Sony/CNET

Competition among the best VR headsets is only intensifying, and no doubt one of the biggest factors surrounding the tech's success is the price. Sony's next-gen PlayStation VR 2 unit has been on the market for just over a year, and now we're finally seeing some decent discounts on it that are worth shouting about. If you own a PS5 or want to get in on the exclusive titles Sony is making, this is the VR option to go for and now's a great time to consider taking the plunge.

The PSVR 2 takes your PS5 gaming experience to a whole new level and offers plenty of VR games for you to choose from. Deals are usually difficult to come by unless you choose a bundle that comes with one of the best PSVR 2 games. Horizon Call of the Mountain is an excellent game, and if you buy it bundled with your new headset you'll save a little cash. The good news is that you save even more right now with the PlayStation Days of Play celebration taking place from May 29 to June 12.

So with that, we've rounded up all the best PSVR 2 prices and game discounts on the web today.

Best PlayStation VR 2 deals

Sony's PSVR 2 unit retails for $550 and is readily available at Sony, as well as at major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. Right now, it has some discounts applied to both the standalone unit and the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle, shaving off over $100 in some cases. This is the first time we've seen discounts like this since the unit was released. 

Sony's Days of Play sale has slashed the price of the PSVR 2 Horizon bundle by 17%, which equates to savings of more than $100. This is the lowest price we've seen for this bundle since its launch, so if you've been keeping an eye on it, this deal is well worth taking advantage of before it expires on June 12.

The standalone unit for PSVR 2 has also received a drop in price, thanks to Sony's Days of Play sale. This will last until June 12, so don't miss out if you're keen on exploring the world of VR and some exclusive PS games. 

Best PlayStation VR 2 game deals

Developer Polyphony Digital made Gran Turismo 7 compatible with PSVR 2 as part of update 1.29 in February 2023, so now you can take to the track like never before. With a $30 discount, you can also pick it up for a lot less than its typical RRP. 

How much does a PlayStation VR 2 cost? 

Sony's PSVR 2 has a retail price of $550. The set includes the headset itself as well as two PSVR 2 Sense controllers. There are occasional discounts, but this is the retail price that the manufacturer has set.

Does the PlayStation VR 2 require a PS5?

Yes, you must own a PS5 to set up and use the PlayStation VR 2 headset. The PSVR 2 isn't a stand-alone, self-contained headset like Meta's Quest 3 or Quest Pro; it has to be tethered to Sony's latest-gen console. Fortunately, it's a lot easier than it used to be to get your hands on a PS5, which is currently available at SonyAmazon and Best Buy.

If you're looking for even more savings on Sony gaming hardware and accessories or want to pick up a PS5, you can check out our full roundup of all the best PlayStation deals available now.
