The Sony PSVR2 headset has long been the top choice for PS5 users interested in VR, but admittedly, given its price, it hasn’t been the most affordable option out there. Well, that just changed. Sony recently made waves by announcing a price drop, bringing the headset down to $399.99. This new price point places it much closer to its competitor, the Meta Quest 3, which retails at $499, and the Quest 3S, available for $299.
For those contemplating snagging the PlayStation VR2 headset at this more accessible price, now is the perfect time! Major retailers have already adjusted their prices, and you can grab the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for just $399.99 at Target. It’s worth noting that Amazon has already sold out, making Target a prime destination for this deal.
When it comes to the best PlayStation VR2 offers today, you won’t want to miss the bundle that includes the headset along with Horizon Call of the Mountain. We rated this game 7 out of 10 in our evaluation. Although it’s a PlayStation exclusive, don’t think you’re restricted to your PS5. Last year, Sony introduced a PSVR2 PC adapter. This handy accessory allows users to connect the headset to their PC and dive into SteamVR games, making the PlayStation VR2 one of the top VR options for PC enthusiasts. We’ve put together a guide that explains how to connect it to your PC if you need additional guidance.
Reflecting on our initial hands-on experience with the PSVR2, here’s a quick summary of our thoughts:
“The PlayStation VR2 might initially seem expensive, especially since it’s $150 more than the base PS5 Digital Edition console needed to use it. Yet, it represents a significant advancement over the original PSVR. In terms of user-friendliness, visual fidelity, and overall immersion, it’s a game-changer for PlayStation fans who love VR. The standout improvements include its 4K HDR OLED display and the superbly tactile Sense controllers. Added to this are various quality-of-life enhancements and the PS5’s sheer power, which set new standards for VR gameplay. The main drawback, at launch, is the scant library of compatible games, which are not backward compatible with earlier PSVR games. However, this situation is bound to improve as Sony and other developers introduce new titles utilizing the PSVR2’s distinctive features.”
