WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT?
Using PlayStation VR, you can discover incredible educational and gaming experiences as you are transported to new worlds. Take flight, do battle, enjoy a concert experience, and even go on deep sea adventures!
TRY IT YOURSELF!
Prepare yourself by putting the PS4 Controller near you and familiarize yourself with the headset. Once ready, put on headset and use the dial to create a comfortable fit. Put on headphones last.
(If the headset is not turned on already, press the top ON button located on the wire connected to the headset)
