For PS5 enthusiasts, the Sony PSVR2 Headset has long been the top choice in virtual reality gear, though its price tag might have deterred some from purchasing. Luckily, just yesterday, Sony announced a price reduction, bringing the headset down to a more palatable $399.99. This new pricing puts it in better competition against rivals like the Meta Quest 3, which sells for $499, and the Quest 3S, priced at $299.
If you’re contemplating adding the PlayStation VR2 to your gaming arsenal at this newly reduced price, now’s the perfect time to make it happen! Retailers are already reflecting this price cut, and you can grab the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for a mere $399.99 at Target. With Amazon already running out of stock, Target remains your best shot at securing this deal.

Alongside the headset, this bundle includes a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain, which we rated a solid 7 out of 10 in our review. While this game is a PlayStation exclusive, you aren’t restricted to using the headset solely with a PS5. Last year, Sony introduced a PSVR2 PC adapter, enabling you to hook up the headset to a PC and dive into SteamVR games. This versatility has made the PlayStation VR2 headset a favorite among PC gamers as well. For those interested, we have a detailed guide on connecting it to a PC for further insight.
### Our Review Insights
We had the chance to delve into the PSVR2 headset when it launched, and here’s a concise overview of our impressions:
“The PlayStation VR2 might seem on the pricier side, considering it costs $150 more than the baseline PS5 Digital Edition that you need to utilize it. Still, it represents such a significant upgrade from the original PSVR in terms of user-friendliness, visual fidelity, and immersion that any dedicated VR enthusiast should consider the upgrade essential. Its 4K HDR OLED display and ultra-responsive Sense controllers are the standout advancements, but a slew of quality-of-life enhancements combined with the raw power of the PS5 sets a new benchmark for VR gaming on consoles. The only downside is its somewhat sparse launch lineup, which, coupled with its lack of backward compatibility with older PSVR games, presents a challenge. However, this is likely to improve as Sony and other developers release new games that leverage the PSVR2’s capabilities.”
The PlayStation VR2 continues to elevate gaming experiences with its cutting-edge features and adaptability, making it a standout choice for both console and PC gamers alike.
