Mixed-News (Chris Steven, October 3, 2026) puts a hard COUNTDOWN on Into the Radius 2: Sony’s PlayStation Store lists the survival shooter for October 8 on PlayStation VR2, while Steam is holding a 30% CUT to $27.99 until that SAME day.
The PlayStation listing, read by Mixed-News at 20:53 UTC on October 2, dates the title to October 8, names publisher CM Immersive OU, requires a PS5 plus Sense controllers, and shows NO price yet. Genre tags are action, shooter, and horror. The page also lists sitting or standing play, optional headset vibration, Sense controller vibration and trigger effects, and the standard under-12 warning for the headset.
On the PC side the price is CLEAR. Steam’s US store shows $27.99, down from $39.99 (30%), matching the studio’s October 1 announcement that the discount HOLDS until October 8. Mixed-News notes that depth is familiar: six earlier sales since December 2025 all sat at the same 30% step.
This is a FOLLOW-UP to Metaverse Watcher’s September DELAY coverage. The studio pushed the PlayStation VR2 launch from September 24 to October 8 after issues in Sony’s FINAL CERTIFICATION stage — UploadVR carried the studio email then. The Store date Mixed-News cites is the public CONFIRMATION that the new TARGET still stands five days out.
What the console page still HIDES matters for buyers. The studio has not published PlayStation VR2 patch notes or a FEATURE list versus the PC build. UploadVR previously reported native 90fps with eye-tracked DYNAMIC foveated rendering, headset haptics, and Sense adaptive triggers — and said co-op is not day-one on the headset, with a FREE Q4 2026 update planned. Steam’s PC listing, by contrast, is tagged VR Only with online co-op for up to four players after the April 23, 2026 full release (Early Access began July 2024).
Series context is short: the first Into the Radius reached PlayStation VR2 in September 2024, and the sequel’s Quest 3 build entered Early Access in May 2025 while PC work continued. For readers choosing platforms this WEEK, the useful FACTS are the LOCKED console DATE, the Steam SALE window that CLOSES on launch day, and the still-MISSING PlayStation VR2 price.
