PlayStation VR2: Release date, launch games, price, and more

Sony was the first of the console manufacturers to really give virtual reality a shot when it made the first PlayStation VR unit for the PS4. While impressive for the price, there were a lot of drawbacks: Players didn’t like having to use controllers from the PS3 generation, the camera tracking wasn’t great, and the resolution left much to be desired. Despite all of that, PS VR ended up being one of the bestselling headsets on the market.

Seeming to take all the lessons learned from the PS VR, as well as looking at what advancements other headsets have made, Sony unveiled the new PlayStation VR2. Initially just a blog post, Sony has slowly been trickling out more and more information on the upcoming addition to the PS5. Some of the major questions we have are still up in the air, but there is plenty of information floating around to get excited about. Here’s everything we know about the PlayStation VR2 so far.

PlayStation VR2 hasn’t been given a date nor a window of release as of now. There’s a lot of speculation that it could come sometime at the end of 2022, but we feel like early- to mid-2023 is far more likely. Not only would this let Sony get more PS5 stock into people’s hands, but the company could also attempt to build up a larger stock of this new unit so that we don’t have another situation where people who want one can’t get their hands on it for months or even years.

Sony has stated that the PlayStation VR2 will ship with over 20 games at launch. We’ve seen a handful of VR titles teased by Sony, but there’s no definite list of which ones will be available on day one.

We feel that Horizon Call of the Mountain, a first-party title and the first game we saw for PS VR2, is a good bet to be one of those launch
