Sony drops PS VR2 price and throws in an exclusive game

February 28, 2025, 12:58 PM

In a surprise move, Sony announced a massive price cut for its PlayStation VR2 headset. Starting March 2025, the recommended price in the US will drop by 27% — from $549 to $399.99. The price cut coincides with the two-year anniversary of PS VR2's release (launched in February 2023). The standard bundle now includes the headset, Sense controllers, headphones, and even a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain at no extra cost.

The announcement comes alongside a surge of new content:

Alien: Rogue Incursion and Metro Awakening VR are already out;
On the way are Aces of Thunder flight sim, horror title The Midnight Walk, and Hitman World of Assassination;
With the PS VR2 PC adapter, the headset is compatible with the Steam VR library, unlocking thousands of games.

The biggest surprise? A firmware update that brings hand tracking without controllers. This tech, already working in Waltz of the Wizard, uses the headset's cameras to accurately capture real-time gestures.

As a technical journalist for VGTimes, I equally enjoy discussing the latest graphics cards and delving into the intricacies of classic RPGs. Since 2018, I have been writing about games and hardware; my experience in sound engineering has allowed me to understand the nuances of audio technologies well, and I am always on the lookout for something new in the realm of gaming hardware. When I'm not writing about technology, I'm likely exploring the post-apocalyptic wastelands in Fallout, managing a colony in RimWorld, or commanding armies in Hearts of Iron IV. For me, gaming is more than just a hobby—it's a passion that fuels my creativity and keeps me connected to the ever-evolving world of technology.
