About Sony PSVR 2

As we are not anywhere near any official release date of Sony’s PSVR 2, there are only a very few things known about the upcoming VR headset. The first that we have with us is about its controllers. It is thought that the new Sony VR will have wholly redesigned controllers which incorporate the unique features from PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller.

I think this adjustment will be made because the current PSVR still uses the PlayStation Move controllers, which came out during the PlayStation 3’s lifespan.

Secondarily, it is possible that the new system will connect to the PlayStation 5 via a single wire as initially there was a lot of wire clutter that created a problem while VR gaming. To get hold of some more information, we have to wait from Sony’s side to get something for its PlayStation fans.

PSVR 2 Release Date

If we talk about the Sony PSVR 2 release date, then according to all the information coming from Sony and all around, it can be said that the PSVR 2 will release will be on 22nd May 2024. This was expected from what all is going around regarding the PlayStation 5 sales as Sony focuses its production of the PlayStation 5 console, which many consumers are still desperate to obtain.

We have seen that as far as the PSVR 2’s release date goes, Sony is probably more concerned with getting enough PS5 consoles in the hands of consumers.

In the past, we have seen that the original PSVR was released nearly three years after the PS4 launched but it is not a sure thing that they will take the same amount of time this time too.

There might be an increase in the price compared to Sony’s previous VR headset because the PSVR 2 will likely boast a handful of intuitive designs, choices, and features that can be considered the factor behind its price increase if there will be any.
