Sony Interactive Entertainment announced bad news yesterday PSVR 2 is not backward compatible, but according to a new report by a trusted insider, “tons” of developers are making PSVR 2 versions of PSVR 1 games. YouTuber PSVR Without Parole, noted for its PSVR 2 report, responded to Twitter followers who expressed disappointment with the lack of backwards compatibility, saying that as we speak, PSVR 2 versions of some older games claimed to be in development. However, they did not reveal the title.
Why isn’t PSVR 2 backwards compatible?
But I do! As we speak, many developers are working on his PSVR2 version of the PSVR1 game!

According to Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President of Platform Experiences at PlayStation, PSVR 2 is too advanced for older games, so the company is committed to delivering a true next-generation experience. He said:
PSVR games are not compatible with PSVR 2 as PSVR 2 is designed to deliver a true next-gen VR experience. PSVR has much more advanced features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, an all-new controller with inside-out eye tracking, 3D audio and, of course, HDR.
Sony can afford to ditch the original PSVR headset, too. Despite surpassing the company’s expectations, the negative impact is minimal as it remains a niche product with a limited audience – PSVR 1 is as close to his PS4 as the install base is too is also important and not unavoidable.
PSVR Without Parole didn’t reveal which games are being remade for PSVR 2, but we assume hits like Astro Bot Rescue Mission are rock. Update to our readers.
In other news, EA has admitted that Battlefield 2042 has strayed a little too far from the franchise, and Resident Evil 4 Remake is also heading to PS4.
