The price of the PlayStation VR 2 headset has arguably been one of its biggest barriers to entry, but right now, you can save a staggering $200 on this impressive virtual reality system. As part of the PlayStation Back to School Sale, the starting price of the PlayStation VR 2 headset has been reduced to $349, while the bundle deal that throws in Horizon Call of the Mountain is available for $399. These PlayStation hardware deals are already starting to sell out at some retailers, so grab one before they're gone if interested.

While it lacks the wireless design of the Meta Quest 3 VR headset, the PlayStation VR 2 is easily one of the most powerful and comfortable VR devices on the market. Like the PS5 console, it has an elegant design coupled with a plug-and-play design that allows a user to start playing games on it right out of the box. The Sense controllers are also great and have inherited a number of haptic feedback features from the PlayStation DualSense controllers to add extra layers of immersion to your games.

Speaking of games, the PSVR 2 library has increased nicely since the headset arrived early last year. There aren't too many exclusives available, but third-party games like Synapse, Pistol Whip, and Arizona Sunshine 2 run very nicely on the headset.

"The technology powering it is modern, making it a worthy companion to the PlayStation 5, and its Sense controllers are designed specifically for gaming in VR spaces," Tamoor Hussain wrote in GameSpot's PSVR 2 review. "The PSVR 2 is undoubtedly a major step forward for PlayStation's virtual reality ambitions and one of the best headsets on the market, but in the ever-shifting landscape of virtual reality, its price and current value proposition leave it in an awkward position once again."

You will need a PS5 to pair the PSVR 2 headset with, as it's not a standalone device. Fortunately, PS5 consoles are on sale right now and you can pick up either a PS5 Slim with a disc drive for $449 or a PS5 Slim Digital Edition for $399. Alternatively, PSVR 2 PC compatibility will be introduced in August, although you will need a special adapter to use it on your PC. You can check out more PlayStation Back to School sale deals below.
