PSVR 2, PlayStation’s next-gen VR headset, will be coming sometime in early 2023.
According to multiple PlayStation social media sites across Twitter and Instagram, the next-gen PlayStation VR headset has locked in a release window sometime in the early months of next year.
The window was confirmed on PlayStation’s official Instagram account as well as numerous PlayStation regional Twitter accounts from France and Brazil.
PSVR 2 is Sony’s next virtual reality headset. According to Sony, PSVR 2 will feature an OLED display with 2000×2040 pixels per eye and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It utilizes inside out eye tracking and will have 110 degree field of view.
Sony also announced that PSVR 2 will have over 20 games at launch. The company is also developing exclusive VR games for the headset including Horizon: Call of the Mountain, based on the popular Horizon series.
While the specs of the PSVR 2 can rival that of the Oculus Quest 2 and Valve Index, it is still a wired headset and requires a PlayStation 5 to operate. These factors could become hurdles when compared to the wireless Meta headsets, though those did receive a price bump earlier this year.
