PlayStation has slashed the price of its VR2 headset, along with the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle, to just $350 until January 3. Normally, the headset alone costs $550, and when bundled with the game, it’s $600. This price cut offers an enticing $250 off, which is more than a 40% discount. This great deal is available through all official retailers and even on PlayStation Direct, covering several regions worldwide.
Interestingly, even if you opt for the hardware without the game, it’s also down to $350, meaning there’s really no reason not to grab the bundle with Horizon Call of the Mountain included.
Approaching the one-year milestone, a lingering question remains: Has PlayStation VR2 underperformed, or is this just the beginning of something bigger for Sony? The VR headset reaches its first anniversary today, prompting discussions about its success and future potential.
Throughout much of the year, I often advised against purchasing a PlayStation VR2 at its standard price, especially for those using a PS5. Sony’s ongoing commitment to the platform seemed somewhat uncertain.
At launch, Sony delivered hit titles like Horizon Call Of The Mountain, Gran Turismo 7, and Resident Evil Village. However, there’s been a noticeable absence of similar high-profile releases since. Almost two years in, the only new first-party title, Firewall Ultra, unfortunately didn’t impress and resulted in the studio shutting down.
Despite this, the VR2 platform has steadily welcomed several top indie VR titles from Quest and SteamVR. This season stands out with the introduction of exciting AAA cross-platform VR games. Metro Awakening made its debut earlier this month, and both Alien: Rogue Incursion and Skydance’s Behemoth are expected in December.
Not limited to the PS5 anymore, the PlayStation VR2 can now be enjoyed on a gaming PC. By purchasing a PC adapter, priced around $60, you gain a wealth of new experiences on SteamVR.
Taking a closer look at PlayStation VR2, it’s seen as a leap into next-generation VR gaming for the PS5. With a week’s worth of testing Sony’s new headset, enthusiasts and critics alike are curious—does it deliver? We’ve been eagerly waiting for this, and finally, PSVR 2 is here.
With the price now at $350, former criticisms regarding the cost of PlayStation VR2 seem less valid. This deal, bundled with Horizon Call Of The Mountain, is unparalleled in value. If you own a PS5 or a gaming PC and are venturing into VR for the first time, this package presents a fantastic opportunity to dive in.
