It’s official, Sony has confirmed the release date of PS VR2, the long-awaited virtual reality kit that will be compatible with PS5 and that, according to the latest leaks we’ve seen, will offer a major improvement over the originalboth in terms of ergonomics and construction quality as well as performance thanks to the technical improvements that we have already detailed in this article.
As many of our readers will probably remember, the PS VR had a success that we can consider as acceptable, and despite its limitations, and the limitations of the PS4 itself, featured some catchy titles within your catalog.
It is important to keep in mind that we are talking about a time when the recommended specifications for any virtual reality kit on PC they were far superior to PS4 hardwareand despite all this console had titles of the caliber of Resident Evil VII and DOOM VFR.
Over the past few weeks we have seen numerous analysts release numerous predictions regarding the possible release date of PS VR2. They did not agree since some said that it would arrive in March 2023, and others were going directly to April and May. In the end Sony has been clear and has said that this virtual reality kit will arrive early 2023which leads us to think directly about the first trimester of that year as a launch frame.
Sony is aware that, in order to generate interest around the new PS VR2, it needs to offer a good catalog of games from the moment of its launch, a goal that the Japanese company seems to have fulfilled without problems, since at the time of its launch this virtual reality kit will have more than 20 games available.
PS VR has sold a few 5 million units between 2016 and so far in 2022, a figure that, as we anticipated, allows us to consider it a relative success, and that is that although it is a respectable amount, it loses a lot of “color” when we compare it with the over 117 million PS4 consoles that Sony has sold.
Given the generation gap, the technical improvements and the virtual reality experience that PS VR2 will be able to offer, in addition to the important investment in games For this platform that Sony is making, it is expected that said virtual reality kit will outsell the original, and that it ends up being well received. At least those are the expectations of the Japanese company. They will become true? Time will give us the answer.
