Sony Playstation VR2 Release Date, Price & New Games

Playstation VR2 is officially hitting the shelves on wednesday february 22nd 2023. As well as the PS VR2 sense controller charging station which of course is sold separately. You’ll be able to add this to your PS5 for $550 dollars US. So yeah the psvr2 is more expensive than if you paid retail for a PS5. Is it worth it? Well lets check out some of the details and 11 new games that were announced.

Inside the base bundle box you’ll get the headset, the sense controllers and stereo headphones which hey thats a nice little add. For the 550 dollar price tag. Then separately if you want the Sense controller charging station will run you another $50 bucks.

Playstation also put together a bundle that comes with its premiere VR2 launch title Horizon Call of the Mountain which will retail for $600 dollars.

If you are interested and live in either the US, UK, France Germany Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg you can pre-order your VR2 on November 15th over at direct.playstation.com but starting today you can register now for an exclusive invite to pre-order the PSVR2 that will come to your email inbox using your Playstation Network ID. I’m assuming this can help you get a head of the queue. Nonetheless I’ve left the preorder pre registration link in the description below.  Just a heads up you will only be able to pre-order one PSvr2 per playstation ID number. 

Along with the release announcement Playstation also shared 11 New games that will be coming to the PSVR 2, Lets run through the list. You’ll find previously released titles which you may have seen on the quest and steam stores like Cosmonious High, Jurassic World Aftermath, Pistol Whip, Cities VR, Zenith, After the Fall, and Tentacular. But of course what’s more exciting are new VR titles llike the dark pictures switch back vr which is a horror roller coaster shooter that uniquely uses all the PSVR2’s bells and whistles like headset feedback, adaptive triggers, 3D audio and eye tracking to make the game a more immersive experience. Heck some enemies only move when you blink which sounds like a fun little gameplay mechanic to check out.

Up next we have the first person modern military shooter Crossfire Sierra Squad. You’ll work your way through over 60 campaign missions with smart AI enemies that will be a challenge to clear out using over 39 types of weapons and if you want you can bring in 3 friends for co-op play. There will be multiple modes to make the game playable for all kinds of people with an arcade, realism and hardcore horde modes. 

One of my personal favorite franchises is now getting a VR release in the form of Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue. And if you’ve played a hello neighbor game before you guessed it you get to sneak through Mr Peterson’s creep show of a house in first person VR avoiding him and other foes to help free your friend who is held captive in the basement. This game will also be available on the OG PSVR
Lastly we have the light brigade which is a fantastical roguelike gunplay mystery game. Which leans into realistic physics based gunplay and exploration. Light brigade will be a cross buy title for the original PSVR as well.

So for $550 are you pre-ordering a PSVR2? How do you feel about the price? Let me know in the comment and thanks for watching I’ll catch you in the next quickie.
