Virtual reality gaming used to mean shelling out thousands for a high-end PC setup and premium headset but Sony’s aggressive destocking strategy this Black Friday is flipping that script entirely. The company is slashing prices across its entire PlayStation lineup on Amazon, from consoles to controllers, and the PlayStation VR2 is getting hit hardest with a knockout deal.
Right now, you can grab the PS VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle for just $299, down from its usual $399 price tag (25% off). That’s a serious discount on what’s become the most affordable entry point into proper VR gaming, though there’s one crucial catch: you’ll need a PS5 to make this work. If you’ve already got Sony’s latest console sitting under your TV.
Advanced VR Technology without the Steep Price Tag
When it comes to graphics quality, the PS VR 2 doesn’t hold back and comes with a pair of OLED screens capable of 4K resolution in HDR graphics with a 120Hz refresh rate. With a 2000×2040 pixel resolution for each eye, you’ll be treated to some crisp graphics with absolutely nobody present with screen-door effect, unlike previous versions of VR headset products.
With a 110° field of view, you’ll be able to see everything around you without your eyes having to leave your sockets, giving you a perfect understanding of a new environment rather than being confined in a tunnel-like setup. Sony has included an eye tracking function with foveated rendering capabilities so you can see everything with perfect clarity without needing your eyes to leave your sockets.
The haptic feedback system extends beyond the included Sense controllers straight into the headset itself and creates tactile sensations that match what’s happening on screen. You’ll feel the rumble of footsteps approaching from behind or the tension of drawing a bowstring, all through subtle vibrations in the headset and incredibly precise controller feedback.
The Sense controllers themselves borrow heavily from the PS5 DualSense design philosophy and feature adaptive triggers that provide varying levels of resistance based on in-game actions. Four cameras embedded in the headset track your hands and controllers in 3D space without requiring external sensors, which means you can set up and start playing in minutes rather than spending an hour mounting base stations around your room.
Setup involves a single USB-C cable running from the headset to your PS5, eliminating the rats’ nest of wires that traditionally came with PC VR setups. The headset adjustment dial lets you fine-tune the fit quickly, while the lens distance setting accommodates different eye spacing for crystal-clear focus. Sony included a built-in vent that helps prevent lens fogging during intense gaming sessions, though you might still want to take breaks during marathon play sessions.
At $299 with a full game included, you’re looking at roughly half the cost of comparable PC VR headsets that require a gaming rig worth well over $1,000 to run properly. This Black Friday deal represents Sony clearing inventory but it also marks the moment when high-quality virtual reality gaming became affordable for anyone who already made the PS5 investment.
