Sony has temporarily stopped production of new PS VR2 consoles

According to his report Bloombergthe Sony decided to Production of new PlayStation VR 2s has been temporarily haltedUntil he sells the stock that has begun to accumulate. The Japanese giant has reportedly made more than 2 million headphones so far, but sales have been below expectations. In particular, since the initial debut in February last year, the quarterly sales of the PS VR2 have been worse than previous sales, according to IDC data.

Bloomberg indicates that the main problem is the lack of content, which is something that both Apple and Meta have faced with their headphones. The PS VR2 is supported with special modes in several Resident Evil and Gran Turismo 7 games, with its system vendor being Horizon Call of the Mountain. However, the compromises in backwards compatibility with original PS VR content and a price that exceeds that of the PS5 itself seem to have made many consumers hesitant.

For your information, Sony recently announced that it will completely close its London studio, which has previously prepared several VR releases, while layoffs have also been made at Firesprite, the team responsible for Horizon Call of the Mountain. These announcements, as expected, have many questioning the future of the VR headset.

Now, it appears the company is looking for other ways to “save” the PS VR2, as it recently announced that it is working on making it compatible with PC.
