Into the Radius 2 lands on PS VR2 on September 24

CM Immersive has confirmed that Into the Radius 2 arrives on PlayStation VR2 on September 24, 2026. The hardcore VR survival shooter returns to the Pechorsk Anomaly with a rebuilt experience that the studio describes as deeper, more tactile, and visually overhauled compared to the original.

At launch, players get a brand-new single-player campaign. A free post-launch update in Q4 2026 adds 2-player co-op. The loadout system has been completely reworked — you physically configure chest rigs, armor vests, and backpacks down to the exact angle and position of every pouch and holster. Weapon customization lets you swap barrels, stocks, optics, grips, and magazines, and you can paint gear using over 15 solid colors and 10 camo patterns. Maintenance is now per-component: every modular part tracks its own wear and dirt level, and skipping your cleaning routine between runs will cause jams at the worst possible moment. The Anomaly itself is larger and more hostile, with enemy types that actively flank, use cover, and coordinate. Mimics work together in fog, Fragments rush your position, Phantoms stay invisible until you stop moving, and Creeps swarm fast if you lose focus. Environmental hazards are equally unpredictable — electric charges, shrapnel bursts, light-swallowing anomalies, force fields, and Distortion Zones that drain your health without specialized anti-distortion headgear. The Tide mechanic periodically resets enemy positions and loot spawns, preventing any comfortable routine from forming. PS VR2 hardware is used directly: Sense controller adaptive triggers deliver unique resistance depending on weapon type and condition, and haptic feedback ties into the physics system to ground the experience further.

The original Into the Radius launched in Early Access on PC VR in 2019 and built a dedicated following for its slow, methodical approach to survival in a Stalker-inspired anomaly zone. CM Immersive leaned into that reputation with the sequel, doubling down on physical interaction and gear management rather than streamlining for accessibility. The PS VR2 version represents the game's first major console platform push, and the hardware's adaptive triggers and haptics make it a natural fit for a game built around tactile weapon handling.

With the single-player campaign arriving at launch and co-op following in Q4 2026, players who want to tackle the Anomaly solo have a complete experience from day one. The free co-op update should extend the game's legs considerably for those waiting to bring a partner into the zone.
