PlayStation’s Jim Ryan has revealed that the PS5 will get a successor to PSVR in the future that will be a very different setup to the company’s original attempt at joining the Virtual Reality circus. In an announcement on the PS Blog, and during an interview with GQ, Ryan stated this will be a whole new VR format, with just the one cord planned to connect it to the console (among the biggest bugbears with PSVR was the plethora of wires you could easily trip over).
