PlayStation VR2 pre-orders start today and you can now register for an invite
Sony’s new VR headset launches in February and requires a PS5 console
Sony has kicked off PlayStation VR2 pre-orders, which are currently only available in select regions and on an invite-only basis.
Players interested in buying PS VR2 can now register their interest, although signing up doesn’t guarantee they’ll get the chance to pre-order a headset.
Pre-order registration is currently available via PlayStation Direct in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Players must have a PlayStation Network account to register. If selected, they will be contacted via email with the date, time and instructions for completing a pre-order.
Those living outside of the aforementioned countries can place an order as long as the PlayStation Direct site they use delivers to the country where they’re based.
“Due to limited quantities and high demand, we will be limiting transactions to one PS VR2 per PSN ID per household,” Sony said.
PS VR2 will launch on February 22, 2023. Priced at $549.99 / €599.99 / £529.99, it includes the PS VR2 headset, PS VR2 Sense controllers and stereo headphones.
There is also a $599.99 / €649.99 / £569.99 bundle which includes a PlayStation Store voucher code for launch title Horizon Call of the Mountain.
A separate charging station for the headset, which allows players to charge the PS VR2 Sense controllers while keeping the PS5 console’s USB ports free, costs $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99.
More than 20 games are currently in development for PS VR2 from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners, according to Sony.
They include Resident Evil Village, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution, No Man’s Sky, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, and Demeo.
