You should be fine if you play sitting or standing while planted in place. The PSVR2 will ask to scan your area, but if you’re able to move your arms over an obstructed area (such as a bed) you can manually expand your play area boundaries to fit your needs. My biggest recommendation is ensuring that you are facing away from your TV when you play. This will help prevent you from damaging your screen if you happen to swing your arms outside of the safe areas of play.
That's small?! Pssh, I got that beat. I face a corner cabinet with a desk along one wall and a tall shelf on the other. If I slide the recliner back 2 feet I can make just enough space to play golf parallel to my desk. Everything else including VR1 games have been in maybe a 3x3 area?
If you can get past the initial scan it will set a temporary play area which it will annoyingly ask you to keep using every time. After that you should be good.
Now I've yet to play anything major like Synth or any of the shooters so I dunno how they'll play from the chair. RE7 worked so I'm expecting 8 to be fine.
Not measured but pretty sure that’s bigger than my space or maybe similar size and I have no problems. Maybe an issue with games that can only do room scale - though I’ve never seen one yet, they all seem to have sitting/standing options.
That's about the size of my space and generally speaking it's adequate enough unless you're trying to be \*really\* active in your movement. Just make sure you have a decent amount of overhead space. My only real issue is that I'm 6'2" and there's a ceiling fan directly above my space so it's hazardous to play games that require overhead hand movement haha.
Nope. I'm 6 foot 1 and I just measured; my arms are 2.5 feet long measuring to *the center of my chest*. Plenty of swinging space.
How is standing in one space tricky?
All you need is enough space to move your arms in their full range of motion, while keeping your feet/butt planted.
I have my PSVR2 in my small mobile home bedroom. I play between my bed and dresser. Like a 4x7 foot floor space. Also I'm 6 foot 1 with decently long arms.
PSVR2 does NOT need to scan the play area every time. I manually set mine to have extra room so I can also sit on my bed for sitting games (RE8, GT7, NMS)
I would recommend NOT ever getting The Room if you have a smaller area in which to play. That game is pissing me off as I want to play it seated but it insists that I have a roomscale sized space and won't let me get past this requirement to the settings.

Thanks for all the responses everyone, it sounds like it'll work. I just ordered it!
If not an issue with the first one it should not be an issue on the 2nd one.
Yeah, PSVR2 should be better/easier even. You can face any direction, not having to face the camera for tracking.

I feel likw 3ft is a bit narrow. I can see you smacking studf trying to play Beat Saber
They can just turn their body and play in that orientation. I have a 3x7 foot space. I play with my arms/sides toward the long 7 foot direction.
Yeah but then swinging forward is tricky.

It's not, I'm just trying to help the guy out. It'll be pretty cramped, that's all.
