Sony is permanently reducing<\/a> the price of the PlayStation VR2<\/a>. Starting in March, the headset will cost $400, \u20ac450 and \u00a3400 \u2014 down from $550, \u20ac600 and \u00a3530, respectively. Included in the price cut is the Horizon Call of the Mountain<\/em> bundle, which, like the standard package, will cost $400, \u20ac450 or \u00a3400 depending on your region. While it\u2019s been possible to buy the PS VR2 for less than $400 during recent sales<\/a>, the new pricing should give retailers the flexibility to discount the device even more aggressively down the road.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to say what this means for the future of the PS VR2. Arguably, it was too expensive at launch, and at $400, it still costs more than the Meta Quest 3S<\/a>, a standalone headset that doesn\u2019t require a PlayStation 5 or PC<\/a> to power it. Sony recently added support for low-latency hand tracking<\/a>, but overall the company doesn\u2019t appear keen on investing more time and money into the platform. Major first-party studios haven\u2019t made many games for the PS VR2, and those that have, including the creators of Call of the Mountain,<\/em> have seen layoffs in recent months<\/a>.<\/p>\n
