Update: Sony no longer requires folks to score a registration invitation to pre-order the new PS VR2 system

PSVR 2 pre-orders are scheduled to go live today. Sony served up the official PlayStation VR 2 release date for the first time alongside the bundle configurations and even a look at the new controller charging station earlier this month, and pre-orders kick off today. Head below for a closer look at the various options that will be available as well as details on when/where PSVR 2 pre-orders are live and more. 

PSVR 2 pre-orders go live today

While at some point in the future there may or may not be a chance to pre-order PlayStation VR 2 at other retailers like Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, and elsewhere, Sony has already stated today’s presale event will be exclusively limited to PlayStation’s online store at direct.playstation.com

It launched the pre-registration process earlier this month when the PSVR 2 release date and price were unveiled, so it’s unclear whether or not those folks will just be getting first dibs here or not. Despite the fact that secured pre-order windows have already been sent out to those that registered, there may be a chance to score a pre-order directly from PlayStation today anyway as “registering does not guarantee that you will receive an invite.” 

Here’s a quick breakdown of the first two PSVR 2 configurations Sony has announced thus far:

  • PlayStation VR2
    • $549.99 / €599.99 / £529.99 / ¥74,980 recommended retail price (including tax for GBP, EUR, and JPY)
