Sony has never been shy about trying new things, and after the PlayStation 4 got the original PSVR, the PlayStation 5 gets, you guessed it, PlayStation VR 2. The PS5 headset is a marked step up from what came before, and thanks to PlayStation’s Black Friday deals, you can pick one up for just under $300. The deal is available at every major retailer that sells gaming gear.

Horizon: Call of the Mountain Bundle
You can either get the base PSVR, or the one that comes bundled with Horizon: Call Of The Mountain, so you’ll obviously want the one that comes with a free game. Both are reduced by 25% from the MSRP, bringing it down to $299, and includes everything you need to jump into VR – except, well, a PlayStation 5. Thankfully, PS5 consoles are on sale for Black Friday as well.
Still, if you do have Sony’s latest and greatest console you can enjoy the headset, two controllers with finger tracking, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers, and a copy of Horizon: Call Of The Mountain.
We gave the game 7/10 when Simon Cardy reviewed it, writing, “Horizon Call of the Mountain’s exciting highs elevate it just enough above its often monotonous climbing mechanics to create a fun first blockbuster entry into the PS VR 2 library.” But if you were planning on picking up the headset anyway, it’s a nice bonus inclusion.
For those without a PS5, there’s also a pretty affordable PC adapter available. The headset has since earned its place as one of the best VR headsets for PC gaming, and actually setting it up with your gaming rig is fairly easy.
So, what of the hardware? The HDR OLED panel inside the headset supports up to 120Hz refresh rate, and there’s a 110-degree field of view for improved immersion, with foveated rendering to know where you’re looking and what to render in more detail.
We gave the headset a huge 9/10 from Gabriel Moss, saying, “With top-notch visual quality and immersively tactile Sense controllers, PlayStation VR2 represents a quantum leap over its predecessor, setting a new standard for console VR gaming.”
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
