PSVR 2 is the next-generation VR headset from Sony that'll work entirely with PS5. It follows in the footsteps of the original PlayStation VR headset, which launched back in 2016 for the PS4. The PlayStation VR 2 is believed to be launching towards the end of 2022, but supply chain issues might push this back to 2023.
The Playstation VR2 will be Sony’s second virtual reality headset, following the release of the first PlayStation VR in 2016. Unlike the previous model, which was designed to work with the PS4, the second headset is aimed at being a companion for the PS5. It’ll be equipped with an OLED display with a resolution of 2000x2040 per eye, support for frame rates up to 120Hz, and can connect to the console with a single USB-C cable.
Sony’s PS VR2 will start mass production and will ship about 1.5 million units in the second half of 2022, according to reliable industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. According to Kuo, Sony may launch the virtual reality headset in the first quarter of 2023 depending on the development schedule of PS VR2 games. Sony had announced the headset in February this year. Users will need a PlayStation 5 console to use the PS VR2.
