Bit Planet Games, developer of Ultrawings 2, tweeted an apparent photo of a PSVR 2 headset in the wild yesterday, before removing the tweet and re-posting it with a generic promotional shot.
A screenshot of the tweet that has now been deleted, captured by UploadVR, can be seen above. It shows a supposed PSVR 2 unit, with two Sense controllers, sitting on an office chair, as part of a hint that Ultrawings 2 will be coming to PSVR 2.

In the new version of the tweet, embedded above, Bit Planet Games replaced the image with one of the famous PSVR 2 promotional images.
If true, the original image was probably from an early unit or developer set sent to Bit Planet Games to help with development. That said, dev kits usually have a different, unfinished design than the final release units, as the final design is usually not finalized and production has yet to begin. According to supply chain analyst Kuo, mass production of PSVR 2 will begin in the second half of this year.
respond to an answer with the original imageBit Planet Games gave a friendly response: “Seems false to us. However, chair is bad. ”
We still do not have a release date for PSVR 2, but it is likely that many developers already have their hands on developer kits to prepare for its final release.
The latest indications seem to point to an early 2023 release – the PlayStation Blog recently hinted at so much, and supply chain analysts suggest the headset was originally planned for a late 2022 launch, but has now been moved back to 2023 .
No matter when it launches, it looks like Ultrawings 2 will be flying to Sony’s new headset sometime in the future – you can check out our list of every other rumored and confirmed game coming to PSVR 2 here.
