PlayStation VR2 Gets a BIG Price Cut - So Is It Worth It Now?

Sony just dropped the price of the Horizon: Call of the Mountain PSVR2 bundle by a massive $200 and knocked $150 off the standard PSVR2 package, bringing both down to $399.99. Yes, you read that correctly—both the bundle with the game and the bundle without the game now cost the same $400. Why? No idea. But if you can find the Horizon: Call of the Mountain version in your local game store, this is a no-brainer—you're getting the headset and a solid (if short) game for the same price as the barebones package. Sure, $400 isn't cheap, but compared to the original $600 price tag, it's a way easier pill to swallow.

So, is the PSVR2 finally worth it? At this price point, I'd say yes. When it first launched, I found it hard to recommend—after all, the headset was more expensive than the PS5 itself! Dropping $600 on a peripheral for a $500 console felt absurd. But after spending extensive time with the PSVR2, I can confidently say it's an incredible piece of hardware. The visuals are stunning, the immersion is top-tier, and the overall experience feels genuinely next-gen.

Now that it's officially cheaper than the Meta Quest 3, the PSVR2 is a much easier recommendation—especially if you already own a PS5. The Quest still has way more games and remains the more accessible pick in terms of setup and convenience, but for PlayStation owners who've been sitting on the fence, Sony just made the decision a lot easier.
