It’s trying increasingly more like Sony has given up on the way forward for their digital actuality peripheral as dozens of patents have left their fingers and into the fingers of Meta.
A staggering 43 US patents have been transferred, in keeping with ZDNet Korea (through Highway To VR) between June and simply final month. These patents vary from XR glasses to data processing that’s particular to XR apps. Furthermore, these aren’t simply latest patents, they vary from 2022 all the way in which to again in 2010.
These 43 patents isn’t the tip of it, both — removed from it. An anticipated 419 patents are anticipated to swap fingers, with 180 being US and the remaining from different areas like Japan, China, Europe, and Korea.
If that is Sony attempting to distance themselves from VR and the broader world of XR as a complete, then they’ve been kinda doing it already. It’s no secret that whereas there’s enjoyable available with the PSVR 2 even in 2026, Sony’s first-party assist of the peripheral has been lackluster at finest.
Moreover, Sony won’t view the PSVR in the identical gentle as they as soon as did. As a reminder, you should buy a PSVR 2 adaptor from them to get it engaged on PC. Regardless of the future holds, I wouldn’t maintain your breath for a PSVR 3.
