Kind of off-topic but this is the sorta thing that re-enforces why I buy games on PC instead of buying games on consoles outside of exclusives:

PlayStation VR2 Won't Support Backwards Compatibility with PSVR Games - News

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/454915/playstation-vr2-wont-support-backwards-compatibility-with-psvr-games/

Personally this is the type of move that is unnecessary imo. If PCs can run VR games in a wide variety of headsets, so can Playstation. It just comes down to the priories of platform holder and that is why my trust in console makers went out the window a long time ago.

Well, to be fair my current PC VR headset (HP Reverb G2) is also incompatible to some games I bought for my Oculus Rift.
Some developers added WMR support, others didn't. Some Oculus store games work with "Revive", others don't.

So let's wait, what the developers of popular PSVR1 games will do:

  • port their PSVR1 game to PSVR2 for free (free upgrade for owners of the PSVR1 version)
  • port their PSVR1 game to PSVR2 for a small upgrade price (f.e. as DLC with PSVR2 controls and higher resolution)
  • port their PSVR1 game to PSVR2 for the full price (no discounts for owners of the old version)
  • don't port their PSVR1 game to PSVR2
