PlayStation VR2 takes users

into a new era of virtual gameplay

that is highly interactive and immersive.

- Next month, PlayStation VR2 launches

a new generation of virtual reality experiences

that enable players to feel a greater sense of presence

and escape into worlds like never before.

More than 30 games are currently on track

for the launch window, including much loved franchises

with "Horizon Call of the Mountain,"

"No Man's Sky", and "Resident Evil Village."

Today, I'm excited to announce

that one of our most storied franchises

will be coming to PS VR2 at launch.

"Gran Turismo," a game which has sold more copies

across the series than any other title developed

by PlayStation Studios.

PS VR2 launches globally on February 22nd

and you can pre-order now on playstation.com.

I'm happy to announce that one of the VR games

that defines the medium

is in development for PS VR2, "Beat Saber."

The award-winning and best-selling VR rhythm game

is coming to PlayStation VR2.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce our next step in the journey

to make gaming more accessible, Project Leonardo.

Our code name for a new PS5 accessibility controller kit

that will allow players with disabilities

to play more easily, more comfortably,

and for longer periods.

Project Leonardo is highly customizable, thank you,

and works out of the box,

providing a robust kit of swappable components

and a suite of software options on PS5.

It's a true canvas that enables many gamers

with disabilities to craft their own play experience.

PS5 supply improved towards the end of last year,

and I'm happy to share that December

was the biggest month ever for PS5 console sales,

and that we've now sold more than 30 million units

through to consumers worldwide.

- Today I'd like to share with you our vision,

together with some exciting updates.

Allow me to present you our new brand, Afeela.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

This is a prototype and our new brand, Afeela.

Following this prototype, we will further proceed

with the development to its mass production.

Anticipating to start taking pre-orders

in the first half of 2025,

and start sales within the same year.

The first shipment will be delivered to customers

in North America in spring 2026.

On the exterior,

Media Bar allows the vehicle to interact with the people,

expressing itself by sharing various type of information

to people around it.

Together with our partners and creative communities,

we plan on exploring the possibility

of how Media Bar can create a fun

and exciting mobility interaction.

As safety and security essential to Mobility,

we will integrate Sony's sensors and Honda's safety,

along with other intelligent technologies.

This prototype is equipped with a total of 45 cameras

and sensors inside and outside the vehicle.

Anchor cameras and time of flight sensors

detect the driver's status,

along with the vehicle condition to prevent accidents.

Combining these fencing technologies

with maximum 800 tops high performance resources,

we aim to achieve industry leading automotive

automated drive and advanced driver assistance systems.

And of course,

we also intend to provide best in class entertainment

for our customers.

In addition to movies, games, and music,

we envision a new incoming express using our expertise

of UX and UI technologies.

In order to realize intelligent mobility,

continuous software upgrade

and high performance computing is required for AD, ADAS,

HMI, IVI, and telematics.

To that end,

we will work closely with Qualcomm technologies.

We will utilize their latest associates

from Snapdragon Digital Chassis to realize

next generation Mobility experience.

- Hello everybody.

It's great to be here with you all.

At Epic, we make games like Fortnite,

and at the heart of that is the Unreal Engine.

We're working closely with them to help deliver

connected automotive experiences that lead the way,

not only in visual communications and safety,

but also in entertainment.

In the future, the automobile will become a next generation

destination for social connectivity,

not only for the occupants,

but also their network of friends and colleagues.

Together with Sony and Sony Honda Mobility

we will look forward to bringing forward

new exciting updates on this revolutionary new space.

- What we have shared today is just the beginning.
