Until January 3, you can snag the PlayStation VR2 bundled with Horizon Call of the Mountain for just $350. Normally, the PS VR2 alone sets you back $550, with the bundle costing $600. This hefty discount of $250, translating to over 40% off, applies universally at official retailers, including PlayStation Direct, across various regions.
An intriguing detail to note is that the standalone PS VR2, without the Horizon game, has also been slashed to $350. This means you might as well opt for the Horizon bundle at no extra cost.
Reflecting on its journey, as PlayStation VR2 marks its first year, the question arises: has it met expectations, or does Sony have bigger plans in store? Throughout the year, we didn’t recommend buying a PlayStation VR2 at its original price, particularly due to Sony’s somewhat ambivalent support for the platform.
Initially, Sony impressed with AAA game releases like Horizon Call Of The Mountain, Gran Turismo 7, and Resident Evil Village. However, since then, there’s been a lack of new first-party titles, with the release of Firewall Ultra, which unfortunately led to the studio’s closure due to its poor reception.
Despite this, PlayStation VR2 hasn’t been stagnant. It continues to receive a steady flow of top indie VR titles from platforms like Quest and SteamVR. Additionally, this season is packed with exciting new AAA cross-platform VR releases, including Metro Awakening, which came out earlier this month, as well as Alien: Rogue Incursion and Skydance’s Behemoth, which are expected in December.
Moreover, as of this summer, PlayStation VR2 is no longer exclusive to PS5. PC gamers can purchase a $60 adapter to unlock a vast array of content on SteamVR, broadening its utility.
With the current $350 price tag, all previous gripes about PlayStation VR2’s cost vanish. This Horizon Call Of The Mountain bundle represents the best value we’ve seen for PS VR2 yet. Whether you’re a PS5 enthusiast or a PC gamer new to VR, this deal offers a prime opportunity to dive into the virtual reality world.
