Sony kept its Cyber Monday deals going on some of its most popular items, like the PS5 Pro, DualSense controllers and this PlayStation VR2 headset that comes with Horizon Call of the Mountain<\/strong>. If you\u2019re looking for a great VR headset, the PS VR2 is now at its lowest price ever on Amazon: $299, down from its usual $399<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You need a PS5 console to use this headset, but if you already have one, this is one of the best ways to play VR games without spending a lot of money<\/strong> on a high-end PC setup. The package comes with a full AAA game that was made just to show off what the hardware can do, so you\u2019ll want to strap in right away when it arrives.<\/p>\n

Immersive Technology<\/p>\n

The PlayStation VR2 has eye-tracking technology<\/strong> that keeps track of where you\u2019re looking in real time. This lets games show more details in your focus area while using less processing power on your peripheral vision. This foveated rendering method keeps frame rates smooth to avoid motion sickness while making the most important parts of the image look sharper. Headset feedback makes VR experiences feel more real<\/strong> by vibrating when you feel wind rushing past your face in a racing game or rumbling when explosions happen near your character. The headset\u2019s subtle haptic feedback<\/strong>, along with the sound and visuals, make you feel like you\u2019re really there, which flat-screen gaming can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n

The 4K HDR display covers both eyes<\/strong> and has a total resolution of 4000 x 2040 pixels. This makes images look very clear compared to older VR headsets that had screen door effects. Text is still easy to read, things that are far away are still clear, and the overall visual quality is closer to what you\u2019d expect from a high-quality monitor than the blurry mess that earlier VR attempts had. The 110-degree field of view<\/strong> naturally wraps around your peripheral vision, which cuts down on the telescope effect that made some VR headsets feel like looking through binoculars.<\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s 3D audio technology makes soundscapes that put audio sources in three-dimensional space<\/strong> around you in the right places. In Resident Evil Village VR, you can hear enemy footsteps behind you, hear creatures skittering overhead in horror games, or follow the direction of friendly callouts in cooperative games. The spatial audio works through the headset\u2019s built-in headphones, which keeps cables from getting in the way and gives sound quality that makes most players not need external headphones.<\/p>\n

The VR2 Sense controllers have haptic feedback<\/strong> that changes texture and resistance depending on what you\u2019re touching in games. Adaptive triggers change their tension on the fly, so bows feel like they\u2019re actually drawing back, and triggers give you realistic resistance as you pull them. Finger touch detection can tell when your fingers are resting on buttons without pressing them. This makes hand gestures and interactions in VR spaces feel more natural. These controllers are a huge improvement over the Move wands from the last generation<\/p>\n

Horizon Call of the Mountain<\/strong> is the best way to get to know VR2\u2019s features: The climbing mechanics show off how accurate the controllers are, and the bow combat shows how adaptive trigger feedback works. The game runs well and looks great. It offers hours of fun gameplay that makes the bundle more than just a tech demo. The library is bigger than just the bundled game, with more VR2 games like Resident Evil Village, Gran Turismo 7\u2019s VR mode, and other exclusives.<\/p>\n

A $100 discount on hardware that lets you play real console VR games in your living room is a drop from $399 to $299. The VR2 costs money to buy a PS5, which limits its audience compared to standalone headsets but if you already own Sony\u2019s console, this deal gives you high-quality VR experiences for a fraction of what similar PC setups would cost.<\/p>\n
