Not too long ago, VR was considered something simple that you put on a phone for a quick distraction, or something surprisingly complex for those who could afford the lengthy demands of ownership. Sony has created a compelling middle ground by doing what they do best — doing what you really want in your living room. PlayStation VR is a companion for your PlayStation 4 that elevates your current games and helps you explore a whole new way to feel like the character you play.
To fully enjoy this experience, you need more than just take it out of the box. Here’s our complete user guide for all things PSVR!

Introduction to Cinematic Mode
PlayStation VR isn’t just for VR gaming. In fact, everything you can do with PlayStation 4 can be done with PlayStation VR thanks to Cinematic Mode. A wide virtual screen that floats in front of you and fills your eyesight can free you from distractions and may, for some, be the only screen you use to enjoy your PlayStation.
