or replaced.

Your sweat can easily get into the PlayStation VR2 headset when you are playing Beat Saber, Pavlov, Pistol Whip and other games that require a lot of movement. As a result, the lens may fog up and become dirty after sometime.

To see how you can prevent sweat from getting into the PS VR2, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

1. If you haven’t done so already, try to get a fan to blow on your face while you are playing. This should cool down your head, which should prevent most of the sweat from dripping down your forehead.

A fan is also extremely helpful if you are getting motion sickness when playing a virtual reality game.

2. If you are playing during a really warm day, then you can try opening the window or turning on the air conditioner as well.

3. You can also wear a headband before putting on your PlayStation VR2. The headband will help absorb the sweat coming out of your forehead and, therefore, preventing it from dripping down into the headset.

In our case, we use the Pilamor Sports Headbands, which have worked extremely well for us so far as do a great job at keeping sweat out of the PS VR2 despite being quite thin.

If you are interested, you can purchase this product on Amazon with the following link:

3. Of course, we also recommend taking a short break every time you start to sweat.

During your rest, you should remove the virtual reality headset from your head and then wipe off any sweat that may have accumulated on the headrest or other areas inside the PS VR2.

You should also take the opportunity to wipe off any sweat from your face and/or cool down before jumping back into another session.

Once you get used to it, you can easily jump back into the PlayStation VR2 game and adjust your visibility to hit the sweet spot relatively quickly.

When using the cinematic mode of the PlayStation VR2 to play flat screen game or watch flat screen movies, you may notice that the image quality is not as sharp as you would like. To see how you get a sharper picture, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. Before we begin, it is important to note that, although the PlayStation VR2 has been advertised to output at 4K, it is not the same 4K resolution you see on a television screen. Instead, the sharpness of the image quality that you see through the lenses of the PS VR2 headset is closer to 1080p.

2. The image quality will also be at the clearest in the middle of the flat screen in cinematic mode. As a result, the picture will get blurrier as you look closer to the edges.

If you want the edge of the screen to look clearly, then you have to manually tilt your head towards that direction.

3. If the cinematic mode appears to be extremely blurry, then you try re-adjusting the lenses of your virtual reality headset.

Keep in mind that the PlayStation VR2 has a small sweet spot that can easily be misaligned with the slightest of head movements, which would lead to a blurrier than expected picture output.

To adjust the visibility when using this VR headset, press the PS button while wearing the PS VR2 to open the Control Center quick menu. From there, select the PlayStation VR2 Quick Settings option. Afterwards, select the Adjust Visibility from the small menu. Finally, follow the on-screen instructions to improve the clarity of the image.

4. In some games or apps, you may be able to change the resolution of the graphics or videos. Doing so may lead to better sharpness.

For games, see if you are able to change the Graphics Mode to Resolution, Fidelity or something similar. When it comes to videos, check to see if there is an option to change to a higher resolution.

5. You should also make sure that the lens of the PlayStation VR2 are clean as oil from your hair and/or face may have smudge them.

To clean, we recommend that you use a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe. Avoid using water or any cleaning solution as these could strip away the coating that was applied to the lenses.

6. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you have the latest firmware updated for your PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition console as a new update may improve the overall image quality of the PlayStation VR2 headset.

To update your console’s firmware, you can open the Settings menu of your PlayStation 5 and then select System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

You may encounter some screen flicker when using the cinematic mode while using the PlayStation VR2. To see how you can potentially fix these problems with this virtual reality headset, you can check out this troubleshooting post from Seeking Tech.

1. To start off, you should make sure that the VR headset is directly connected to the USB Type-C port that is located on the front side of the console. If you are using an extension cord, then it may be causing issues with the data transfer, which could result in the flickering errors.

2. You should also make sure that the USB cable is securely connected to the USB Type-C port of the PS5 as well as your headset. If the connection appears to be loose on the PS VR2, then you can try pushing it into the port.

3. If you haven’t done so already, you can try restarting the game or app where you are experiencing the flickering issues.

4. Furthermore, you can also try restarting your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.

5. Make sure that the game, app or console have been updated as well.

To update a game or app, move the menu cursor over to its icon from the home screen of your PlayStation 5. Afterwards, press the Options button on the controller and then select Check for Update from the small window menu.

To update the firmware of your console, open its Settings menu and then select the following: System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

After updating, check to see if you are play games and watch videos via the PSVR2 cinematic mode without any flickering.

6. You should also check to see if the USB cable is damaged. If it is, then you have to send your entire PlayStation VR2 in to Sony for repair as the connection cable is propriety.

You may notice that the screen may drift when playing a flat screen game or watching a flat screen video by using the PlayStation VR2 headset in cinematic mode. To see how you can fix this drifting issue, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential solution, try to press and hold the Options button on the controller. By doing so, the screen will re-center itself based on your current head position.

2. If the screen is still drifting, then you should check the lighting condition of your room. For the PlayStation VR2 to track your head position accurately, the room should be bright.

With that said, you should make sure you aren’t looking directly into a light source as the headset could end up losing its tracking.

2. If you are looking at a simple blank wall with no discernible features, then the headset may lose track of your head position. In this case, you can try putting some tape or other objects on the wall to see if you are still experiencing the drifting problems in the cinematic mode.

3. You can also try turning on Tracking Support for the VR headset and then look directly at your television set. In order to do so, go to the Settings menu of your PlayStation 5 and then navigate over to Accessories > PlayStation VR2. From there, make sure that you have Tracking Support enabled.

By doing so, a border will be added to your TV, which should give your PS VR2 a reference when it comes to tracking.

4. If you didn’t tighten the back strap of your virtual reality headset tight enough, then it may cause the picture to drift as. In order to tighten, turn the dial on the back clockwise.

5. Make sure you have the latest firmware installed for your PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition console as the new update may improve the tracking of the PlayStation VR2 headset and, therefore, eliminate the drifting problems.

You can manually update the gaming system by going over to the Settings menu and then selecting System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

6. If the virtual reality headset is also drifting when you are playing a PS VR2 game, and you tried all of the aforementioned potential fixes, then there may be a hardware problem.

In this scenario, there is not much else you can do but to contact Sony about potentially getting your headset repaired or replaced.

The cinematic mode of the PlayStation VR2 can be utilized to play flat screen video games and watch flat screen videos. If you aren’t getting any sound or audio while using this mode in the virtual reality headset, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see what you can do to fix your issue.

1. For the first step, we recommend checking the audio output source while you are wearing the PS VR2.

In order to do so, press the PS logo button on the DualSense, Left PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller or Eight PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller to bring up the quick menu. From there, select the Sound icon located at the bottom.

Once you get to the Sound menu, select Output Device and then select your preferred listening device.

2. You should also make sure that the listening device you are using is turned on and hasn’t been muted.

3. Furthermore, you can try connecting your listening device to another electronic to see if it can function without any issues.

4. If you haven’t done so already, try to unplug the listening device and then plug it back in.

5. You should also check the sound settings of the videogame you are playing or app you are using.

Make sure you didn’t mute the volume when you are playing a game.

For videos, you should make sure that the volume slider isn’t moved all the way to the left.

6. If you are still getting no audio or sound while using the cinematic mode with the PlayStation VR2, then you can try using a different listening device.

For best compatibility, you can use the headphones that are connected with the virtual reality headset.

7. If you are using the headphones that are connected to your PS VR2 headset for sound output, then return to the aforementioned Sound menu.

Once you get there, make sure that the Volume slider isn’t all the way to the left as this will mute your sound output.

With the PlayStation VR2, you can play flat screen games and watch flat screen video content. If you want to change the resolution of these games and videos, then you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

Before we start, it is important to note that you won’t be able to change the resolution from the system menu of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console. If you try to do so, you will see that the Resolution setting from the Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output menu is greyed out with the following message:

Can’t change this setting while using your PlayStation VR2.

Therefore, the only way to change resolution is from within the game or app.

If you are playing Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, for example, then you need to go to the Visual Settings menu and then change the Graphics Mode in order to change the resolution of the game.

If you are watching a YouTube video, for instance, then you have to press the X button while the video is playing to open the in-video menu. From there, select Settings and then Quality. You should be able to change the resolution from there.

By increasing the resolution from within the game or app, you should get a sharper image even if the display resolution of the PlayStation VR2 headset remains the same. The higher resolution will get down sampled to the lower resolution, which should end up looking clearer than content with the lower resolution output.
