PlayStation VR2 is one of the standout deals in this year’s PS5 Black Friday sale, offering an incredible discount. The PSVR2 Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle has dropped by $250, bringing it down to just $350—matching the price of the standalone headset in this sale. (This deal is also available in the UK at an equivalent price).
Opting for the bundle is an easy choice, as it includes a fantastic game to pair with your new VR headset. This deal positions the PSVR2 as a compelling alternative to more affordable VR options like the Meta Quest, making it an enticing option for newcomers and enthusiasts alike. Considering the sheer value of the headset, this seems like a no-brainer for PlayStation enthusiasts.
What We Said In Our Review
In his review for IGN, Gabriel Moss bestowed the PSVR2 with a 9, saying: “The PlayStation VR2 may seem pricey, given that it costs $150 more than the base PS5 Digital Edition console you’ll need to use it. Even so, it’s such a quantum leap over the original PSVR in terms of ease of use, visual quality, and immersion that any PlayStation owner who loves VR should upgrade as soon as possible.”
“Its 4K HDR OLED screen and excellently tactile Sense controllers are the most obvious improvement, but plentiful quality-of-life changes and the raw horsepower of the PS5 set a new standard for how VR games should play and feel on console.”
PS5 Black Friday Deals Are Now Live at Amazon
PlayStation’s PS5 console deals are also now live for Black Friday, featuring the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle, and NBA 2K Bundle, at just $374.99 for the Digital Edition or $424.99 for the Disc Edition. These deals are also available in the UK at an equivalent price.
This is the best PS5 console deal of the year – and it’ll likely be the last major discount heading into the holidays. If you’ve been holding out for a great price, now’s your chance. However, these deals could sell out or expire before Black Friday itself, so act quickly to secure yours and avoid disappointment. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer.
What You Need to Use PSVR 2 on PC
Hardware-wise, you need the PC adapter and a PSVR 2 headset – as well as a VR-capable gaming PC, naturally. You’ll also need to download the PlayStation VR2 and SteamVR apps from Steam. You can find the minimum PC requirements and more details on the PlayStation Blog.
In addition to the convenience of using one headset to play all of your VR games, what really stands out about PSVR2 on PC is the OLED display. It makes everything look bright and clear and vivid. However, the drawback for using PSVR2 on PC is that PCs can’t take advantage of some of the unique features you can access when playing on PS5. That includes things like eye tracking, HDR, and adaptive trigger support.
When Is Black Friday 2024?
The actual date of Black Friday in 2024 falls on November 29 this year, but the deals have already kicked off. Leading up to the big event, retailers have begun to open deals online.
Each day leading up to the event will slowly roll out more deals, which ultimately leads to massive discounts on Black Friday. We already know what PlayStation and Xbox have in store, and most general deals will be available well in advance, such as this excellent discount on DualSense controllers.
