Fresh Leak Hints at the Eagerly Anticipated PlayStation VR2 Becoming a Reality Much Sooner Than We Think

PlayStation has swayed gamers across the globe with its amazing features and mind blowing capabilities in terms of offering an immersive experience. However, when it comes to truly immersive gaming, then there’s a dedicated option for this purpose, in PlayStation VR.

Currently, the second generation of the virtual reality device is in development at Sony. Being a successor to its predecessor, the PlayStation VR2 is expected to impress in multiple ways when it comes to giving a mesmerizing gameplay experience. Now the latest reports, coming from an industry insider and analyst, have revealed that PSVR 2 won’t take long in making its debut.

Sony’s PlayStation VR2 is reportedly releasing in Q1 2023!

As reported by VGC, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who’s well-known for sharing key insights on the electronic devices, recently came up with a crucial information on the PSVR 2.

Going by Kuo’s analysis, then the PlayStation VR2 may witness a start in its production later this year. It implies that the headset might release in the first quarter of 2023.

In his tweet, the analyst wrote the following:

“My latest supply chain check suggests that the assembler and several component providers of PS VR2 will start mass production with about 1.5M units shipments in 2H22. Sony may launch it in 1Q23, depending on the development schedule of PS VR2 game titles.”

Simply put, the launch of the PlayStation VR 2 will also depend on when Sony plans to release its new PSVR 2 exclusive games.

Moreover, Kuo also mentioned that the next generation of the headset will also comprise built-in cameras. The first PSVR didn’t have this feature at all. Instead, it had a camera attached to the PS4 to track the player’s head movement.

Speaking more of the upcoming successor to the original VR headset, then it will also adopt six optical modules. There will be four 720p IR cameras and two eye-tracking cameras. The previous generation didn’t have any optical modules.

Although Ming-Chi Kuo is a trusted insider, this latest detail should be taken with a grain of salt. One cannot fully believe that PlayStation VR2 will arrive early in 2023 unless Sony officially confirms it in the coming months.
