PlayStation VR2 will officially be released on February 22, 2023, for $549.99, and pre-orders will begin on November 15.
As revealed by the PlayStation.Blog, PlayStation VR2 will include the PS VR2 headset, PS VR2 Sense controllers, and stereo headphones. There will also be a PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle that will retail for $599.99, and will include everything from the standard edition plus a PlayStation Store voucher code for Horizon Call of the Mountain.
Also launching on February 22 will be the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller charging station, which allows players to charge their controllers “through a simple click-in design, without having to connect to a PS5 console – freeing up the console’s USB ports.”
As for pre-orders, those who live in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg will only be able to pre-order PlayStation VR2 through PlayStation’s online store at direct.playstation.com. While pre-orders begin on November 15, those interested can register today to get ready.
Sony also revealed 11 new titles headed to PS VR2 in 2023, and they include The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Crossfire: Sierra Squad, The Light Brigade, Cities VR – Enhanced Edition, Cosmonious High, Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue, Jurassic World Aftermath Collection, Pistol Whip VR, Zenith: The Last City, After the Fall, and Tentacular.
While we don’t have a full launch line-up quite yet, Sony did confirm that it is “expecting more than 20 titles at launch.”
In our first hands-on with PlayStation VR2, we said that it “thankfully feels like a modern entry into the VR landscape, with top-notch visual fidelity and comfortable ergonomics. Its haptics and adaptive triggers, if implemented well, will be a welcome addition to the immersive experience.”
We also had a chance to try out Horizon Call of the Mountain and Resident Evil Village on PS VR2, and came away impressed. For more, check out how it compares to other VR headsets on the market, including the original PSVR, Valve Index, and the Meta Quest 2.
