Select Go to Play Area Setup for PS VR2 > Play Area.

What are the play area types?

There are two types of play areas to enjoy your VR games:

Custom
Create your own play area. This requires a play area that's 1 m by 1 m (3 ft 4 in. by 3 ft 4 in.) or larger. Use your controller to draw the boundary lines of your play area.

Quick
Play on the spot. Choose this play area type if you can't set a play area size required by Custom. Just make sure you have room to move your PS VR2 Sense controller freely.
