It appears that Sony is tight-lipped on if PSVR 2 will be releasing this year.<\/p>\n

Following last week\u2019s official reveal<\/a> of the headset\u2019s name and specs, Axios\u2019 Stephen Totilo noted that he had reached out to Sony to ask two key questions about the device. First, Totilo asked if PSVR 2 would be backwards compatible with the original PSVR and its library of content. He also asked if it would release this year.<\/p>\n

According to Totilo, Sony declined to comment on each point.<\/p>\n

I asked Sony if PSVR2 would be out in 2022 and if it\u2019ll be backwards compatible with PSVR titles (something many people asked me to ask them yesterday). Neither was addressed yesterday.<\/p>\n

Sony PR says they have nothing further to announce at the moment. So stay tuned\u2026<\/p>\n

This perhaps isn\u2019t too surprising given that companies often have dedicated beats for when and where they\u2019ll reveal details such as this, but it is somewhat curious that Sony hasn\u2019t confirmed a broad 2022 release window for its next VR headset yet.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n

The headset was first announced in early 2021 and UploadVR was the first to reveal specs<\/a> for the device around the middle of the year, so it\u2019s clear that many details about the kit have been nailed down for a long time. Plus, revealing information at CES in the first week of the year does suggest that you\u2019re firing the starting gun for a months-long promotional plan leading up to a release somewhere around the holiday season. That\u2019s exactly what Sony did with the PS5 two years ago, for example.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s very possible that the ongoing component shortage that has plagued the rollout of so many electronic devices \u2014 not least of which the PS5 \u2014 is having an influence on Sony\u2019s plans. With so much up in the air and different manufacturers offering differing opinions on when the situation might be resolved, the company might not yet be able to commit to a 2022 release date even if that is the plan.<\/p>\n

But, regardless of the silence, we\u2019re fully expecting to at least hear much more about PSVR 2 this year. Stay tuned to UploadVR, where we\u2019ll bring you all the latest on the headset.<\/p>\n
