Sony has given us a look at the PSVR2, along with a few of the features and specifications as well. Additionally, no other game besides Horizon: Call of the Mountain has been confirmed by Sony for the VR device. All in all, we don't know too much about the PSVR2, but that may soon change. Industry insider, Tom Henderson has suggested that Sony might host a showcase focussed on the device pretty soon.

Henderson tweeted that Sony had sent out an email titled "Introducing PlayStation VR2". Based on that, he theorized that Sony may be preparing a State of Play focussed on the VR device, as the same thing had happened when Sony sent out a similar email regarding the PS5 pre-launch. Both Jeff Grub and Greg Miller had earlier said that they heard rumblings of a PSVR2 showcase, and this adds further fuel to that.

However, Henderson pointed out that this is merely a possibility based on past events, and nothing concrete. "It could be something or could be nothing. It's just interesting given the timing of everything."

As for the device itself, Sony has revealed that the dual controllers will be equipped with finger tracking technology, while the headset has a lens adjustment dial to adjust the distance from your eyes. The headsets new vent design also ensures that all the air is let out and the lens does not fog up while playing. It supports 4K HDR and headset feedback, all while using only one cord.

Sony sent out a new email yesterday named "Introducing PlayStation VR2" - There was a similar email a couple of weeks prior to the PS5 pre-launch, too.

It could indicate there are plans for a PSVR2 showcase soon as both @GameOverGreggy and @JeffGrubb had heard.

"Our goal is to create a headset that will not only become an attractive part of your living room decor, but will also keep you immersed in your game world, to the point where you almost forget you are using a headset or controller," said the blog post that revealed these details. "That's why we paid very close attention to the ergonomics of the headset and conducted extensive testing to ensure a comfortable feel for a variety of head sizes."

Sony hasn't yet announced an official launch date for the device as of yet, but according to a leak, you should expect the PSVR2 sometime in early 2023.
