## Key points

- PSVR2 has disappeared from Sony’s US and Japanese stores.
- Sony has not officially announced that it is discontinued.
- The article blames limited games and support for its uncertain future.

## Summary

Sony has removed PlayStation VR2 from its US and Japanese online stores after months of stock shortages in the US and UK. Sony has not announced that the headset is discontinued, but the moves and the lack of new support suggest its future is uncertain, just three years after launch.

The article argues that PSVR2’s strong hardware and gaming-focused design were undermined by its high launch price and limited software support. PC compatibility arrived only halfway through its life, while Sony closed or restructured several VR studios in 2024, and the PlayStation Plus VR catalogue has shrunk. The last VR game announcement at a State of Play was in mid-2025, according to the article.
