The launch of the long-awaited new VR headset from Sony may finally be on the horizon, and it looks like we'll be getting OLED panels instead of LCD

The next-gen PSVR2 has a reported release date

Since the launch of the PlayStation 5, Sony have announced new accessories for it — including the new DualSense controller charging station, Pulse 3D wireless headset, a media remote controller, and a HD camera. They also announced the PSVR2 — a virtual reality headset, and until now there was no release date in sight.

According to an article from Bloomberg, the virtual reality headset from Sony could be released late next year, just in  time for the holidays. It also looks like the VR headset will be using OLED panels. This will offer better colours and resolution, unlike the LCD panels used by competitors.

One important holdout remains: Sony Group Corp. plans to use Samsung Display Co. OLED panels in its next-generation PlayStation VR goggles, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The Japanese console giant sold more than 5 million units of the original PS VR, launched in 2016, and is aiming to release the successor in the holiday period next year, the people said, asking not to be named discussing internal plans.

Previous leaks have also revealed that the headset would have a USB-C connection, and cameras to track the position of the controllers. Rumours also suggest that it could use eye-tracking capabilities to simulate how human eyes perceive the world.

So you already know what to add to your Christmas wishlist — and hope that there won’t be a shortage of stock, as has been the case with the consoles.

With more than five million copies of the original PSVR sold, the stakes are high for Sony. The promises made by its recently unveiled controllers are rather encouraging —it now remains to be seen if the PSVR2 will live up to those.

PlayStation's rumoured response to E3 will be a State of Play in two weeks

After Sony missing E3, the same insider who leaked the existence of Final Fantasy Origins has assured that Sony will respond in just a few weeks.
