News hardware PSVR2: No new virtual reality headset for Sony before 2023?
Published on 04/06/2022 at 18:03
Sony particularly insisted on its next games in virtual reality during its last State of Play. With Resident Evil Village, The Walking Dead, Horizon and No Man’s Sky as headliners, the PSVR catalog will once again be enriched with great releases. But what players are waiting for is mostly news from PSVR2. In this regard, a recent leak could indicate an exit window for the headset dedicated to virtual reality.
Games galore… but no support
Sony recently held its latest State of Play dated. The opportunity for players to discover some of the new features of the Playstation catalog. Despite Resident Evil 4 Remake headlining, the announcements put more emphasis on virtual reality with images of the VR edition of Resident Evil Village, The Walking Dead : Saints & Sinners – Chapitre 2, No Man’s Sky and finally Horizon : Call of the Mountain.
If all these games are already available on PSVR or should be released soon on Sony’s dedicated virtual reality headset, some of these titles are scheduled for PSVR2 at an undetermined date. And for good reason : Sony’s new headphones don’t have a release date yet. A situation caused, like the lack of console stocks, because of the component crisis. But regarding a potential release date, It is possible that Sony has let slip a key information.
PSVR2 : Coming 2023
It’s certain The ticket granted to The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 on the Playstation Blog that one could read the mention “scheduled for Meta Quest and PSVR in 2022 – and PSVR2 in 2023”. The mention has since been changed, but it seems that Sony, or rather Skydance Interactive, has spilled the beans on the release of the giant’s latest VR headset.
This news, undoubtedly disappointing for some, remains quite logical while several industry players had already announced its date unofficially. This is particularly the case of Ross Young, president of Display Display Supply Chain Consultants, who announced the headset’s release date last April. According to the person concerned, PSVR2 should be available in the first quarter of 2023. We are therefore awaiting an official date from Sony, information which could be communicated very quickly in view of the trade shows which will take place shortly.
