Sony’s Project Morpheus VR headset has been given the official name PlayStation VR, a move which aligns the headset with the leading gaming brand.
“The name PlayStation VR not only directly expresses an entirely new experience from PlayStation that allows players to feel as if they are physically inside the virtual world of a game, but it also reflects our hopes that we want our users to feel a sense of familiarity as they enjoy this amazing experience,” said Masayasu Ito, EVP, Division president of PS Product Business and VP, Software Design Division.
“We will continue to refine the hardware from various aspects, while working alongside 3rd party developers and publishers and SCE Worldwide Studios, in order to bring content that deliver exciting experiences only made possible with VR.”
At the Tokyo Game Show this morning Sony also announced a number of games which will support PlayStation VR, including Final Fantasy 14 Online, RIGS, Kitchen and Playroom VR.
Sony also said to “look out for more news on PlayStation VR in the coming months”. Let’s hope that includes news on a release date and pricing, with Sony previously stating it aims to launch the consumer VR experience in the first half of 2016.
