For PS5 enthusiasts who crave a top-tier VR experience, the Sony PSVR2 Headset has always been a prime choice, albeit with a hefty price tag. However, yesterday, Sony made an exciting announcement: they’re slashing the headset’s recommended retail price to a more budget-friendly $399.99. This new pricing aligns more closely with Meta’s Quest 3 series, where the Quest 3 is priced at $499 and the Quest 3S at $299.
Excited to snag the PlayStation VR2 at this new price point? Now’s your chance! Many retailers are already offering the reduced price, including Target, where you can grab the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for the same $399.99. Just a heads-up, though: it’s already sold out at Amazon.
If you’re wondering what deals stand out today, the Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle is a fantastic option. Besides the headset, you’re also getting a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain, which we rated a solid 7 out of 10. Although it’s a PS5 exclusive, don’t think you’re limited to just that console. Last year, Sony introduced a PSVR2 PC adapter, opening up the possibility of enjoying SteamVR games on your PC. This addition has made the PSVR2 one of the top choices for PC players. If you’re keen on setting it up, our detailed guide on connecting it to your PC is a must-read.
Reflecting on our review of the PSVR2, here’s a snapshot of what stood out to us:
“While the PlayStation VR2’s price might give pause—it is, after all, $150 more than the basic PS5 Digital Edition—its enhancements make it a worthy upgrade. The leap forward from the original PSVR is undeniable, offering superior ease of use, stunning visuals, and deeply immersive gameplay. Any PlayStation fan invested in VR should consider upgrading. The 4K HDR OLED display and the tactile Sense controllers are standout features. Combined with various user-friendly improvements and the PS5’s robust capabilities, the PSVR2 sets a fresh benchmark for console VR. The primary drawback at launch was a limited game library and no backward compatibility for PSVR titles. Yet, as Sony and other developers bring new titles to the ecosystem, the PSVR2’s unique attributes will truly shine.”
