Sony PlayStation: PS VR2 Will Not Launch Until 2023, Says Analyst
According to an industry expert, Sony’s PS VR2 headset won’t be available until next year.
PlayStation VR2 information is being released at a considerable pace. Barely over three months ago, its technical specs and Horizon Call of the Mountain were unveiled. The latter is the first game presently in development to utilize the PS VR2 headset.
The unveiling of Sony’s new virtual reality glasses happened last February. Some developers even had a chance to play with them during GDC last March. But what about the release date? The company has yet to reveal this information.
2023 Launch Date?
It was expected that PS VR2 will be released this year, but Sony hasn’t spoken anything about it yet. Recently though, Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO and analyst Ross Young’s new tweet has diminished our optimism about the 2022 release date prediction.

He claims that the release of PlayStation VR2 will not happen until 2023. This means that Sony might have originally scheduled to sell the VR headset this year, but it did not materialize.
The fact that an industry expert took the initiative to publicize the delay of Sony’s virtual reality headgear – which would also affect Apple, by the way – strongly suggests that PlayStation VR2 will surely not be released until 2023. It’s still unclear since Sony hasn’t officially announced it, so we’ll have to wait for more information from the company on when it will be available.

In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
