Sony’s headset is still one of the most immersive ways to game today, and now it’s even cheaper for that ideal present.
As you’d expect, the tech is advanced and in many ways, still ahead of what’s available in the consumer sphere. With eye-tracking, foveated rendering and next-gen haptics, the PSVR2 is one of the most advanced and immersive VR platforms you can buy, with gorgeous 4K HDR rendering that makes VR games feel far more true to life.
At the time of its $599/ £529 price point, there was a fair amount of scrutiny aimed at the PSVR2, but now that the headset has taken a noticeable dip in price to £299 (21% off), it’s an easy recommendation for all PS5 owners.
It’s $299 in the US, with a $100.99 or 25% saving, but hurry, as the deal ends today.
Black Friday pricing returns on PlayStation VR2, just in time for Christmas gifting
The PlayStation VR2 has fallen back to its Black Friday price, making it a standout pick for Christmas gifting.
One of the biggest upsides of the PSVR2 is its seamless interface with the PS5. The moment you turn on the console, you can see a live view of the headset in the top right corner, making it easy to adjust the angle when required.

Motion controls are extremely precise, and feed directly into gameplay, never breaking immersion, and giving players a true sense of presence within the worlds that they enter.
The level of gameplay that you can enjoy with the PSVR2 is also far beyond what the original console could offer, with brilliant titles like Resident Evil 4 Remake, The Dark Pictures: Switchback, Tetris Effect: Connected and many more creating a must-buy software library.

Sony has even opened the gateway to PC gaming, courtesy of the PSVR2 adapter that can be managed with ease from Sony’s website.
Once in possession of the adapter, you simply wire up the headset to your computer, and it can then be used with Steam to access the hundreds of VR titles available on that platform.
Purely as a concept, the PSVR2 represented an unbelievable leap forward in technology that allows gamers to enjoy an almost surreal level of immersion.
