Sony today announced it\u2019s permanently discounting PSVR 2 starting next month, bringing the PS5 and PC-compatible VR headset to $400.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sony launched PSVR 2 nearly two years ago today at $550. Now, following little fanfare at its two-year anniversary\u2014and no real mention during its State of Play two weeks ago\u2014Sony is slashing the price of PSVR 2 to $400 \/ \u20ac550 \/ \u00a3400 \/ \u00a566,980 starting in March.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the new $400 MSRP affects both its basic PSVR bundle, which includes the headset, two Sense controllers, and headphones,\u00a0and<\/strong> the Horizon Call of the Mountain<\/em>\u00a0hardware bundle, which was priced at $600 at the headset\u2019s February 2023 launch.<\/p>\n

Granted, PSVR 2 has seen a number of sales in the past that brought the headset down an even lower price than we\u2019ll see in March. In November 2024, Sony discounted the Horizon Call of the Mountain<\/em>\u00a0bundle to just $350<\/a>, which could mean the best potential savings are yet to come.<\/p>\n

While Sony highlights a slate of high-quality PSVR 2 content in its new pricing announcement<\/a>, including\u00a0Skydance\u2019s Behemoth<\/em>, Metro Awakening VR<\/em>, and Alien: Rogue Incursion<\/em>, and also upcoming games like Aces of Thunder<\/em>, Dreams of Another<\/em>, Hitman World of Assassination<\/em>, and The Midnight Walk\u2014<\/em>the company hasn\u2019t really thrown its full support behind PSVR 2.<\/p>\n

Sony has released only a handful of first-party titles for PSVR 2, including\u00a0Horizon Call of the Mountain<\/em>, and VR modes for Gran Turismo 7,\u00a0<\/em>Resident Evil Village<\/em>\u00a0and Resident Evil 4 Remake.\u00a0<\/em>This comes in contrast to titles released and\/or published by Sony for the original 2016 PSVR, with included\u00a0Astro Bot Rescue Mission<\/em>, Blood & Truth<\/em>,\u00a0Until Dawn: Rush of Blood<\/em>, PlayStation VR Worlds<\/em>, VR Playroom,\u00a0<\/em>and VR modes for\u00a0Gran Turismo Sport\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.<\/em><\/p>\n

Granted, Sony has done PSVR 2 players somewhat<\/em>\u00a0of a solid by releasing its\u00a0PC Adapter<\/a>\u00a0for $60 last August,\u00a0which lets users hook into a VR-ready PC to play SteamVR games like\u00a0Half-Life: Alyx,\u00a0<\/em>Fallout 4 VR <\/em>and more. Still, the company\u2019s modus operandi\u00a0<\/em>suggests this was only the beginning of its drawn-out decoupling of PSVR 2 from the broader PS5 ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Still, inevitable discounts yet to come could see a similar bump in respectable year-over-year sales like it did this Holiday Season<\/a>, which could bring in more PS5 players looking to play not only the backlog of genuinely great games, but also that steady stream of third-party titles that hasn\u2019t seemed to slow down. Provided we see another 42% discount like Black Friday, that would bring PSVR 2 to just $232\u2014putting well into stocking stuffer territory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
