What was the name of the PlayStation 4's virtual-reality headset?

The PlayStation 4’s virtual-reality headset was called PlayStation VR.

Sony launched the headset in 2016 for use with the PlayStation 4. Before its final branding, the device was publicly known by the development name Project Morpheus. PlayStation VR used a headset-mounted display and tracked the player’s position through the PlayStation Camera, with optional PlayStation Move controllers for supported games.

The product name is distinct from PlayStation VR2, which launched for PlayStation 5 in 2023. The two headsets share the PlayStation VR branding but are different generations with different hardware and connection requirements.

PlayStation VR helped bring console-based virtual reality to a large existing user base. Its game library included first-party and third-party experiences, while some titles offered optional VR modes rather than requiring the headset.
