PlayStation VR2 is getting a $150 price cut in March 2025
The PlayStation VR2 improved on the original in almost every way, but Sony and its studios have rarely taken advantage of the hardware.
The PlayStation VR2 is getting a substantial price reduction in March. After launching in February 2023, Sony has put a few first-party games on it, invited a wealth of third-party titles, and made the device accessible for PCVR. However, Sony has also said the hardware didn’t meet sales expectations and it has done little to actively support it over the last couple years.
Sony announced the details of the PS VR2 price reduction in a PlayStation Blog post this week. Starting in March 2025, the device will be priced down to $399.99 USD / €449.99 / £399.99 / ¥66,980, down from the $549.99 USD it launched at. For that price, you still get the package of the PS VR2 headset, PS VR2 Sense controller, and stereo headphones. There’s also a bundle that includes Horizon Call of the Mountain, strangely set at the same $399.99 price according to the webpage.
Starting March, PlayStation VR2 is available at a new great price. Full details https://t.co/9ndEPYSokd pic.twitter.com/rR7QWf93at

Also curious is how much weight Sony puts on third-party titles that are available on the PS VR2:
It's an interesting move. The PS VR2 packs impressive VR performance into the PS5 and we said as much when it launched, but Sony has arguably played softball with its promotion and support post-launch following underwhelming sales. Either way, if you were waiting for it to be cheaper before checking it out, that time is coming in March. Stay tuned for more updates here at Shacknews.
