If you were expecting Into the Radius 2 on PlayStation VR2 today, September 24, the release has been delayed. CM Games announced a new date on September 17, and the US PlayStation Store now lists October 8, 2026 at 14:00 UTC. Some older search results still point to September 24 because Sony’s original announcement has not been updated. The newer developer notice and live store listing agree on October 8.

This is a change to the PS VR2 launch, not a cancellation. The PC version is already available through Steam. Players who have been following the console version should use the current PlayStation Store date when planning to download it. A store page in another region may display the time in a local timezone, so the calendar day can look different depending on where you live.

Why did the date change?

The studio said it needed more time because of technical issues in the certification process. It did not present the delay as a redesign of the game or a problem with the PC version. Two weeks is a small move on the calendar, but the difference matters for anyone who booked time to play today or expected reviews and streams to appear on launch day.

Into the Radius 2 sends you into the Pechorsk Anomaly, where you gather supplies, deal with hostile creatures and return to base with what you found. You handle weapons and equipment directly in VR. The official PS VR2 images show forests, abandoned buildings, gear and the dangerous areas between them. It is a survival shooter, so preparing for a trip is as important as shooting your way out of one.

What about co-op?

The PlayStation Store lists one player at launch. CM Games says PS VR2 co-op is planned as a free update later in the fourth quarter of 2026. That is a plan, not a feature you should expect to use on October 8. The studio has not given a more exact co-op date. PC players have their own version and update schedule, so do not assume every platform will get a feature on the same day.

If you only saw the August PlayStation Blog post, the new date can be confusing. That older post was correct when it appeared but has been superseded. The practical answer is simple: October 8 is the current PS VR2 release date in the US store. Check the listing again near launch for the final local unlock time and any change to the feature list. We will update this story if CM Games changes the plan again.
