Starting at £529/$549/€599 and with limited availability, PSVR2 is not a casual purchase. Now, with PS5, we have a companion VR headset that brings cutting-edge technology to the console with a more affordable price-point. Then there was Sony - launched in 2016, PSVR offered owners of PS4 consoles an opportunity to step into the world of virtual reality. Over the next few years, however, the market began to fragment - Oculus transitioned from its own proprietary PC storefront to standalone hardware, while high-end PC software diminished in step with the huge cost of the latest headsets. In 2012 - with a duct-taped prototype in hand, John Carmack demonstrated what was possible: an incredible sense of presence and immersion for PC gamers.

Still, we’d say the differences are fairly minor and both version look pretty fantastic inside the headset. While the Quest 2 version generally appears sharper, PSVR does have some more dynamic lighting effects which seem to be missing on Quest 2 - you can see an example of the difference in the thumbnail for the YouTube video comparison embedded above. However, there are a few differences to look out for, if you’ve got a keen eye. The differences between the two are, in the grand scheme of things, pretty negligible - the game’s diorama environments are quite beautiful to behold on both headsets.

The footage above is taken from the opening 10 minutes of the game, captured on Quest 2 and PSVR connected to a PS5 console. Naturally, we had to capture some video from both versions of Moss: Book II and see how they stack up against each other. However, Quest 2 was confirmed soon after and released on the platform today. While the sequel released earlier this year, it was only available on PSVR at launch. Moss: Book II is a follow up and continuation of the fantastic VR platformer Moss, developed by Polyarc and available across all VR platforms.
