It's going to be a busy year for gamingEven as Sony shares more details (https://www.destructoid.com/playstation-ps-vr-2-first-look-headset-design-sony/) about PlayStation VR2, we've still wondered about the games, the timing, and crucially, the price. Today, the company narrowed in a bit ? PlayStation VR2 is officially coming in "early 2023," according to a tweet from PlayStation.

It's a simple announcement tweet with just the new timeline and a familiar photo of the PS5 headset and VR2 Sense controllers, both of which have been shown off before (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps-vr2/). With Gamescom happening this week, this could be a lead-in for a wider announcement. Or it could just be another incremental news update, business as usual. You never know.
How much is too much?I'm anxious about the price, particularly after Meta Quest 2 got a $100 price hike (https://www.destructoid.com/meta-quest-2-virtual-reality-price-hike-headset-oculus-facebook/).
The $400 range would be a pleasant surprise, but I'm expecting closer to $500 (depending on what's included). Either way, if you're a new PS5 owner, it'll likely be a lot. I'm saving.
That said, I got my money's worth out of the PlayStation VR, and it's been long enough that I'm ready to invest in another VR platform. Even with technical drawbacks, I liked the PSVR experience ? I'm expecting to feel the same way about PSVR2. In some ways, I hope the next headset echoes the PS4-to-PS5 transition; more of the same, but nicer.

Sony has plenty of time to do a big VR-focused State of Play blowout stream in the coming months. For now, the docket has Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil Village, No Man's Sky, and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution.
PlayStation VR garnered fans, and I'm crossing my fingers that PSVR2 is the upgrade it should be. An ergonomic, well-thought-out headset is nothing without meaningful games, and expectations are only getting higher. Resident Evil gets my foot in the door (https://www.destructoid.com/resident-evil-4-remake-announced-march-2023-release-date-support-playstation-vr2/), at least.
The Resident Evil 4 remake is out on March 23, 2023, and it'll support PlayStation VR2 in some not-yet-concrete way. I'm also down for another (https://blog.playstation.com/2022/06/02/resident-evil-village-is-coming-to-psvr2/) Village run.
It's fun to think back to the PSVR launch lineup ? it was a mad dash (https://www.destructoid.com/heres-a-recap-of-our-playstation-vr-launch-coverage/) around here with Chris and I splitting up review duties for games like SuperHyperCube, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, Rez Infinite, Job Simulator, and Batman: Arkham VR. I'm hoping for a splashy group.
