PlayStation VR2 Gets a Permanent Price Cut

Sony Interactive have announced that the PlayStation VR2 will drop in price from $549.99 to $399.99. The change will take effect in March. The console includes PS VR2 headset, PS VR2 Sense controller, and stereo headphones. The PlayStation VR2 first launched in February 2023. Several players believe the headset is overpriced and as a result, the device has seen low sales numbers since. Sony recently released the application page for the PlayStation VR2 on Steam. The platform will officially launched natively with full support on Steam on August 6, 2024. Players are able to play VR games and apps on Steam using their headset and PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers.
