PlayStation VR2 was released on Wednesday and as spotted by Eurogamer, players on Reddit have been reporting issues with the Sense controllers. Players are noting that in some games, the X button and R2 (which are bound to the right Sense controller) are not being registered as inputs in select games. Of course, anyone who has played a PlayStation game knows X is one of the most prominent buttons along with R2. X is typically used to accept/select things, perform actions, and so on. R2 is typically associated with shooting a gun or accelerating a vehicle amongst other things. So, as you may imagine, this is pretty problematic. If you’re also having this issue, the Reddit thread is filled with various fixes until PlayStation properly addresses the matter. It’s also worth noting that games like Gran Turismo 7, Tetris Effect, Thumper, Pistol Whip, and Kayak VR all seem to work fine as they can either be played with a regular DualSense controller or work fine even if you’re having the input issue.
As with any piece of new technology, issues are bound to happen. It’s the nature of the beast and something early adopters are forced to endure. Whether or not PlayStation will address this issue directly anytime soon remains to be seen, but it seems like some players are still able to enjoy the PlayStation VR2 without interruption.
