PlayStation VR 2 Preorder: What You Need to Know About Sony’s Invite System

Here’s how to get your hands on the new PSVR 2 headset first — hopefully.

After allowing us to go hands-on with the PlayStation VR 2 earlier this fall, Sony has now confirmed the launch date and price of its first major PS5 accessory. The company also unveiled its plans to open PSVR 2 preorders in November. We’ll go through all of the details you need to know about the PlayStation VR 2 launch below.

How much does PlayStation VR 2 cost?

Sony’s PSVR 2 will retail for $550. The set will include the headset itself as well as two PSVR 2 Sense controllers.

Does PlayStation VR 2 require a PS5?

Yes, you will need to own a PS5 in order to set up and use the Playstation VR2 headset. The PSVR 2 isn’t a stand-alone, self-contained headset like Meta’s Quest 2 or Quest Pro and will need to be tethered to Sony’s latest-gen console. You can still place a PSVR 2 preorder without yet owning a PS5 and use our PS5 stock tracker to try nab one before the headset’s release in February.

When does the PlayStation VR 2 launch?

PSVR 2 launches on Feb. 22, 2023. You can preorder one from Nov. 15, 2022.

How to preorder PlayStation VR 2

Sony will be opening PSVR 2 preorders on Nov. 15, 2022. During its initial launch phase, Sony’s next-gen headset can only be preordered via PlayStation’s online store for those based in the US, the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. You’ll need to register your email address at the PlayStation site ahead of that date to be in with a chance of being invited to place a preorder. Submitting your email address does not guarantee you’ll be able to snag a PSVR 2 in this first wave or that you’ll even receive an invitation to try.

Gamers outside those regions may be able to preorder a PSVR 2 from a participating local retailer, according to Sony’s announcement. Local retailers will share more info on how that will work specifically in each location.

We expect that on or shortly after the device’s February 2023 launch, third-party retailers in the countries listed above will be able to begin selling the PSVR 2, though odds are you’ll have a hard time finding one for a while as has been the case with the PS5 itself since its launch.

We will, of course, update this guide with more ways to preorder a PlayStation VR 2 as they become available as well as highlight any PSVR 2 deals and bundles once those start to crop up.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
