For PlayStation 5 aficionados looking to elevate their gaming experience, the Sony PSVR2 headset is undeniably a top-notch choice. In the past, its hefty price tag might have been a deal-breaker for some, but Sony has just made a game-changing announcement. Yesterday, the company disclosed a price reduction for the PSVR2, bringing it down to $399.99. This new pricing aligns it more competitively with the Meta Quest 3 lineup, which is set at $499 for the standard Quest 3 and $299 for the Quest 3S.
Now’s the perfect opportunity to snag a PlayStation VR2 headset at this more wallet-friendly price! Retailers have already begun reflecting this price adjustment in their listings. For instance, you can now grab the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for just $399.99 at Target—though if you’re eyeing it on Amazon, you might be out of luck as it has already flown off the virtual shelves.
Today’s stand-out deal is undoubtedly the PlayStation VR2 bundle, which includes a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain. We rated this PlayStation-exclusive game a solid 7 out of 10. Importantly, while Horizon Call of the Mountain is a PlayStation-exclusive, the headset itself isn’t just for PS5 gameplay. Sony introduced a PSVR2 PC adapter last year, unlocking the potential to connect your headset to a PC for enjoying SteamVR titles. This versatility enhances the PSVR2’s reputation as a fantastic choice for both console and PC VR gaming enthusiasts. If you’re curious about how to hook it up to your PC, we’ve got a comprehensive guide to help you through the process.
Reflecting on our initial hands-on experience with the PSVR2, here’s a snapshot of our impressions from the review:
“The PlayStation VR2 might initially seem steep, especially since it’s priced $150 more than the base PS5 Digital Edition console required to use it. However, its advancements over the original PSVR in terms of user-friendliness, visual fidelity, and immersive potential make it a must-have upgrade for any VR-loving PlayStation owner. With standout features like its 4K HDR OLED display and the impressively responsive Sense controllers, combined with numerous quality-of-life improvements, it’s a testament to what VR gaming should embody on a console. Certainly, the initial scarcity of titles and the absence of backward compatibility with earlier PSVR games pose challenges, but these issues are likely to fade as Sony and other developers release new titles that harness the PSVR2’s cutting-edge capabilities.”
In summary, if you’ve been holding out for the ideal moment to buy this headset, this newly adjusted price might just be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
