If we knew that PlayStation was preparing a new virtual reality headset to accompany the PS5 throughout its life cycle and that we already knew its visuals, its price and launch window were yet to be determined. Sony teams put an end to the wait and announce when the PS VR2 will be released, its price. We now know its final visual, its price, its release date.

PlayStation VR2 release date and listed price:
As we might have feared in view of the onboard technology, this new VR headset will cost more than a PS5. Sony has indeed announced it at the (recommended) price of €599,99 in Spain, which makes it a fairly expensive device. The basic pack will include the virtual reality headset, a pair of "PS VR2 Sense" controllers and stereo headphones. It will be released on February 22, 2023. Keep in mind that the PlayStation VR2 headset is only compatible with the PlayStation 5, so no way to use it or try to plug it into a PS4 (if the idea ever crosses your mind). mind), it won't work.
For those who would like to have a game with it, a “PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain” pack will also go on sale at the same time at a price of €649.99. The content of the pack is the same except that inside players will find an activation code to download the game Horizon Call of the Mountain from the PlayStation Store. Pre-orders begin on PlayStation's online store on November 15, 2022.
