- Happy 2023.
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.
