PSVR 2 owners will be in good hands with the PS5 Pro it seems, as was confirmed by Sony's Mark Cerny.

Chatting to Cnet, the PS5 Pro's lead system architect confirmed that because of the mid-gen console's improved GPU, PSVR 2 games should benefit greatly. Cerny specifically outlines improvements to resolution and the use of "Sony's AI upscaling that will work with all VR games." Presumably, this means that PS5 Pro's bespoke PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (or PSSR for short) as outlined in the PS5 Pro specs will play a part here.

It's something of a relief to see that PSVR 2 hasn't been forgotten in the PS5 Pro mix. And rightly so; that's a $549 / £529 VR headset and what's about to be a $699.99 / £699.99 console. If I'm investing that much into the PlayStation 5 ecosystem, I'd hope that all the devices benefit each other when it comes to performance improvements.
