Sony is reportedly pausing PlayStation VR2 production.
Bloomberg’s Takashi Mochizuki cites “people familiar with its plans” as saying Sony is temporarily stopping production to clear a backlog of unsold units.
Those people also reportedly revealed Sony has produced “well over” 2 million PSVR 2 headsets. But market research firm IDC estimates Sony shipped less than 1.7 million in 2023.

It comes just three weeks after the first anniversary of the $550 product and just two weeks after Sony shut down the developer of Blood & Truth and laid off employees in the studios behind Horizon: Call Of The Mountain.
On the anniversary Sony didn’t have any new first-party or AAA game announcements, but it did share it plans to let PSVR 2 owners “access PC” sometime later this year.
