Change These PSVR2 Settings BEFORE Playing:

PSVR2 is the new virtual reality headset for PS5 from Sony. It has some settings that you should change to make it better. One lets you play regular games at 120HZ, which is faster and smoother.

But it is not on when you start, so you have to turn it on yourself. I will show you how to do that in this PSVR2 settings guide. I hope it is helpful for you!

Setting 1

  • Enable enhanced tracking in ‘accessories’ > ‘PSVR2’. This smooths out any tracking glitches and improves gameplay.

Setting 2

  • Adjust ‘sidetone volume’ under ‘sound’ > ‘audio output’ to hear external audio through your headphones. Great for playing with others nearby.

Setting 3

  • Unlock 120Hz support for cinematic mode by adjusting ‘video output’ after changing ‘120Hz output’ to off in screen settings. Enhances visual quality.

Setting 4

  • Set vibration and trigger effects intensity to strong in ‘accessories’ > ‘controller’ for immersive gameplay. This applies to both Dualsense and VR sense controllers.

Setting 5

  • Adjust the auto-turn-off time for controllers to ‘after 10 minutes’ in ‘system’ > ‘power saving’ to conserve idle battery life.

Setting 6

  • Customize the function button mapping under ‘accessories’ > ‘PSVR2’ submenu for multiplayer convenience. Consider muting the microphone instead of using passthrough mode.
  • Eye Position Calibration: This ensures the headset is properly positioned for your eyes. Go to Settings > Accessories > PSVR2 > Eye Position Calibration.
    • Tracking Camera Calibration: This ensures the camera accurately follows the headset and controllers. Go to Settings > Accessories > PSVR2 > Tracking Camera Calibration.
    • Screen Size & Brightness: You can adjust the virtual screen size and brightness to your liking. Go to Settings > Accessories > PSVR2 > Screen Size & Brightness. 
    • Boundary Display: This displays a virtual grid when you approach the edge of your play area. You can adjust the sensitivity of the boundary display. Go to Settings > System > Accessories > PSVR2 > Play Area. 
    • VR Headset & Controller Vibration: You can adjust the vibration intensity for the headset and controllers. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Controllers > Vibration Intensity.
    • Sidetone Volume: lets you hear your voice through the headset while playing. You can adjust the sidetone volume to your preference. Go to Settings > Sound > Microphone > Adjust Microphone Level > Sidetone Volume.
    • Custom Button Assignments: You can remap the buttons on the PSVR2 controllers to your preference. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Controllers > Button Assignments. 

    Bonus Settings

    • Cinematic Mode Screen Size: Experiment with the screen size for cinematic mode to find your preference.
    • Boundary Display Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity based on your room setup to avoid hitting walls or being warned too soon.
