For those fortunate enough to own a PlayStation 5 and a keen interest in virtual reality, the PSVR2 headset is undoubtedly a top contender. Until recently, this cutting-edge VR gear came with a hefty price tag. But here’s some good news: Sony just announced a significant price drop for the headset, bringing it down to $399.99. This adjustment places it in a more competitive range with the likes of the Meta Quest 3 series, which currently stands at $499 for the Quest 3 and $299 for the Quest 3S.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to dive into the world of VR with the PSVR2, now is the perfect time. Many retailers have already rolled out the new pricing, and Target is offering the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for just $399.99. This deal is so hot that it’s already sold out at Amazon.
And speaking of deals, the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle is definitely worth a look. Not only do you get the headset, but it also includes a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain, a title we rated at 7 out of 10. This game remains exclusive to PlayStation, but that doesn’t mean the headset is limited to console use. Thanks to a PSVR2 PC adapter released by Sony last year, you can connect it to your PC to enjoy SteamVR games, making it a versatile option for both console and PC gamers alike.

When we first got our hands on the PSVR2, we were impressed. Here’s a quick rundown of our impressions: At first glance, the PSVR2’s price might put off some, given it’s $150 more than the base PS5 Digital Edition console itself. However, once you experience its features, it feels like a bargain. It’s a monumental step up from the original PSVR, boasting better ease of use, superior visuals, and immersive gameplay. With a stunning 4K HDR OLED screen and innovative Sense controllers, the upgrades are clear. Even though the initial game lineup is somewhat limited and backward compatibility with older PSVR titles is lacking, the platform’s potential is evident. As new titles roll out, leveraging PSVR2’s capabilities, this headset is set to redefine console VR gaming.
So, whether you’re a long-time VR enthusiast or a curious newcomer, the PSVR2 has plenty to offer, with even more on the horizon.
