For those who own a PS5, the Sony PSVR2 stands out as possibly the premier virtual reality headset, although it’s admittedly not a cheap investment. However, exciting news came from Sony just yesterday—they’re cutting the recommended retail price of the headset to $399.99. This adjustment is welcome as it aligns the PSVR2 more closely with the pricing of Meta’s Quest 3 series, where the Quest 3 is tagged at $499 and the Quest 3S at $299.
If you’ve been eyeing the PlayStation VR2 at this new, friendlier price, you’re in luck! Many retailers have swiftly embraced the price drop, and Target is currently offering the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for just $399.99. Unfortunately, it’s already sold out over at Amazon, so you’ll want to act fast if you’re interested.
In terms of deals today, this is probably your best bet for snagging the PlayStation VR2. The bundle itself is not just about the headset; it includes a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain, which received a solid 7 out of 10 in our review. Although the game is a PlayStation exclusive, the PSVR2 is not limited to use with the PS5 alone. Thanks to a handy PSVR2 PC adapter Sony rolled out last year, you can hook up the headset to your PC and dive into SteamVR games. This addition significantly boosts its standing as a top-tier VR option for PC gamers. Curious about how to connect it to your PC? We’ve got a detailed guide to help you with that.
Reflecting back on our review of the PSVR2 when it hit the shelves, we found a lot to like. Here’s a quick recap of our thoughts:
“Even though the PlayStation VR2 is priced on the higher end, at $150 more than the basic PS5 Digital Edition needed to operate it, the improvements it offers over its predecessor are substantial. It’s leaps and bounds better in terms of user comfort, visual clarity, and immersive experience, making it a worthy upgrade for any VR-enthusiast who calls PlayStation home. The device shines with its 4K HDR OLED screen and impeccably responsive Sense controllers, but also with numerous user-friendly enhancements and the sheer power brought by the PS5. However, its downside lies in a sparse launch lineup and no backward compatibility with the original PSVR games, a hiccup that should improve over time as more games emerge to utilize the PSVR2’s capabilities.”
