To my mindPSVR 2looks set to bethePS5 accessory to buy upon release, with the radically upgraded virtual reality headset coming locked with awesome new hardware and greatPSVR 2 games.
So I was thrilled to hear that the PSVR 2 now has an official launch window, withSonyconfirming that it willhit store shelves in “early 2023”.
That means PS5 gamers like me are now mere months away from being able to jump into high-fidelity virtual worlds. Naturally, my excitement has ratcheted up a notch and these are the things I am most excited about.

Why I’m excited about PSVR 2
As a glasses wearer the lens adjustment dial and lenses that don’t fog up will be really useful, and that single-cord, no-camera connection will make things much more tidy in my front room.
More ergonomic controllers will make games more immersive, and of course the vastly improved display – effectively strapping one of thebest 4K TVsto your face with refresh rates up to 120Hz – is going to be a real game changer.
Playing games on the original PSVR feels like I’m watching them from behind half-closed Venetian blinds, and having spent a couple of years now gaming on big TVs withXbox Series XandPS5I want my games crisp and clear, not looking like they’re on a CRT.

I’m also massively excited forthe new directionSony appears to be taking in term of releasing tie-in PSVR 2 gaming experiences, such as Horizon VR: Call of the Mountain.
Of course, the PSVR 2 isn’t the only next-gen VR headset en route – but the imminentApple AR/VR headsetis going to be much more expensive, and while Oculus’sProject Cambriawon’t be quite so pricey we’re expecting something along the lines of $799 (around £640 / AU$1,125). Here’s hoping supply shortages and currency fluctuations don’t stop the PSVR 2 from being both available and affordable for those of us who really want one.
