PlayStation VR2 Is $300 Until Just Before Christmas


PlayStation VR2 is on sale for $300, its lowest price ever, and this includes the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle.

Originally priced at $550, Sony officially cut the price of the headset to $400 earlier this year, just over two years after it launched.

Now, for the 2025 holiday season PlayStation VR2 is temporarily being sold for just $300, its lowest price ever. This price applies to both the regular SKU and the bundle with Horizon Call of the Mountain, so you should always grab the latter if it’s in stock.

The new $300 sale ends at 11:59pm Pacific Time on December 18, just in time for Christmas.

The lowest price we’d seen before this was $350, which the headset has gone on sale for three times: in summer 2024, the 2024 holiday period, and for the Days Of Play 2025 event. During that summer 2024 discount, sales reportedly skyrocketed, with one retailer selling more units in one day than had been previously sold all year so far.

Open-Source Tool Adds Eye-Tracked Foveated Rendering To Many SteamVR Games

An open-source tool for Windows PCs with modern Nvidia GPUs adds eye-tracked foveated rendering to a huge number of SteamVR games.

If you’re a PC gamer, you can now pick up the headset, Sony’s PC adapter, and (if required) a DisplayPort cable and Bluetooth adapter for less than $400 all-in.

And with PSVR2Toolkit and PimaxMagic4All, if you have a GTX 16 series or RTX graphics card, you can even leverage eye-tracked foveated rendering in a wide range of SteamVR titles.

With its 2K OLED displays, PlayStation VR2 offers a more vibrant image with far greater contrast than any other affordable PC VR headset, though with the tradeoff that the image is softer and has a non-uniform fixed-pattern noise over it, called mura.

Sony Increases PS5 Console Prices In The US

From tomorrow, the Digital Edition will be $500, the version with a disc drive $550, and the PS5 Pro $750.

The PS5 and PS5 Pro are also on sale, with the same $100 discount. The holiday deals come three months after Sony increased the price of the consoles.

The digital edition PS5 is on sale for $400, while the PS5 Pro is at $650.

That means you can grab a PS5 and PlayStation VR2 together for $700, or a PS5 Pro and the headset for $950, delivering a full consolized high-end VR experience for less than $1000.

Every PlayStation VR2 Game With PS5 Pro Enhancements

PS5 Pro has a selection of PlayStation VR2 games with dedicated enhancements. Here’s the full list of upgraded titles.

Of course, next year Valve too will offer a consolized high-end VR experience with Steam Frame and Steam Machine. That combination will have the significant benefit of being wireless, but will also likely cost at least twice as much, making Sony’s holiday proposition still a good deal.
