Sony has been teasing its upcoming virtual reality headset for several months, though now we have a date. The PlayStation VR2 is launching on February 22, 2023. Priced at $549.99 (around Rs 45,502), the retail package for the PlayStation VR2 will consist of the headset, Sense controllers, and headset, while the Sense controller charging station will be available separately for $49.99 (around Rs 4,135).
The pre-orders for the PlayStation VR2 will begin November 15 this year through Sony’s PlayStation online store in the US, UK, France, and Germany. The upcoming VR title, Horizon Call of the Mountain, will also go on pre-orders later this month. The PS VR2 will also come bundled with the title, available for $599.99 (around Rs 49,639).
There is one catch – the PlayStation VR2 headset works only with the PlayStation 5. So, you will need to have a PS5 console already or buy a one to use VR headset. The PlayStation 5 console in the US comes at a starting price of $499 (Rs 39,990).
The second-generation PlayStation VR headset brings some major improvements over the former, including an OLED display having a 110-degree field-of-view with support for 4K HDR playback.

Four cameras are built on the front, enabling a see-through view, customised play area, and other features. Moreover, the new orb-shaped controllers bring adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, similar to the DualSense, and with the ability to detect finger touches.
“We’ve created the PS VR2 headset with comfort in mind, in a slightly slimmer and lighter design compared to our previous headset. We’ve also included an integrated vent for extra air flow, and a lens adjustment dial for a more customized feel. We hope players will enjoy this new design.” writes Isabelle Tomatis, VPP of brand, hardware, and peripherals at Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Sony has also announced 11 new titles for the upcoming PS VR2, including the much-talked Horizon Call of The Mountain, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Cities VR – Enhanced Edition, Crossfire: Sierra Squad, and more. These titles will be made available on the PS VR 2 following its launch in February 2023.
