Sony has announced a price drop in its PlayStation VR 2 headset. The VR 2 will be discounted to just $399.99, down from the original $549 pricing when it launched in February 2023.
Moreover, the headset will see a price cut in Europe (€449.99), the UK (£399.99), Japan (¥66,980), and other regions.
Sony is positioning the price drop as a “fantastic time to dive into the exciting world of PS VR2,” but it also comes nearly a year after the company reportedly paused PSVR 2 production to clear excess inventory.
According to Bloomberg's report, Sony was trying to shift unsold inventory of the VR2 headset, and this fresh price cut indicated that the PS5 accessory still isn’t selling.
At $549, it was more expensive than the PS5 itself, and a lack of content has certainly held it back. The $399 pricing could certainly help shift units, particularly as you can also use the VR 2 headset on a PC.
Additionally, Sony is reportedly working on Apple Vision Pro support for its PSVR 2 controllers.
