Sony
has
announced
a
drastic
price
cut
for
the
PS
VR2
as
it
enters
its
second
year
on
the
market.
Here
in
the
UK,
the
recommended
retail
price
is
dropping
to
£399.99.
It
launched
in
February
of
2023
for
£529.99.
That’s
a
fairly
drastic
drop
of
over
27%.
The
rest
of
the
world
will
be
able
to
pick
up
the
system
for
$399.99
/
€449.99
/
¥66,980,
starting
in
March.
For
the
US,
that’s
a
31%
decrease
in
price.

Keep
in
mind,
that
for
the
same
price
you
can
actually
get
the
Call
of
thr
Mountain
bundle,
which
nets
you
the
headset
alongside
a
copy
of
Horizon:
Call
of
the
Mountain,
one
of
the
few
first-party
PlayStations
games
native
to
the
headset.
“With
recently
released
hits
like Alien:
Rogue
Incursion, Skydance’s
Behemoth,
and Metro
Awakening
VR,
and
exciting
new
game
launches
on
the
way
including Aces
of
Thunder, Dreams
of
Another, Hitman
World
of
Assassination,
and The
Midnight
Walk,
it’s
never
been
a
better
time
to
jump
into
the
action
with
PS
VR2,”
said
Isabelle
Tomatis,
Vice
President
of
Global
Marketing.
“Using
the PS
VR2
PC
Adapter,
players
will
also
have
access
to
browse,
buy
and
play
thousands
of
virtual
reality
games
on
Steam.”
While
it’s
true
that
the
PS
VR2
has
received
a
few
updates
recently,
there’s
a
strong
feeling
among
the
VR
community
that
Sony’s
support
of
the
headset
has
been
lacking.
Only
a
few
first-party
games
have
been
released
so
far,
leaving
other
publishers
and
developers
to
keep
players
satiated.
In
other
words,
there’s
a
worry
that
Sony
has
all
but
abandoned
the
PS
VR2
already,
likely
due
to
fairly
low
sales.
That
said,
it’s
still
an
impressive
VR
headset
in
its
own
right,
and
perhaps
this
new
price
point
may
tempt
a
few
more
people
to
pick
one
up.
After
all,
it’s
stuck
in
something
of
a
self-fulfilling
fantasy
right
now
–
there
aren’t
enough
players
to
warrant
Sony
and
others
making
big
new
exclusives
for
it,
but
there
isn’t
enough
big
new
exclusives
to
entice
people
to
buy
one,
either.
