A big question among observers is whether the headset will launch in 2022 or 2023. Given the above, and some prior hints, our guess continues to lean toward holiday 2022.

Given how much detail the company has revealed about PSVR 2, it’s actually surprising the company has yet to also reveal PlayStation VR 2’s release date and price.

One potential explanation is that Sony is carefully watching the current market turmoil and is waiting until the last possible moment to nail down the PSVR 2 launch date and cost. After all, we can be sure they’d like to avoid running into a situation where they have to increase the cost of the headset after its launch.
