Sony Sells 419 VR Headset Patents to Meta as PS VR2 Support Stays Thin

Sony has transferred 419 XR and VR headset patents worldwide to Meta, including 43 US patents that changed hands between June and September 2026, according to ZDNet Korea, with follow-up from Road to VR. Push Square covered the sale on October 7. Sony has made no statement. PS VR2 still gets new releases on the PS Store, but first-party support for the headset has been thin since launch.
