PlayStation VR2 key stats

PlayStation VR2 launched on February 22, 2023.

  • Requires a PS5 console; uses a single USB-C connection (no external sensor bar like PS VR1).
  • Launch price: $549.99 (US); regional pricing varied.
  • Sony later cut the price in select markets (for example, a permanent price reduction to $399.99 in the US announced in 2024) to stimulate demand.

PS VR2 supports 4K HDR visuals with inside-out tracking.

  • OLED display: 2000×2040 per eye, up to 120 Hz, 110° field of view.
  • Eye tracking, headset vibration, and Sense controller haptics (adaptive triggers on controllers).
  • Four headset cameras plus IR sensors for room-scale tracking without a separate camera.

Launch library included more than 50 PS VR2 titles.

  • Day-one highlights included Horizon Call of the Mountain, Gran Turismo 7 VR mode, Resident Evil Village VR, and Resident Evil 4 (2023 remake) VR support.
  • Catalog combined new PS VR2-native releases with upgraded PS VR1 titles where supported.

Sony lowered PS VR2 shipment expectations after weak pre-orders.

  • Reports in early 2023 said Sony cut internal shipment forecasts from about 2 million to 1 million units, citing disappointing pre-order demand versus the original PS VR2 target.
  • Sony expected on the order of 1.5 million units shipped between April 2023 and March 2024 in some analyst summaries — treat exact fiscal totals as estimates unless Sony publishes cumulative sell-through.
  • High launch price (above the PS5 console) and a narrow PS5-only install base were widely cited as adoption headwinds.
