It’s been five years since Sony released the first PlayStation VR. Despite its disadvantages, PlayStation VR has become one of the bestselling headsets on the market. After five years of waiting, we got the announcement of PlayStation VR2. Let’s talk a little about the details of this good news.
PlayStation VR2 release date
No exact release date has been given for PS VR2 yet. Although some say it will be introduced towards the end of 2022, the general idea is in the first quarter of 2023. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted the next generation PlayStation VR headset would appear in 2022 alongside headsets from Apple and Oculus after allegedly seeing order details for Taiwanese lens manufacturer Yujingguang from the three companies. But, it later changed its estimation to the first quarter of 2023.
PlayStation VR2 price
We don’t know how much the PS VR 2 will cost as no official information or leaks have been released. Their previous headsets were around $400. It might make sense for the PS VR2 to be in a similar price range. However, when we consider the newly introduced features, there are also presumes that it can make a more expensive exit than the first product.
