PlayStation VR2 will be just $300 on Black Friday, $100 off, in a sale that will last for an unspecified “limited time”.<\/p>\n

Originally priced at $550, Sony officially cut the price of the headset to $400 earlier this year<\/a>, just over two years after it launched.<\/p>\n

Now, for Black Friday 2025 PlayStation VR2 will be temporarily sold for just $300, its lowest price ever.<\/p>\n

The closest we’ve seen was $350, a price the headset has gone on sale for three times: in summer 2024<\/a>, the 2024 holiday period<\/a>, and for the Days Of Play 2025<\/a> event. During that summer 2024 discount, sales reportedly skyrocketed<\/a>, with one retailer selling more units in one day than had been previously sold all year so far.<\/p>\n

Open-Source Tool Adds Eye-Tracked Foveated Rendering To Many SteamVR Games<\/p>\n

An open-source tool for Windows PCs with modern Nvidia GPUs adds eye-tracked foveated rendering to a huge number of SteamVR games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re a PC gamer, you’ll be able to pick up the headset, Sony’s PC adapter<\/a>, and (if required) a DisplayPort cable and Bluetooth adapter for less than $400 all-in.<\/p>\n

And with PSVR2Toolkit<\/a> and PimaxMagic4All<\/a>, if you have a GTX 16 series or RTX graphics card, you can even leverage eye-tracked foveated rendering in a wide range of SteamVR titles.<\/p>\n

With its 2K OLED displays, PlayStation VR2 offers a more vibrant image with far greater contrast than any other affordable PC VR headset, though with the tradeoff that the image is softer and has some fixed-pattern noise over it.<\/p>\n

Sony Increases PS5 Console Prices In The US<\/p>\n

From tomorrow, the Digital Edition will be $500, the version with a disc drive $550, and the PS5 Pro $750.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The PS5 and PS5 Pro will also be on sale from Friday, with the same $100 discount. The Black Friday deals come three months after Sony increased the price<\/a> of the consoles.<\/p>\n

The digital edition PS5 will be on sale for $400, while the PS5 Pro will be offered at $650.<\/p>\n

That means you’ll be able to grab a PS5 and PlayStation VR2 together for $700, or a PS5 Pro and PS VR2 for $950, delivering a full consolized high-end VR experience for less than $1000.<\/p>\n

Of course, next year Valve too will offer a consolized high-end VR experience with Steam Frame<\/a> and Steam Machine. That combination will have the significant benefit of being wireless, but will also likely cost at least twice as much, making Sony’s Black Friday proposition still a good deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PlayStation VR2 will be just $300 on Black Friday, $100 off, in a sale that will last for…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":388219,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[158,67,132,68,729,730],"class_list":{"0":"post-388218","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-virtual-reality","13":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115572329172620519","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388218"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388218\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
