Sony Permanently Reduces PSVR2 Price to $400
The price drop makes the PSVR2 more competitive, but questions remain about its game library and Sony's support.
- Sony's PSVR2 headset will be permanently reduced from $550 to $400 starting in March 2025, including the headset, controllers, and earbuds.
- The price cut follows reports of lower-than-expected sales and Sony's shift to clearing excess stock rather than producing new units.
- The PSVR2 offers high-quality hardware features like OLED displays, eye tracking, and haptic feedback, making it one of the most technically advanced VR headsets available.
- The headset's game library remains a concern, with limited exclusive titles and no backward compatibility for PSVR1 games, though third-party and indie developers have provided notable content.
- The PSVR2 is now compatible with PC via a $60 adapter, opening it to a broader audience but placing it in direct competition with cheaper alternatives like the Meta Quest 3S.
