- This headset has a low per-eye resolution. 960x1080
- This headset has a high refresh rate. 120 Hz
- This headset uses outside-in tracking that requires external base stations for full tracking capability.

PlayStation VR is the first VR headset to be released by Sony, and the first VR headset to be powered by a video game console. The headset was released as a peripheral for the PlayStation 4, and uses a pair of updated PlayStation Move controllers (originally used for the PS3) as its input mechanism.
As of 2020, Playstation VR was the best-selling VR headset released up to that date, with over 5 million units sold.
