The Sony PSVR2 Headset is undoubtedly a top pick for PlayStation 5 enthusiasts, though it’s often come at a steep price. However, Sony just announced a welcome change: they’ve cut the headset’s retail price to a more wallet-friendly $399.99. This adjustment makes it far more competitive against the Meta Quest 3, which stands at $499, and the affordable Quest 3S, priced at $299.
Now is the perfect time if you’ve been thinking about adding the PSVR2 to your collection. Many retailers are already reflecting the new pricing, and you can grab the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for just $399.99 at Target. Unfortunately, it’s sold out on Amazon, so your best bet is heading to Target.
Today’s Top PlayStation VR2 Deal
The bundle is a great pick; not only does it include the headset, but it also comes with Horizon Call of the Mountain, which we rated 7 out of 10 in our review. Although the game is exclusive to PlayStation, you’re not limited to just PS5 use. Thanks to a PSVR2 PC adapter released last year, you can connect the headset to your PC and dive into SteamVR games, making it a fantastic choice for PC gamers as well.

Our Review Takeaways
We had the opportunity to test the PSVR2 headset when it launched. Here’s a brief rundown of our impressions:
"The PlayStation VR2 might initially seem costly, considering it’s $150 more than the base PS5 Digital Edition you need to run it. However, it surpasses the original PSVR in terms of ease, visual splendor, and immersive experience. Any PlayStation fan who is into VR should consider upgrading without delay. Highlights include the 4K HDR OLED display and the highly responsive Sense controllers. These, coupled with numerous quality-of-life improvements and the powerful PS5, redefine VR gaming on consoles. The main hitch is its limited initial game selection and lack of backward compatibility with older PSVR games, a hurdle that should dwindle as Sony and others develop new titles tailored to the PSVR2’s strengths."
This headset isn’t just about new experiences; it sets a new bar for VR gameplay both for console and PC users. So whether you’re a long-time PlayStation lover or a PC gamer eager for top-notch virtual reality, the PSVR2 at its new price is a deal worth considering.
