Sony will launch its PlayStation VR2 headset on February 22, priced at £529.99. The VR headset itself will include Sense controllers and stereo headphones, while a Sense controller charging station will be available separately at £39.99.
Preorders will be taken from November 15, limited to Sony’s PlayStation online store in the UK. Games will also be available to preorder later this month on a date to be announced.
The PS VR2 headset has a 110-degree field of view and four cameras built into the front of the display. Described as "the next generation of virtual reality gaming", the new VR2 is said to allow gamers to "escape into new worlds while feeling a groundbreaking sense of immersion".
“We’ve created the PS VR2 headset with comfort in mind, in a slightly slimmer and lighter design compared to our previous headset,” says Isabelle Tomatis, VP of brand, hardware, and peripherals at Sony Interactive Entertainment. “We’ve also included an integrated vent for extra air flow, and a lens adjustment dial for a more customised feel.
"Today, we are also pleased to reveal additional titles coming to PlayStation VR2, with fresh new reveals on new titles that are currently in development for PlayStation VR2. It’s exciting to see how game developers are taking advantage of the PS VR2’s headset features to design the next generation of VR games.
"We’re expecting more than 20 titles at launch, and we can’t wait for February when PS VR2 launches so players can give it a try. We’ll have more details on our launch game lineup in the future, so stay tuned."
