“More Than The PS5?” – PlayStation Fans Were Unimpressed to See the Price Tag For Upcoming VR2

PlayStation 5 by Sony is among the most-demanded console on the planet at the moment. However, the Japanese giants are unable to meet the massive demand. One of the reasons behind this shortage is the supply and logistic issues the world has faced in recent years because of the global pandemic.

On top of being unhappy with the shortage of consoles, Sony added more misery as they raised the prices of the PlayStation 5, which didn’t impress the fans. However, that wasn’t the end of it. Sony finally revealed the release date and price for PlayStation VR2, and as expected, the fans are not happy with the price tag on it.

But now they have revealed that the PlayStation VR2 is set to release on February 22, 2023. So, fans might have to wait for a while before getting their hands on this gaming equipment.

But that’s not the end of Sony’s announcement about the PlayStation VR2. They also revealed that this new generation virtual reality headset would cost a preposterous $550 and that the fans would be able to pre-order the new VR headset starting November 15.
