Sony Permanently Lowers PlayStation VR2 Price to $399 Starting March
The price cut addresses slow sales of the headset and aims to attract more users with expanded features and a growing game library.
- Sony has announced a permanent $150 price reduction for the PlayStation VR2, effective March 2025, bringing the cost to $399.99 in the US, €449.99 in Europe, and £399.99 in the UK.
- A bundle including the PS VR2, Sense controllers, stereo headphones, and a voucher for 'Horizon: Call of the Mountain' will also be available at the same reduced price.
- The price cut follows reports of unsold inventory and production pauses in 2024, as the headset struggled to meet initial sales expectations after its 2023 launch.
- Sony has highlighted recent updates, including low-latency hand tracking, which enhances gameplay by allowing intuitive hand movement controls in supported games.
- The growing library of VR titles, including recent releases and upcoming games like 'Aces of Thunder' and 'Dreams of Another,' aims to make the PS VR2 more appealing to consumers.
