PlayStation VR2 would go into mass production this year

(Pocket-lint) – PlayStation’s next virtual reality headset is a highly anticipated release and the developers are hard at work preparing over 20 titles for launch.

However, the problem is that we still don’t know what that launch date is.

Famous Apple leaker, Ming Chi Kuo, has some ideas, however. He estimates that the PSVR2 will go into mass production in the second half of this year, with 1.5 million units initially produced.

If this turns out to be true, we could expect a release date in the first quarter of 2023.

Sony will be streaming the next State of Play event on Thursday, June 2, 2022, and the brand has confirmed that we’ll see some previews of “several games in development for PlayStation VR2”.

Will we learn more about the release date at State of Play? Time will tell us. For now, however, one thing is certain: PlayStation VR fans have plenty to be excited about.
