The PlayStation VR2 headset has dropped to match its all-time low price thanks to the PlayStation Days of Play sale, so if you’ve been considering picking one up for yourself, right now would be the time to do so. But the question is: Should you actually buy one in 2025? The PSVR2 originally launched for a whopping $599, but Sony dropped the price down to just $399 back in March. The latest discount brings that price all the way down to only $349 for both the stand-alone headset and the Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle.

PSVR 2: Horizon Call of The Mountain Bundle

The new $50 discount on the PSVR2 bundle is certainly tempting if you’ve been wanting to get into VR, but there are a few things to consider before you buy. This is likely the lowest price we’ll see on this headset for quite some time and it is the only VR option for PS5 owners. If you want to play Horizon Call of The Mountain, owning a PSVR2 is currently the only way you’ll be able to do that. Just last year Sony also released the PSVR2 PC adapter that allows you to connect it to your PC and play VR games there as well.
That being said, Sony isn’t really investing much into first-party VR games anymore. And with the price drop back in March and the release of the PC adapter, it definitely seems like PS5 owners aren’t going to be seeing a slew of new and exciting VR games any time soon.
Is It Worth Buying a PSVR 2 in 2025?
Now that the PSVR 2 is cheaper than the standard Meta Quest 3 and has PC compatibility, it’s worth considering if you’re looking to get into VR. Since it is really the only VR option for PlayStation, this price definitely makes it worth it if you have both a PS5 and a PC that can handle VR games. You do have to purchase the PC adapter if you want to access your SteamVR library, but connecting to PC is a fairly simple process overall.
If you don’t own a PS5 and are just looking for a decent VR headset for PC, the PSVR 2 probably isn’t worth your money. The Meta Quest 3S is still cheaper and doesn’t require any sort of extra adapter to start playing games. Since the PSVR 2 isn’t a standalone VR headset, you’d also be better off going with the Quest 3 if you don’t have either a PS5 or a PC to connect to.
