On what date was Sony’s PlayStation VR2 released worldwide?

Sony’s PlayStation VR2 was released worldwide on February 22, 2023.

PlayStation VR2 is a virtual-reality headset designed for the PlayStation 5. Sony announced it in January 2022 and opened pre-orders later that year before releasing the system in February 2023. It replaced the original PlayStation VR, which had been designed for PlayStation 4.

The newer headset uses a single USB-C connection, inside-out tracking, eye tracking, headset vibration, and redesigned Sense controllers. Its display uses OLED panels with a resolution of 2000 by 2040 pixels per eye. These features distinguish it from the first PlayStation VR, which required an external camera and a separate processor box.

The release date is sometimes confused with the 2016 launch of the original PlayStation VR. They are different generations tied to different PlayStation consoles: the first primarily targeted PS4, while PS VR2 was created for PS5.
