PlayStation officially announces major price drop

If you’ve ever dreamt about getting your hands on the PlayStation VR2 but found yourself put off by the hardware’s steep price tag, you’re going to like what I’m about to say next.

PlayStation has taken to social media to announce that the PlayStation 5 accessory has received a major permanent price cut.

You see, it wasn’t simply that the PlayStation VR2 previously cost a pretty penny.

It’s that coupled with the fact that you can only use it if you also have a PlayStation 5 console, as the PlayStation VR2 doesn’t function as a standalone product.

The collective cost likely put many off which is perhaps why the PlayStation VR2 hasn’t sold exceptionally well.

Its fortune could now change though, as it’s been confirmed on the PlayStation blog that the PlayStation VR2 is being reduced to $399.99 / €449.99 / £399.99.

For comparison, it launched at $549.99 / €599.99 / £529.99, so we’re talking a hefty discount here.

Horizon: Call of the Mountain is one PS VR2 game I’m eager to try.

That bundle includes a PS VR2 headset, the PS VR2 Sense controller, and stereo headphones.

Alternatively, you can pick up the accessory bundled with Horizon: Call of the Mountain.

This will set you back $399.99 / €449.99 / £399.99 too, so you’re not actually paying any extra for the game.

That’s an incredible deal.

Call of the Mountain is far from being the only great game available on the PS VR2.

You may also want to try out Alien: Rogue Incursion or Metro Awakening, with Hitman World of Assassination and The Midnight Walk just two of three games on the way soon.

Sony additionally announced that the PS VR2 now supports low-latency hand tracking with games like Waltz of the Wizard taking advantage of this new feature.
