Oculus Rift S
Score: 66/100
Sony PlayStation VR
Score: 62/100Rankings
The Oculus Rift S is a PC-powered VR headset featuring OLED panels and external IR tracking for precise 6DoF immersion. Its requirement for a high-end PC, heavier weight, and lack of built-in passthrough limit portability. Best for PC gamers seeking high-fidelity room-scale VR.
The Sony PlayStation VR Marvel's Iron Man Bundle is a ready-to-play package for PS4 (and PS5 with an adapter) that includes the headset, camera, Move controllers, and the Iron Man game. Its older wired hardware and modest 960×1080 per-eye resolution limit visual fidelity, but the all-in-one bundle offers great value for Marvel fans and VR newcomers.
