PlayStation VR2 Planned for Early 2023 Release

PlayStation France surprised players by tweeting PlayStation VR2 is currently set for an early 2023 release.

Unfortunately, no further details were revealed, such as pricing, what Sony might do to prevent issues like the PlayStation 5 or anything else, it’s nice to some movement.

If you haven’t kept up on PlayStation VR 2, you can find the official overview below:

The next generation of virtual reality gaming
Experience new sensations with stunning 4K HDR visuals, ground-breaking new controllers and genre-defining games, all made possible by the power of PS5.
Explore new realities with the PlayStation®VR2 headset
Thrilling new worlds come to life with incredible visual clarity and in uniquely immersive and emotional ways with PlayStation VR2 Sense technology.
4K HDR display
Experience breath-taking virtual reality environments in clear focus with 4K High Dynamic Range visuals and up to 120fps, as two 2000 x 2040 OLED displays deliver over four times the resolution generated by the original PlayStation®VR headset.
Enhanced comfort
Enjoy comfortable play sessions through a vast 110º field of view and a light, well-balanced Fresnel lens. The lens adjustment dial allows you to customize spacing between lenses to match your eye position for an optimal onscreen image. The headset also includes a vent that allows airflow to the lenses, reduces fogging and enhances player comfort.
Eye tracking
Interact in new and lifelike ways, as the PS VR2 headset detects the motion of your eyes, allowing for heightened emotional response and enhanced expression when meeting fellow players online.
Eye tracking cameras follow your line of sight when aiming or looking around, while advanced foveated rendering techniques improve the visual experience by adjusting resolutions to pinpoint and enhance whatever you’re focusing on.
Inside-out tracking
Play with freedom as PlayStation VR2 tracks you and your controllers through four cameras embedded in the headset. Your movements and the direction you look are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.
Headset feedback
Feel subtle, responsive headset vibrations at key moments during gameplay¹. Created by a single built-in motor, these vibrations add an intelligent tactile element to the sensory immersion experienced as you play.
Detect your character’s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to your head, or the thrust of your vehicle as you speed forward.
Tempest 3D AudioTech
Surround yourself with incredibly realistic soundscapes¹, as in-game audio dynamically adapts to your position and head movements¹.
Sense a character’s presence as they whisper in your ear, locate friends and enemies by their gunfire or footfall, and experience the creeping dread of a threat approaching from any direction.
Single-cable connection
Jump straight into new virtual worlds with a simple one-cable connection to the PlayStation 5 console’s front USB port. PlayStation VR2 is quick and easy to set up – just plug in and play.
Introducing the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller
Interact with virtual worlds in amazing new ways with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, precision tracking and finger touch detection¹– all integrated into a unique ergonomic design.
Orb design
Take hold of the intuitive new PS VR2 Sense controller and experience freedom of movement and a realistic, natural gaming experience through a well-balanced and ergonomic design, leaving you to focus on comfortably exploring the game world you’re in.
Analog sticks and buttons
Take additional control of your in-game actions and gear with traditional analog sticks and action buttons split across two controllers, along with an Options button and a Create button. As well as the adaptive triggers, both controllers also feature a ‘grip’ button to grab in-game objects¹.
Finger touch detection
Interact with in-game items and environments naturally, even when you’re not actively pressing a button as finger touch detection¹ allows the PS VR2 Sense controller to replicate natural motions and gestures, letting you reach out and touch the virtual world.
Haptic feedback
Feel realistic, detailed responses to your in-game actions¹. From subtle, precise vibrations to intense pulses, a vast range of sensations in the game world can be delivered to your hands.
Sense how it feels to fire or strike with different weapons, craft tools, touch varied environmental textures and travel across undulating terrain.
Adaptive triggers
Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments¹. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring, to crushing objects with your hands or feeling a weapon jam in the heat of combat, adaptive triggers physically connect you to your on-screen actions for a deep sense of immersion.
