Sony har ikke været helt lige så skarpe med bagudkompatibilitet tidligere, og lige nu lurer det store spørgsmål omkring den kommende lancering af PlayStation VR2, nemlig om hvorvidt det nye headset automatisk kan spille alle de originale PlayStation VR-titler.
Men spørger du Sony selv, så er tegnene ikke synderligt betryggende, for de kan hverken be- eller afkræfte at PSVR2 har bagudkompatibilitet overhovedet. Stephen Totilo fra Axios fik muligheden for at snakke med nogle repræsentanter, og de sagde følgende:
"I asked Sony if PSVR2 would be out in 2022 and if it'll be backwards compatible with PSVR titles (something many people asked me to ask them yesterday). Neither was addressed yesterday. Sony PR says they have nothing further to announce at the moment. So stay tuned..."
Hertil skal det siges, at insider Nick Baker også gav sit besyv med, og sagde dette:
"I was told almost a year ago it wouldn't be BC. But maybe they've had time to work it out since? Or maybe add it some time after launch? Would be weird to give away so many VR games that...can't play on the new device"
