At least, that’s what well-known and reputable Apple leaker, Ming-Chi Kuo, has said on Twitter earlier today. According to Kuo, the launch date of Sony’s next generation of PlayStation VR depends on the game development schedule, but he believes that PSVR2 will have a “good” start due to over 20 titles from both first and third-party studios being ready. “My latest supply chain check suggests that the assembler and several component providers of PS VR2 will start mass production with about 1.5M units shipments in 2H22”, the leaker tweeted some hours ago. “Sony may launch it in 1Q23, depending on the development schedule of PS VR2 game titles.” He added, “I believe PS VR2 will have a good start thanks to the support of 20+ game titles from first- & third-party at launch. Sony’s position & resources in the game industry can accelerate AAA VR game development (e.g., Horizon Call of the Mountain), benefiting the VR growth.”

Following this announcement, sources claimed that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will feature an exclusive PS VR2 experience. In addition, it has been reported that a Killzone VR experience is still in the works at Sony, which might very well be a launch title for the next gen of PlayStation VR. As always with these kinds of rumors, please take the information above with a pinch of salt for now. We’ll update you as soon as more information about PlayStation VR2 comes in.
