Stuff Awards 2023: Gaming Gadget of the Year

The PSVR2 had a lot stacked up against it at its launch end of this year: an asking price greater than the PS5 console you need to run it; a lack of backwards compatibility with games for the original PSVR; and simply a lack of new games overall. Yet Sony’s revamped virtual reality headset had us entranced with the myriad improvements it offered over its predecessor. The simple one-cable setup, grown-up Sense controllers and gorgeous 2000x2040 OLED display all represent massive generational glow-ups – and thankfully the supply of VR titles has already grown substantially since launch day. It’s still an expensive add-on for an expensive console, but its potential is clearly massive.
