Sony finally confirms the release date and price of the PlayStation VR2

Sony has listened to the public’s pleas and finally revealed when the PlayStation VR2 will be available. But not only that, but it has also confirmed the price of its new virtual reality helmet, one of the great unknowns we had to date.

Specifically, the PlayStation VR2 will be available in 2023, as rumored. They were explicitly starting next February 22. The Japanese company indicated that reservations will open from November 15, although those interested can begin registering today.

Regarding the price, there will be two options. Neither will be particularly cheap, although they will still cost less than half the new Meta Quest Pro price. The basic version of the PlayStation VR2 will be available in Europe for €599.99, while the variant that includes the Horizon Call of the Mountain will hit the market for 649.99 euros.

In addition, Sony will be selling the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller charging station separately. It will be achieved for 49.99 euros.

All the official prices of the PlayStation VR2

As Sony explained, in some countries, the reservation of the PlayStation VR2 can only be made through its official store. This will apply to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. In all other markets where it is available, it will be sold through authorized dealers. The company promises to give more news about each country’s booking and marketing channels.

Confirmed another 11 games for PS VR2

In addition to announcing the release date and price of the PlayStation VR2, Sony has confirmed 11 other games that will be available when the headset hits the market. We mention them below:

• The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR
• Crossfire: Sierra Squad
• The Light Brigade
• VR Cities
• Cosmonious High
• Hello Neighbor VR2
• Jurassic World Aftermath
• Gun Whip VR
• zenith
• After The Fall
• tentacle

Some games, like Tentacular, The Light Brigade, and Hello Neighbor VR2, will be available for pre-order starting November 15. While others, like Zenith and Pistol Whip VR, will be a free upgrade for those who have already purchased the original PlayStation VR version. Let’s remember that the new generation of Sony’s virtual reality headset is not backward compatible with games released for its predecessor. However, the Japanese claim that porting existing games to the PS VR2 is now easier.

The new PlayStation VR2 titles join others already confirmed, such as Ghostbusters VR, No Man’s Sky, Resident Evil Village, and the Horizon above Call of the Mountain. The latter can also be reserved from this month, and the Asians have promised more news in the short term.
