According to TechBriefly.com, the publisher of Immersive VR Education (Apollo 11 VR and Titanic VR) recently released a financial report that mentions the new Sony VR headset confirming the provisional release window.
To quote: "In 2020, Sony will release PlayStation 5 and a new version of the PlayStation VR headset (PSVR), which will further expand the high-end VR user base – the group intends to support this device with its current software package, the Immersive VR Education Ltd said in a report.
Back in March 2019, the Sony Senior VP of R&D, Dominic Mallinson, hinted that the company might release several second-gen PlayStation VR models that includes new features like wireless connectivity and eye tracking."
Hopefully more details will be revealed during the upcoming PlayStation Meeting purported to take place on February 5th and unveil Sony's next-generation PlayStation 5 console.
