A 2023 release date for the PlayStation VR 2? According to an analyst specializing in the VR sector, the PS5 headset would be ready later this year.
We’re halfway through 2022 and for now we don’t know if the PlayStation VR 2 will be released this year. However, Sony has started its communication by revealing the design, Sense controllers and games like Horizon Call of the Mountain, but the company could be slowed down in its tracks.
PSVR 2: The PS5 headset too late?
In a tweet, Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, believes that the demand for VR screens in 2022 explode with a 50% increase. He says 15 million displays are expected to ship to interested customers like Apple and Sony. But now, according to him, the helmets of the two giants would finally be postponed to 2023.
Neither the Cupertino company nor PlayStation have officially announced a release window yet. It’s even worse for Apple’s virtual reality helmet, as it only exists through rumors.
overlapping information
Does Ross Young make wet finger predictions? Given the nature of the work that Display Supply Chain Consultants do, it is more possible to have this type of information. Especially since this PlayStation VR 2 lag has already been addressed by PSVR Without Word. A YouTuber who revealed the helmet’s technical characteristics ahead of time.
Why might Sony be internally revising the launch date? That hasn’t changed: the shortage of components. On the one hand, the manufacturer certainly does not want to relive the limited supply of PS5. A situation that hardly improves and that makes him miss out on many sales. And on the other hand, if no PlayStation 5 is available, the PS VR 2 is useless. It is therefore not far-fetched to think that the company will delay the release of its headphones in order to increase its PS5 fleet first.
In short, if you were planning to rush it, now you can always save!
