PSVR was a success, so it’s only fitting that Sony is considering a second iteration. This was presented at CES in Las Vegas last January. Then we can hope to be released in 2022, but it is certain that you will have to endure your troubles patiently.
Indeed, Tobii, a third-party manufacturer, somewhat dampens our hopes of seeing the helmet arrive quickly. The Swedish firm has issued a short press release. Confirms work to equip PSVR 2.
PSVR 2 may arrive in 2023 at the earliest
However, Tobii still under negotiation Equipping PSVR 2 with eye tracking technology. We’re still a long way from having a helmet finished and ready to go out. If Tobii is still in the negotiation phase with Sony, it certainly means it shouldn’t be the only company in this situation. Therefore, the helmet is still a long way from entering the production phase. If there’s still hope to see it coming by the end of the year, it’ll have to count on 2023 at the earliest.
Sony wasted no time and released An official website dedicated to the product. So we explore the design of new controllers, but also certain features of the helmet. However, the latter does not appear in a photo on the site, which may mean that its design may still change.
Not seeing PSVR 2 coming to PS5 right away it wouldn’t be surprising. The first model was indeed released in 2016, three years after the launch of its “main” console, the PS4. The fact is that this second version, which is waiting for 2023, is therefore not abnormal. Moreover, the situation is quite different. The PS5 was definitely released in 2020, but it’s still struggling to sell due to a shortage of semiconductors leading to stock shortages.
