PS VR2 Price: Retail, Deals & Price History

PlayStation VR2 shoppers face a simple question that has had a different answer at different times: how much does the headset cost? Sony changed the price once, permanently, and the older figure still shows up in reviews and forum threads written before the cut.

TechRadar reported that the headset's recommended retail price fell to $399.99 from the earlier launch price. Sony described the cut as permanent rather than a temporary sale, and it took effect in March 2025. The package that includes a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain was cut to match, so the two options now sit at one price.

Because the two options cost the same, the bundle is the simpler pick if it is in stock, since it includes the game at no extra cost. If only the headset is available, that works too.

The cut was a large one. Here is what the headset and the bundle cost before March 2025:

The headset launched at $549.99 and the bundle at $599.99, so the bundle carried a premium for the game. After the change, that premium disappeared. If you see a review or deal post using the higher numbers, it likely predates the cut.

The PS VR2 now sits between two Meta headsets on price. As of the February 2025 announcement coverage, TechRadar listed the 128GB Meta Quest 3 at $499.99 and the Meta Quest 3S at $299.99:

The PS VR2 at its new price is below the Quest 3 and above the Quest 3S, according to those figures. The comparison is only partial, because these headsets do different things. The PS VR2 works with a PlayStation 5, so it requires a console, while Meta's headsets are standalone. The cost of a console, if you do not already own one, is a separate expense. Meta's prices may also have changed since early 2025, so check current listings.

The headset price covers the headset and its included controllers and cables. Games are separate, as is any extra charging station or storage you may want. Check your PS5 setup too: you need a free USB port and enough space to play. Retailers may bundle accessories, but those offers change often.

With both packages at one price, the decision is about whether you want the game. The bundle includes a digital code for Horizon Call of the Mountain, so you get the headset and a game for the cost of the headset alone. If you already own that game, or have no interest in it, the headset-only package costs the same and avoids a code you will not use. The earlier gap between the two is gone, so there is no reason to hunt for the cheaper one.

• Is the seller new, open box, or refurbished? Sony's price applies to new units.
• Is there a return window, and does it cover opened VR hardware?
• Does the listing say which package it is: headset only or bundle with the game code?
• If you are buying used, has the original box and controller set been kept together?

A used PS VR2 can be cheaper than the new price, but check the condition of the lenses and controllers closely, and ask whether the unit has any warranty left.

The simplest approach is to look at Sony's own store and then compare it with large electronics retailers. Because Sony cut the recommended price, retailers generally align with it, though you may see short-term promotions. Prefer a seller with a clear return policy, since VR comfort is personal and not every headset suits every face or glasses wearer.
