Best VR headset
Trying to find the best VR headset can be intimidating, especially if you're new to virtual reality systems. However, today's VR technology is a lot more approachable than in years past, and manufacturers are offering top VR headset setups at affordable prices. For PC gamers, the HTC Vive is among the best VR headsets out there, with its impressive combination of visual and audio components. But because it's for PC users only, gamers looking for PS4 VR headsets or PS5 VR headsets need to consider other options. Types The cheapest VR headsets are goggles that use a separate display, such as a phone or a Nintendo Switch, to play VR games purchased on the device. However, the best VR headsets include a screen of their own for the ultimate VR experience, and tether gameplay from a gaming PC or console. Space needed for VR Keep in mind that VR headset systems typically require space for the user to move around in, so use your headset in an area with plenty of space. Controllers Many VR headsets come with controllers that let the user interact with their in-game environment, ultimately adding to the immersion of the VR experience. Display resolution A VR headset's display resolution refers to the level of detail that the screen in the headset can reproduce. The higher the display resolution in a given VR headset, the more realistic the VR is going to look. Comfortable fit VR headsets typically weigh more than an average pair of goggles because they contain a full screen. This can cause strain on the user during long gaming sessions, so find a VR headset that fits comfortably. VR headsets with fabric straps tend to be more comfortable than those with plastic or rubber straps, although the latter two are easier to clean. Device compatibility Be sure your VR headset is compatible with the gaming device to which you plan to tether it. While the top VR headsets usually tether to a gaming PC, others can be used with PlayStation consoles and the like. A cheap VR headset setup can also act as goggles for playing VR games on your mobile device. Depending on what you're looking for in a VR headset, the range of prices can vary quite widely. If you're looking for a cheap VR headset to use with VR apps or mobile games, you can find them for less than $100 per pair, while spending between $4 and $50 for the games. However, if you're looking for a tethered VR headset, you can expect to spend between $300 and $1,100. Do VR headsets need a PC? A. While you don't necessarily need a PC to use a VR headset, having a gaming PC is probably the most high-quality way to experience VR. However, PlayStation users can also get a PS4 VR headset or PS5 VR headset, and those looking to play VR games on a budget can find solutions that work with phone apps, Nintendo Switch or other devices. How long can you use a VR headset? A. While every individual will be affected differently by a VR headset, it's important for all VR users to remember to take breaks often. Some users have reported feeling dizzy and nauseated from playing VR for too long. Be aware of how your body is feeling while playing, and don't forget to drink a lot of water. Top VR headset HTC Vive Cosmos Elite Virtual Reality System What you need to know: For any buyers who already have a high-end gaming PC, this PC VR headset from HTC is among the best available, offering top-notch virtual reality experiences. What you'll love: This model's hyper-realistic graphics and powerful headset audio are part of the reason the HTC Vive Cosmos is considered a modern VR standard. Other users appreciate the 2880 x 1700 resolution display and precise motion controls. What you should consider: This VR headset is more expensive than some other models. It isn't designed for use with Xbox or PlayStation consoles. Top VR headset for the money BNext VR Headset What you need to know: If you're looking to play VR games on your phone rather than tethering to another device, this cheap VR headset from BNext lets you play just about any mobile VR game while using your phone as the display. What you'll love: This VR goggle set fits most iPhones, Android phones and other smartphones, offering a decent VR goggle view at a very affordable price. What you should consider: This VR headset is not compatible with PCs, PS4s or PS5s. It also isn't made for VR on Nintendo Switch, although similar devices for the Switch can be found.

EA Shutting Down Beloved PS4, PS3 Game After 12 Years
Electronic Arts is finally shutting down online servers for an acclaimed 2013 PS3, PS4 game after 12 years. Frankly, we're a bit surprised that multiplayer was still alive, but it won't be by the end of this year. According to a notice on both EA's website and Need for Speed: Rivals official PS Store page, online servers will be sunset on October 7, 2025. Other affected platforms include Xbox, EA App, and Steam. Since Need for Speed: Rivals can be played offline, we don't think the game will eventually be delisted. But if you want to try it before it's potentially pulled, it costs $19.99 on the PS Store and has one free DLC pack: Koenigsegg One:1 vehicle. There's also a Complete Edition for $29.99, and while there's no discount on any of the above at this time, EA Play members can play Need for Speed: Rivals as part of their subscription at no additional cost. All that said, we do want to warn trophy hunters that the game comes with online trophies. If that bothers you, now is a good time to make some progress towards them. The post EA Shutting Down Beloved PS4, PS3 Game After 12 Years appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.

I use this arcade stick every day — and it's now on sale for $200 off in this last-minute Amazon Prime Day deal
Amazon Prime Day officially ends at midnight tonight, so now's your last chance to save on anything you've had your eye on. This is especially true for fighting game fans who've wanted a new arcade stick but couldn't justify paying the usual lofty prices. Thankfully, my favorite arcade stick is on sale for a huge discount. Right now, Amazon is selling the Victrix Pro FS for $200. That's not exactly cheap, but at $200 off, this is the lowest price to date. I've tested a lot of the best fight sticks, but none can match the Victrix Pro FS in terms of design, performance and upgradeability. Many fighting game professionals swear by this peripheral, and I use it nearly every day, so it certainly comes with my highest recommendation. The Victrix Pro FS epitomizes arcade stick excellence thanks to its all-aluminum frame, responsive Sanwa Denshi parts, phenomenal performance and helpful quality-of-life features. This is the ultimate arcade stick, and a must-have at this incredibly low price. The Victrix Pro FS is compatible with PS4, PS5 and PC. Like I said in my Victrix Pro FS review, this controller delivers the ultimate arcade stick experience. It packs features its competitors lack, including an all-aluminum body and a removable joystick. It's the perfect arcade stick to use at home or your local tournament. The responsive Sanwa Denshi joystick and buttons are a joy to play on. They let you pull off both subtle and complex moves with little effort, making this controller feel like an extension of your hands. Thanks to the easy-to-open hatch on the controller's underside, it's simple to swap out these parts if you want or need to replace them. There's even a place to keep the detachable joystick inside the controller. The aluminum chassis makes it easier to move your hands around, and the angled wrist slope and foam padding underneath also do their part to make this controller feel comfortable to play on and keep on your lap (respectively). And when you're not using it, it's simple to store it inside the included cloth cover. I typically have a hard time recommending the Victrix Pro FS since it's so expensive. However, thanks to this incredible Amazon Prime Day sale, I can emphatically tell every fighting game fan to get this peripheral right now. This is truly a work of art due to its gorgeous design, responsive parts, quality-of-life features and excellent gaming performance. For more deals, check out our Amazon Prime Day deals live blog right now.
