According to a new report, the PlayStation VR release date was accidentally leaked earlier this week, spoiling one of Sony's biggest reveals of 2016.

Vrse - a company who has produced VR experiences for major entertainment events including U2 and Saturday Night Live - is reportedly the source of the information, listing the launch as April 2016.

It is currently not possible to verify this information and could even just be an old listing, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is now scheduled to arrive in the same month, potentially creating a major clash.

To add credence to the potential leak, fans have now noticed that the PlayStation release date on Vrse's official website has now disappeared, along with the HTC Vive Summer 2016 launch and another for Apple TV.

Sony themselves have stated previously that their VR tech will be released in the first half of 2016, while other leaks have put the eventual launch later in 2016.

Sony's Virtual Reality product was posted by a Swiss online retailer, priced at 498 Swiss francs, or £347, which is significantly lower than the Rift's starting price of £499.

The same website says that the headset will be available from June 30, but nothing has been confirmed by Sony for now.

Select retailers in limited locations will be allowed to stock the Oculus Rift from April, so we could possibly see the PlayStation VR's release date and price confirmed very shortly.
