Sony confirmed about a year ago that there would be a new VR headset for the PS5, but it won’t come out in 2021. Since then there have only been small details, like pictures of the controller. But slowly the announcement is getting closer and closer.
As part of CES 2022, Sony revealed the name for the first time: PlayStation VR2. Not that spectacular, like the name of the controller: PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers. However, the first game was announced today.
